Clubs (Dance Music) and Music Bars in Corby, Northamptonshire*

Where to go to get down

You can tell us more about Corby.

• I second that. Storm is now shit. The decent dj's have gone. They only have shit drinks behind the bar with shit dj's, doorstaff with shitty attitudes and bar staff that look like they cant wait till closing to go home! Who wants to pay to get into storm when you can have a better night over the village? Not me thats for sure. Like i said its shit!
• Storm oh storm. What are you doing. You were doing so well and now it's all gone down hill. Fair enough you are now checking id's alot more for under age peeps which is good but surely there is an argument to say you should have been doing that anyway! To top it off you've lost your decent dj's. First andy left from Madison and bushwackers. We loved andys cheese lol and then you lost glen from storm. Not the same without these guys in afraid. Rockys it is for us from now I'm afraid! Such a shame but you had got it so right for a while, musically at least.
• Storm. Madisons on rockingham road Corby, getting busier every week, DJ's are still banging the sounds prob the best DJ's in Corby, Loads of ladies great offers on in storm JagerBomb! staff are good and friendly and all the underage twats are gone. Been brilliant since they started I.Ding the older crew are back and a whole lot less hassle. Still got goon's on the door but at least they do thier job making it trouble and kid free, keep it up Storm :)
• Storm. Local night club great Dj's great Music, with brilliant staff and some fantastic Daca events, bring your I.D as if you look under 21 you will need to prove your age. Up Coming event is a Daca Event Aug bank holiday weekend 2011 be there or miss out :)
• Storm. Haven't been here since rocky opened. Boy have I been missing out. Rockafella's can't even come close to competing on atmosphere and dj's. They are awesome. It was really busy on saturday too. Alot busier than it use to be. Probably due to them finally having decent dj's in there. Hats off to you storm. Best place in Corby by a very long mile!

• I don't know how up to date this site is. I am writing this in September 2010. the current DJ in Storm is prob the best DJ they have had. The Maddisons dj on sat nights is also very good. Think they have the best on offer in Corby currently. Nice one guys
• Storm is definitely the place to be in Corby at the moment. It seems to be busier week by week. Dj's are good and always play requests not like previous storm dj. Tosser. Much better than anywhere else in here.
• Rockafellas.......fuck that! Madisons and Storm is definatly the place to be. Bit of pop and chart few drinks in Madisons and then through to Storm when it opens for some bangin tunes from the new guy! Top place, wicked atmosphere and wicked DJ's! Nowhere else in Corby even begins to come close!
• Rockafellas? I'm sorry but the previous person had a point. Rockafellas is exactly what they were on about. A posh wine bar. Storm is corbys ONLY "nightclub" everywhere else is late licence bars. If you wanna a decent nightclub experience in corby it has to be storm. And the new DJ is a lot better as previous people have commented. Storm baby!!!
• Rockafellas just that little bit classier than the rest in Corby
• Storm! Seems it has had a bit of a bad rep. Dunno why to be honest. I was over the other Saturday with some mates from Corby who I ain't seen for years. Had a good night out and I usually am out un either Northampton or Milton Keynes. Its just your typical old fashioned nightclub. Your feet may stick to the floor at the end of the night. And it may get hot and sticky in there but that's what clubs always used to be about. It took me back a few years having a night in Storm. I had some wicked nights in clubs like that and for that, the people of Storm I salute you. I think we have too many "trendy urban london type" clubs about. You just have to look at the likes of club life in nearby wellingborough. Its quieter since it became life than it was as evolution and that's because its no longer a club. By filling it with leather and wood you take away the old fashioned club experience and it feels more like a wine bar! Keep it up Storm you are doing the right thing by keeping it old school. Oh and I agree top dj's!!!
• I want to add to the previous comments about Storm by saying that I agree the dj there is loads better than the moron that was there before but nothing was said about the other dj. They have a feeder bar called madisons. The dj there is also a good dj. Playing a good mix of music genres. The atmosphere in both rooms is good and I agree that the staff are friendly. Not much trouble there either and any scuffles that do break out are swiftly dealt with. Well done Storm/Madisons. Finally a corby venue getting things right.
