Excellent news – the legendary Platinum Lounge is open again this weekend. This is whilst the recent licence issues are “pending”. Hopefully we’ll see the Lounge resurrected to its former glory and status as a beacon of light in glum old Chester.
To celebrate, here’s a playlist I’ve collated on my visits to the establishment. Obviously, this list isn’t exhaustive – I don’t know or own every song played in Platinum Lounge. These are just the ones I have a copy of, and can remember. After all, I usually have a couple of polite drinkies when I’m there.
This is a soundtrack for some great nights, great music and great company. Maybe it will help convince people that Platinum Lounge is nothing to be afraid of.
