Going out. It’s important. The very reason why Skiddle was founded was to unite people that love events. If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that going out gives us normality, a chance to let go and connect with our community. But is it more than that?

S2 Ep6 - Bez

Monday Mar 29, 2021
We welcome UK rave scene legend, Bez, to The Going Out Podcast.
We started the conversation by talking about Bez’s first going out experience in his local area of Walkden and jumping between rooms at Pembroke Halls, listening to all genres from disco to northern soul.
We chatted about what it was like for Bez going out during Madchester, the first time he got on stage as a Happy Monday and sharing hotel rooms with Guns N’ Roses.
Bez lets us know how he’s found the lockdowns spending time with friends and family, the reason behind new projects such as Buzzin with Bez and his latest venture into horseracing called “Bez’s Racing Club”.

S2 Ep3 - Serra Petale (Los Bitchos)

The Going Out Podcast continues this week with Serra Petale, one-quarter of the psychedelic meets Cumbia band, Los Bitchos - think, ‘Sims, Elevator, Caribbean Cruise’ vibes…
Originally from Perth, we chatted about Serra’s first going out experiences in Australia - we’re talking 45-degree festivals and life as an Aussie fresher - then we dove into life in her current residence, London Town. We found out Serra’s ideal night (no spoilers here) and what going out in life is like on the road (again, no spoilers).
This episode is filled with so many great stories from touring with Mac Demarco to the formation of the group. We left nothing untouched in this conversation, from musicals to gluten-free beer. We covered it all and one thing is for sure, being in a girl band is everything that we dreamed of.
By the end of the conversation we wanted to adopt Serra as a fellow Mancunian, mainly for her love of the city and respected fangirling nature for YES bar in Manchester, the perfect night you could say, with the music space (aka the PINK room) sandwiched in between two bar floors. What more could you ask for?

S1 Ep2 - Cheddar Gorgeous

Drag is much more than what we learn through Ru Paul. Cheddar Gorgeous joins our open conversation about going out experiences and we come to the conclusion that there’s a host of responsibility that comes along with a night out. Cheddar Gorgeous explains, through her own experiences, the importance of community in night life spaces and how the queer community in Birmingham created a trusting space, so that she could be herself and learn from the mentors around her. It allowed us to view clubs in a new light, wish more would follow suit and offer to support the next generation - as a safe and supportive environment sounds ideal for anyone’s first going out experiences.
Through this conversation, we were reminded that the best nights out happen when you’re part of the bigger picture. The club doesn’t take you as an afterthought, you’re not on the sidelines watching the event take place - they put you at the centre of it all, you’re the star, your adventure with your pals is all that matters. We share some of our favourite club experiences that set the bar this high.
This nostalgic episode is surely going to make you miss those first night’s out, when you thought you knew everything about the world, but looking back you knew so little compared to now. This episode will also have you itching to get back on those dance floors and never take the opportunity to dance with your friends for granted again.