• Storm is where its all about. They have recently had a new dj there on Saturday nights. Music policy seems much better now. A good mix of everything and he plays what you ask for unlike some arrogant dj's! here is a hint to all you DJ's out there play what us clubbers want or we will go elsewhere, lets see how long your job lasts when your place is empty. Anyway back to Storm, now they have a decent DJ (best in Corby i reckon), with decent tunes a good mix of house, electro, R and B, drum and bass and the odd bit of trance thrown in. Staff all friendly, sound system could with looking at, nowhere near enough bass for a nightclub!! But by far this is the best venue in Corby! Well worth a gander if you want a decent night out with reasonable drinks prices and did i mention free entry to Storm nightclub before midnight????
• The Everard Arms Acoustic Night Every 2nd Monday Checkout http://www.myspace.com/johnheadley for dates/times
• It's off to the white hart for a few, quick stop at post office cash point then on to the village, then a stroll over to madisons then obviously the infamous storm at 11 !
• Don't go out much now. However, I like Harpers brook. There is a new coffee bar/restaurant opening up the town called Cafe Mozart. If it plays classical music I'll be happy.
• white hart's good for live bands. it's quite near storm and the village inn as well. which has a dress code
• The Venue- over 25's only every Fri & Sat @ The Raven Hall. BEst of 60's 80's music with DJ's and Live Bands!

• You can't beat the white hart for a good pint and quality music,and theres no dickheads starting trouble either
• under 16s disco
• rebuild the venue
• Revolver is the only thing happening in this town.
• THE VILLAGE INN, TOP TOTTY
• One left , i think . Can't remember what it's called this week . The rest have been burned down.
• BIPS!! duhh, shfts, welfare club annd OMG exeter community club WOW
• since the great fire of occy rd (the welfare) i believe they are openung a new night club and naming it the after life. Strange thats what i thought most of the women who went there were in
• sorry to burst ut bubble every1 cus life is no more!! i think someone relly dont want it there cus thats the 2nd time. STORM aint 2 bad, cus im there :D
• Storm nightclub...............Otherwise known as Foreigner Central!
• i never enjoyed clubs in corby u have to go milton keynes to have half a night if not leicester colville is the best bet
• Corby clubs, pure cheese. What more can I say a great place to go if you want to be groped by a kosovan or west sided by a chav! dress code is either burberry caps and gold that turns your neck green or kosovan clobber greased with oil!!!!!

• The Open Hearth have a live bands every week
• bar code was ok gone now everywhere else is pants go leicster on the bus
• willows arts centre george street willow room lots of different bands hiring and promoting local bands
• For the Trendy's its Vision, Maddisons, Stars and Life and Storm.
• life pub/night club.the bouncers are being very heavy handed so be carefull,best bit is they are getting away with it.
• If you want a CHEESY night where they play the song superman go to storm.Though the best thing to do is get on the bus to leicster (go to mosh), or rail bus to Kettering (which ain't much better but at least there is the price of wales). Failing that just load up on drugs and watch the idiot box,
• raven... stars...
• LIFE: We were all looking 4ward 2 the old works/escape reopening as life but were sorely disappointed. Escape got 2 the pint of being quite good when it closed and I thought Life would be just as good, but no. It's a carbon copy of any jumped up studenty club you find in the likes of Northampton, Nottingham etc.. Boring!Now i'm all for change but a bit of originality please! And what's with the dress code? no t-shirts or ripped jeans? what's that all about? get with it you tw*ts, every designer shop around the country sell ripped jeans but they're too trampy for your poxy club? which is ran by questionable management and even more questionable bouncers. Which brings me to another point, no smoking or drinking on the dancefloor? sorry i thought i was in a nightclub (designated place for late night drinking and smoking)not the playground at school! we'll see how long these dodgy rules last and we'll see if the bouncers continue to be this strict. i won't even mention the decoration cuz i'd b here for ages. maybe it'll grow on me? or maybe i'll just go to a decent club outside of corby with a bit of originality a choice of rooms and some decent and well known djs. STARS: alright if you want to be groped by old men or harassed by asylum seekers. STORM: good on the old pulse, it started off sh*t but when it opened as storm (coupled with the demise of escape) it was actually alright for a domestic night out. winning combination of cheap drinks and multiple rooms (and the music's not bad either). MARTINES: tino's used to b wicked on a thursday and it's gettin good again, i wouldn't bother any other nite tho.
