I have only been to O'Donaghues once, on a visit to Aberdeen last October and I must say I would not be in a hurry to go back!!
It is just as well that Aberdeen has an alternative venue in Peterculter, as I for one would not be keen to go along on a Ceroc night there. We Dundee folk thought that our former Craigtay venue was a dump- it was a 'Palais de Danse' compared to O'Donaghues!!! The main thing I disliked was the cobble effect flooring which extends from in front of the bar and surrounds the tiny little dance floor- it seemed to me to be an accident waiting to happen- I'm surprised that no-one has broken an ankle or damaged some other part of their anatomy. I couldn't believe that some men were actually putting some of the ladies into 'drops', on the night I was there.
Peterculter, on the other hand, is a lovely venue, with a huge,smooth dance floor,the envy of many Ceroc clubs in Scotland, the hall is large enough that you don't get too hot either.
One question - if there are so many Cerocers in Aberdeen that Franck is considering another night, why are there so few of them at the monthly party in the Deaf Club? Any time we come up from Dundee, (and that is quite regularly), there never seem to be many new faces at the dances. There are probably more people at the Dundee dances, and we only have one Ceroc night in a week!!
Good Luck, Aberdonians- I hope you get an alternative to O'Donaghues soon .
