Glasgow DJ launches Derry Girls club night with 90s hits, tuck shop and early finish

While we're still nursing a broken heart over Derry Girls finishing for good, we think we're just about ready to celebrate all the good times the show brought us over the years.

And luckily, there's a club night planned to do just that.

DJ Gerry Lyons has taken it upon himself to create the Derry Girls club night that won't only play all the best songs from the show but finish early enough to get you home with your choice of a takeaway before midnight.

Attendees are encouraged to dress up as their favourite character for the chance to win the best outfit prize and get practising their 'Rock the Boat' routine.

Gerry told Glasgow Live: "While watching the show I was reminded of how many great songs and genres we had at that time. Arguably, it's the last great era of music. From Vengaboys to The Prodigy, Spice Girls to Fatboy Slim. The show's soundtrack had everything.

"Then I had a thought - what about doing an early club night for people of a 'certain age' who remember these songs from the first time round?

"If you were clubbing in Glasgow in the 90s or 00s, there's a good chance I was your DJ. One of the benefits of this night is that I don't have to buy any new records - I played all of these back in the day.

"The event starts at 7.30pm and finishes at 11.30pm so you have time to get your chips 'n' cheese, train/bus home and won't be left stranded in the city waiting for a taxi for ages.

"The past few years have been difficult for everyone and I'm hoping this night will be just the medicine needed to escape what's going on in the world.

"Time to dig out your school uniform, double denim and bangin' outfits from the 90's."

Gerry Girls will be taking place at The Admiral Bar on Friday August 5.
