In 1994, Terry Francis & Nathan Coles set up the consistently brilliant techno night "Wiggle". Voted second in Muzik's Clubs of 1997, Wiggle has sold out every night since it started. Wiggle has played host to some of the best in underground music, including Ritchie Hawtin, "Evil" Eddie Richards, Dave Mothersole, to name a few.
