JUSTFIED ANCIENTS OF MOO MOO .....


Canterbury Street, Gillingham.
 The humble setting to many a scene from my life.
From the location of the stationery shop i started my YTS work placement in at the age of 17, to the charity shops and discount store that provided me with many an amazing outfit and cheap knock off designer perfume for my Friday nights out at local indie club night subsonic back in the Britpop years.
And just a few doors up from my place of employment stood the venue of choice for many a young person in the area.
It’s been Joanna’s in its time, The Zone and back in the day when I received the hallowed free entry tickets in commemoration of turning 18 it was known as the Ritzy.
However recently I noticed that like the doctor in the popular BBC tv series it was undergoing yet another regeneration and has now become known as the MooMoo clubrooms.
Which makes me wonder if the inspiration for the name change is down to the fact that many nightclubs often get compared to being much like a “ cattle market “?
