Cream
Cream kicked off in October 1992 at Nation on Wolstenholme Square in Liverpool, the old Snobs. It was put together by James Barton, Darren Hughes and Andy Carroll, and it turned into one of the biggest house nights in the world.
Steve Lawler and Yousef were among the residents, and the Saturday nights at Nation were what put Liverpool on the clubbing map in the 90s.
The weekly night finished in June 2002 after nearly ten years, but Cream didn’t stop. Creamfields, the festival, still takes over Daresbury in Cheshire every August, and there’s been a Thursday residency at Amnesia in Ibiza too. Nation itself was knocked down in 2016 when the area was redeveloped.
