"The Spinmasters have some good nights throughout the week, notably The Soundgarden on a Saturday plus 'Trance' and 'Meltin' at the Man Alive. 'Trance' on Fridays see them joined by Tony Ross, Eric and Fizz whilst 'Meltin' with Tony Ross is another of those '88 acid revival nights which seem to be in vogue at present. 'Energy House' with Russ at the Banshee on Fridays is another night worth visiting whilst Momentum on a Tuesday with Graham Massey, Dave and Bruce is now up and running. However, if Graham will be there each weeek, we just don't know!"
