The new owner of legendary Hull live music venue The Welly is keen to see it open again as soon as possible, as he makes plans for more “really quite exciting” developments in the city.
Aaron Mellor, managing director of Tokyo Industries, which has bought the Beverley Road club, said The Welly will benefit from some aesthetic improvements, while retaining all of its original character.
nicest places. can you just walk up to a prince and say hi, how are you doing? no, obviously there are vip areas but last month he went to a place called the box bar and this is a kind of burlesque joint where they have an exotic trance troop that starts at about 3:30 a.m. i think it was started actually by a new yorker. there s a theme here somewhere. and he was there, so these clubs are visited not just by people who are after harry but particularly people who are after professional soccer players. they all hang out at the box bar, mahidki, the wellington club, young women go in packs hoping they ll be able to access the vip areas and the vip guards are looking at you and make an assessment of your appearance and if you come up to scratch you might get through. there s probably around 100 people fairly nearby and you ve got to get through security. you may get lucky but it s tough. that s hilarious. mart martin, love talking to you.
