“Gossip, hearsay and half-substantiated stories in the pages of City Fun may sometimes have been motivated by schadenfreude, but they often served a more noble purpose too. There's an example of that here, with the claim that the nightclubs Pips and Rotters operated semi or unofficial bans and restrictions relating to sexuality, race and disability and were hostile to trade union membership. This was ironic, given that the crowd tended to be a polysexual plethora of Bowie-clones, post-punks, goths and funk 'n' soul fans as documented in Nicholas Blincoe's novel Manchester Slingback and elsewhere on the MDMA website.”