• Stars and Escape is the sort of place that fits well into an inbred town like Corby with its freakshow youth coupling to produce the spaz culture that makes corby the burnt out wheeley-bin of the world.
• stars is cool. cheesy music on fridays and as it seems golden oldies on saturdays. escape is soon 2 reopen "WOOHOO". new pub LIFE there 2. not bn in but looks nice from the outside. vision is a schoolkids club now. daz, ur losin it mate, not as gd as u used 2 b. and storm, LETS JUST NOT EVEN GO THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STORM SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• sound haus in northampton
• storm, vision, n stars,
• WELL BIT OF THE LINCOLN THEY HAVE THERE VERY OWN HALL WHICH THEY RENT CHEAP (NO ROOF) £10 A YEAR I THINK :s
• The rock is brill so is the shire, everybody knows everybody looks out for each other and the barmaids in the rock are wicked11 (ANGELA AND NATALIE)
• There is the willows theatre wich is great. Once a month ther's a rock gig with cover/tribute bands. But even better than that are the gigs at the raven.
• vision and pulse banging
• Escape currently closed due to an asbestos scare, Stars still open, and picking up again - witness some of the worst karaoke talent in the country. Storm is now on 3 floors which is pretty good, and open till 3am. Vision, well lets not go there. I went once recently and thought i'd walked in to junior disco night.
• ha ha bips what a joke
• you've got a choice of three, vision-full of fighting youths, storm-about the best at the moment, stars-over 25s yeah right! benn going there since i was 19, but its crap since they shut the other side (escape)
• storm but it can be a little borin if you go every week though.
• Storm is the best place to be, they can tell straight away if youa re old enough or not!
• Storm,Seymourz,Visi0n,Starz, Escape
• storm in corby is the best nightclub.Its small but its a good laff wiv ur mates although you could i could almost tell you wot song they r gonna play even before they play it cos they play the same set every week. Also if you wanna watch sum scenes from rocky then storm is the place cos there are more fights down there than n e thing else.
• Stars is alrite is you want to pick up a ganny and escape is full of people that shouldnt be allowed to vote! Storm is alrite but too many steps when your drunk. If you want a decent night out go out of town. We need more quailty clubs not more crap ones which are own by Lord Bip.
• starrs, stormin it
• the sanctuary rules forget escape,storm and silly excuse of a night club vision hardcore will never die,
• Storm. Because I'm yet to try out anywhere else.
• escape is where the remarkably young patrons go to have a good time! storm is really good especially the doorstaff who r friendly n cute!!
• ESCAPE, STARS ,VISON ,BAR CODE seymores
• Escape, the only decent club in the whole of Corby! Theres always storm too and vision but they dont compare. Escape is brilliant at times, i do admit you have to be pissed to have a good time but once your in there the atmosphere is wicked and as much as you wouldnt believe it in corby it is well friendly! All the girls have a right good natter in the toliets and borrow each others make-up and hairbush's. i recommend it to anyone visiting corby, go to escape for ok music and a good dance.
• ESCAPEis the bollocks. people can call it a shit hole but it is a good place to meet up wiv ur mates and get STEAMIN!!!! it doesnt matter where you are because you wont remember in the morning **
• You could go bips and have a fight, or maybe storm for some reason i cant at the moment fafom.
• channel 2 was cool for rockers, too many young idiots, open hearth used to be pretty descent foer live bands
• vision under 16z!
• i liked the venue always being able to sit and chat to frankie and sox on the seats in the foyer,miss you frank
• if u wana get glessed or buggered go to bips
• for the teenie boppers escape is the shit ! starz for the rest of corby
• morgans & vision & the works (not the crap like rafters in devon)
• The clubs in corby may not be much to look at but they are a good place to go and pull the lads!!!!!
• vision,escape,stars,morgans.........
• Bip owns all the main attractions, the best being Alton Towers ( Stars ) £5 to get in and all the scary rides are free. I have to say though, they are always full, if only by Remarkably young patrons mostly wanting to prove how hard they are.
• Vision and Escape, both good in different ways.
• GET A ROCK CLUB, NO NOT THE ONE ON MONDAYS AT BARCODE, I MEAN A PROPER FULL ON HEAVE FUCKIN' ROCK BAR, YOU'LL MAKE LOADS IN CORBY WITH ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Bips, Escapes whatever you call this place now. What an absolute shit hole. Full of closed minded , right wing industrialist rednecks. Right out of the trailer park!!! What a fucking shithole - about as bad as the City itself. "Wankers!!"
