Ayr nightclub photographer opens archives to the glory days of Madisons

A nightclub photographer has taken a walk down memory lane by digging out some of his vintage snaps.

Eric Ho, the famous man behind the lens in Ayr's Madisons during its peak, captured literally thousands of revellers on the popular dancefloor.

Now he's blown the cobwebs off some of his images from more than a decade ago - revealing a time when the town's nightlife boomed.

Eric, who was club snapper at Madisons between 2005-2011, took to Facebook this week to share some of his old pictures.

And the response has been huge with clubbers casting a hazy look back to the glory days.

Eric, who is still to be found snapping away in Furys and Vinyl, revealed: "It's so funny looking back at these times.

"Back then, Madisons was pretty much rammed every night and it was a great time to be working there.

"But it was Wednesdays that the club was really known for.

"The 80s and 90s nights became so popular and it was definitely the night in town at that point.

"As the photographer it was my job to get all the photos each night - folk either loved the camera or ran away from you!

"Then I had to upload all the pictures to the club's Bebo page...which sounds so funny now."
