4/12/06 - With what appears to be the last alternative night of 2006 arriving on 15/12/06 we will then look forward to 2007 which will possibly be the most eventful year in the clubs history. Got some big things planned, AlternativeSkegness is in talks to bring Frenzy Fest to skegness next year for a few gigs, For those not sure what Frenzy is will bring more news on that soon. We are also planning to get some bigger bands in. As well as that we have some awesome bands booked for you such as Smokescreen, Evil Scarecrow, Backwash, Dirty Protest, Fletch Cadillac & Much More. We also look to get a much more diverse range of bands in from Punk, Metal, Ska, Indie, Blues, EMO, Jazz, Reggae etc to build up the club as a proper rock club that will get people coming down from across the country to see bands & also planning to do an Open Mic Night sometime. Hopefully from April onwards hope to move the band nights from 3 weeks down to 2 weeks and a possible Alternative DJ night every friday during the summer. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.
2/12/06 - The new team has made a mark already, Fat Louis has now become a vuable venue to host the Alternative Nights as of last night & Also may have use of the Library once again to go up after bands finish, This may be a one time thing though. Will keep you posted as things become more Final, Bev & Paul (The Hosts of the band Nights back in 2005) Are back on the team following Nicks departure Meaning sound is sorted for every gig now. Underagers are allowed back in the club but under a new system where Legal Drinkers get a pen mark/stamp on their hand when they enter the club & only those people can get served for alcohol. Any underagers drinking risk not only losing the band nights but for the club to lose its license altogether. But come check out the bands by all means. Next Band Night is on 15/12/06 & Features The Siege, Demi-Reps & Rigollo. Everythings FINALLY running smoothly, Theres alot of Support going into the club now from the team & from the Manager/Owner. Stay tuned & see you at Alternative Night

Also the bigger the turnout the more chance we have of gettin band nights back as the place knows we want them and we are in negotiations with them but keep showing up and show your support. Hope to see all you there.
On the 27th January, the Alternative night started up again in the beach bar after a 3 month hiatus. The turnout for the reopening showed that the Demand for the alternative nights to be back was in indeed high. We also determined that demand for band nights to return to skegness is high as well, We must do all we can to persuade The beach bar or other venues that there is alot of demand and money to be made in hosting live bands. Keep coming to the alternative nights and every chance you have try to persuade the DJ and people behind the bar that you want them back and lets keep them turnouts high.