• The Time Tunnel, a.k.a. the road into Corby. Step back in time and visit the time tunnel, or why not sample our fizzy piss at the Time Has Stood Still bar. (dress code observed, Celtic tops, ginger fright wigs etc etc)
• Morgans, Madisons, Escape, Vision and some others that I have visited but can't remember there names once I have had a few there all good some times people can get carried away but thats just the drink.
• Pants. Mince and Gash. Whenever I come out of there, I feel overwhelmed and compelled with the urge to go to Ibiza and have it decidedly large. Also, to order a mince burger and throw up hoc all the way down Occupation stagerring into the middle of the road warbling on aboot the flour o' scotland, oor wullie, and wallaces betrayal by the english grommit ya bassa. Strange. Must be the Corby air. Ya bassa's!
• the village inn my dads pub (hehe) an morgan or madison which was fommally known as the pulse or la post!! names these days
• MADISONS MORGANS the old wine bar/pulse....just had a revamp..looks great, even got a members only vip lounge well impresive....OPEN Wed for Kids Disco 7pm-10pm..... Thurs 9.30-02am for House and Garage.,,,, Friday / Sat/ 10pm-02am.,,,Sun 10pm-01am..all VK Bottles are a £1
• Here's ur basic guide to Corby clubs. ESCAPE/STARS/H2O- Escape is definately the best club in town! The music is ok, a mix of cheesy pop and hard house hits from days gone by, such as children of the night ( a classic, dj flavours and many more.H2O is a more serious affair playing bangin house music blended wiv popular dance hits and balearic beats. stars is ok 4 the oldies I s'pose! VISION(AKA MARTINES) is the same old dive but with different wallpaper! Look out 4 the golden oldies, 14 year olds , tramps and druggies. MULLIGANS, MORGANS, MORRISONS, WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!! Haven't been yet but i'm sure it'll still b the tiny sweat box the Pulse always was. MY ADVICE- unless u r an escape regular and know EVERYONE, don't bother with anywhere else and go Passion.
• Morgans is now open..Hurrah!! It's about time there was somewhere other than that Flea pit on Occupation. The good thing is, it's too small to attract any trouble.
• THE OLD La-Poste / Pulse WILL BE AS FROM THE 09 NOV 10 THE ALL NEW AND IMPROVED MADISONS / MORGANS SO SHAKE UR BUTT DOWN TO WHERE ITS AT.......ROCKINGHAM RD, CORBY
• Escape is good when u have had a few too many ' I am the Corby Boy dont mess wiv me'
• Clubs for the under 15's then clubs for the over 18's unless ur in 1 of these u cannot go out!!! Unless u sneak about!!!! No gigs near here either!!
• Now there's a NEW club in CORBY! Well it certainly looks different - VISION is now what used to be known as Bip's in George Street.! Go there and go there NOW!!!! Ok thats all I have to say - oh yeh - its wicked! byeee
• Has to be The Embassy on a Thursday night, especially when the new romantic thing kicked in. Also a big mention to Bips when it was down the village.
• Bar Code, used to have an alternative nite, dont think it does nemore, the Raven/Game Bird has some alternative stuff (battle of the bands etc)
• DONT GO TO ESCAPE....THE BOUNCERS WILL KNOCK YOU ABOUT A BIT,,WELL A LOT ACTUALLY,, DO GO TO THE PULSE,,FRIENDLY STAFF,,GREAT ATMOS
• Escape, recently voted the UK´s 7th best Super Club, is going places.After a recent review by Boy George in "Muzik" (Feb 2001) magazine, plans are in place for Scott Bond (DJ/Owner of Gatecrasher, Sheffield) to promote his new Gay night "Ministry of Drag" twice monthly (Escape,1st and 3rd Fridays of the month).Price will be 10 pounds on the door and following acts include Lisa Lashes, Jeremy Healy, Boy George.
