Vague Leeds 1993

Vague was a regular night at The Warehouse nightclub in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, from 1993 to 1996. It was originated by Suzy Mason and Paul Fryer (former lead-singer with Yorkshire based Eighties electro pop outfit Bazooka Joe), in association with Nick Raphael, as the former High Flyers club in Leeds on 10 April 1993, moving to The Warehouse a month later. Resident DJs over the years included Fryer and Raphael as "TWA" (variously styled as "Trannies With Attitude" or "The World is Androgynous"), Phil Faversham, Curtis Zack and Anne Savage.

The club was credited as being the first in the UK to advertise itself as "mixed" - i.e. for heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual patrons equally - although vetting of customers on the door was notoriously strict. Once inside, the atmosphere inside was one of tolerance, hedonism, and sexuality. It played a mixture of handbag house, hard house and hard trance music, with a more eclectic selection of music upstairs. TWA's self-description was "techno disco" or "tesko" (for legal reasons).

The night ended after Vague celebrated its third birthday at the Warehouse on 14 September 1996. Soon afterwards, Mason and Kas Shaw started a similar mixed night - styled as "I-Spy" - at the larger Club NATO in Leeds city centre, before transferring it to the Warehouse on 12 April 1997. Soon afterwards it was renamed "Speed Queen," which continues to the present day.
