Western Star Domino Club
The Bamboo Clubの成功を受け、西インドから渡ってきた紳士たちがドミノをプレイするために集まるクラブ/ブルーズとしてオープン。80年代にはレゲエやファンク、そしてパンクのライヴも行なわれた。ちなみに、この動画の中にTrickyの祖父Hector Thaws(Tarzan The High Priestサウンドシステムのオーナー)も映っています。
The venues that programmed live music had no such requirements; we went to The Green Rooms, The Western Star Domino Club, The Granary, and Trinity Hall and were allowed to wear what we wanted. None of these places appeared to have particular programming policies either so the music was eclectic. One of the best bits about the Western Star was after the band when the domino players put their calypso records on and we got to dance to that. The Dug Out Club had the same ethos as the live venues whether intentionally or not, and a let’s just do it mentality that even allowed ‘a girl’ to.

In St Pauls there were great clubs. There was already a strong reggae and punk scene in town, and in places like the Western Star Domino club and the Granary there was a strong mix of punk and reggae.