• The clubs in Corby are awful.These places are in a timewarp, they dont care about what people want, that its the year 2001.For instance Escape, the new superclub , what a joke. They think they can throw a lick a paint over the walls and bring in a couple of new chairs and we,ll be sold by it.Im a local DJ(thats a proper DJ) and tried to take a new underground trance sound to their manager and tell him that thousands of people are leaving Corby every week to find this type of dance scene. But unsurprisingly he wasn,t interested ,they only care about how many people are in and how much they drink. No wonder there is so much trouble in these places.You cant satisfy us with comercial dance crap,the rest of the world has moved on and were being left behind.SOS
• i personally think that the clubs in corby are not as good as they are made out to be! unless you have loads of drink and cannot remember the nite then it seems good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you really wanna go to a top club save your money and go passion in coalville!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• STARS - Scary!! (even for a kick-boxing ex-champion)Comes under various different names so be careful not to be duped. Very frightening, guarenteed fight fest. More Irn Bru based Alco pops here than ANYWHERE in the world. Plenty of taxis tho' for a quick escape!!
• Escape:- ocupation road, the pulse, bips
• Hello Corby, I have been up to Corby for the first time in two years and was well impressed with Escape, what a difference to the Corby Night life scene. London clubs are good, but Escape is the the best in the area.
• Escape is meggaaaaa, best yet in Corby.
• Escape is worth checking out, it's the first time real money has been spent on a nightclub in Corby, with a decent sound system.
• SHAFTS.
• The Pulse---better than Bips!!
• Bip's (MArtines) is actually, I think, one of the best nite clubs around - not that there's many in corby! It is always extremely busy and after a few cheap drinks downstairs in page three you can get up stairs (on a friday) for three pound instead of five! If you are looking for a great night out you should definately stay in the town and start the night off with page three then venture upstairs to Bips to party on until the early house of the morning!!!
• THE CLUBS ARE GETTING BETTER, THERE ARE ATLEAST FIVE NIGHT CLUBS SO THERE IS ABIT OF VARIETY, THE PULSE IS ITS NEWEST ADDITION, ITS ALRIGHT, ALTHOUGH IT IS ABIT SMALL CAN'T REALLY WALK AROUND SO I FOUND THAT I SPENT MORE MONEY ON DRINKS, THATS NOT A BAD THING THOUGH.
• Bips Nightclub is now in the town centre George St.
• Friday night is a great night out at the new BIPS, George St Corby, get there, drink, dance, party, and wow what a hangover on Saturday, but never mind, one week to recover till next weeks crazy party happenings.
• Martines is no longer, It`s now BIPS Nightspot, worth checking out especially on Friday Nights, look out for Ian Lapsley, Great DJ with a supberb variety of music The Club is now Run by Glen & Tamala Wetherell.
• The Works (better known as Bips)is OK,the DJs good and so is the music played. 'The Pulse' which has just openned on 5/12/98 is surpose to be good. 'Martins' which is small.
• The best club in Corby used to be 'Bips' about 4 years ago - it's now been refurbished and is known as 'The Works' - it's okay but attracts quite a lot of kids.
  Point of information -- it was the "Works" many years ago... long before Bip (who happens to be a good friend of my brother and ex-sister-in-law).
• Most older people (21 upwards) go to 'Martines' which is a bit tackey but a good laugh if you've had quite a few drinks. <
• The Corby clubs are crap. The Works is rough and nasty, Martines is not much better. Anywhere else isn't worth even touching. Better off going to Reflections in Kettering.
• Okay now we have it....once a month Red Eye promotions from the town hold a mega Dance Night. This features locals DJ's and is the latest opening club in the town. Till 3 am. MUST BE CHECKED OU.....Call the Festival Hall box office on 01536 402233 to find out when the next one is. There is also Bips and Martines if you want to stick to the floor or hang about with kids.
• Bips and Martines. Dire places. However, when you do stumble into a blinding night at either club, and this has happened to me a few times, the sense of gratefullness and well being derived seems to make up for the years of sensory abuse they have imparted on me. Also, the problems with going to these clubs only seems to arrive upon leaving the establishment. The Riot vans in the road outside are purely decorational. When the action kicks off, which it usually does, these cardboard coppers seem loathe to acknowledge the fights let alone do anything about them. So upon leaving a Corby club, RUN to a TAXI, or just RUN. The violence is as random as D-Day. Your best definitely is Reflections, Kettering. Or Coalville ( can't remember the name of the club but it gets proper Dj's like dead Tony DeVit).
