Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week I sit down with Michael Delany — the creative force behind some of Melbourne’s most iconic and culture-defining venues including Honkytonks, Sorry Grandma, La Di Da, Bottom End, Survivor and Poof Doof.
From shaping the golden era of Melbourne nightlife to creating venues that became institutions of music, fashion and chaos, Michael opens up on the stories behind the clubs, the risks, the creativity and what really made Melbourne one of the greatest nightlife cities in the world.
We dive into the evolution of club culture, wild behind-the-scenes stories, building venues that actually had soul, and how nightlife has changed from the underground era to today. If you lived through Melbourne clubbing in the 2000s and 2010s — this episode is pure nostalgia.
