Do You Remember...DANCING AT THE (AULA) DISCO ON A SATURDAY NIGHT?

The Aula Maxima in the Quadangle UCG was a popular disco venue for students on Friday and Saturday nights during the 1970s and much of the 1980s. 
It was a high octane dance venue with no alcohol on sale. Even in an era of nightclubs and bars, that did not deter the place from being mobbed. 

On one side of the hall, there was located a 'mineral bar'; on the other side was the cloakroom. 


DJs at the time included the K-Tel Kids, Harry O'Beirne, 'Nervous Rex' (Terry Monaghan & Derrick, later of the Stunning) and the brilliant 'Big G' (aka Gerry Sexton).
The Big G disco makes a welcome return to the campus next month for the Reunion on November 30th.
