Talk Nightclub, Southend on Sea
Now known as Talk Nightclub, this club has been known by several names over the past few years including TOTS 2000 and Talk Of The South.
Open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights Talk offers a reasonable range of nights out depending on what you are looking for! Including frequent theme nights usually run on a Thursday nights, which have included Tarts and Vicars, Doctors and Nurses and a 999 Uniform Night! With a capacity to hold up to 1300 people you are sure to find plenty of people out for a good time.
Thursday;s
On a Thursday you will find a night more commonly known as Honeytrap! With resident DJ’s Greg Barker and Marky T you can be sure of having a great night. With all drinks £1.50 before midnight its a great cheap night out too. Admission is really reasonable to, if you decide to go on one of there theme nights and you dress and take part in the theme you get in free, but if not admission for non members is £2.00 before 10pm and £4.00 after 10pm and for members it is free before 10pm and then £3.00 after. The best thing about going to Talk on a Thursday is especially if you know that you are going in advance go onto there website and send a Talk SMS Party Invitation which means you and 20 friends who you choose to invite can gain free entry to the club before 10pm and recieve a voucher to redeem for a free bottle of champagne from the DJ stand at midnight. Though I will admit it doesnt taste that great it does the job!
Friday’s
More commonly known as Lets Get Horny! With resident DJ’s Scott ‘Angry’ Anderson & Steve Cochrane you will get a good mix of funky house, some club classics in with a mix of r’n’b. On a Friday night you will find that Smirnoff Ice and Budweiser are on offer at £1.50 a bottle before 11pm. Admission is slightly more expensive on a Friday night with non members paying £3.00 before 10pm, £6.00 between 10pm and 11pm and £7 after 11pm. Members prices are again slightly cheaper, members can get access free before 10.30pm, £5.00 between 10.30pm and 11pm and £6 after 11pm. You often find on Friday nights the Djs give away plenty of freebies including free drinks and sets of red fluffy devil horns!
Saturday’s
Saturdays is Sugar night at Talk! With DJ’s always varying depending on which guest DJ’s they bring in. On a Saturday night the only drinks promotion that is on is for members who will recieve 50% off all there drinks except for champagne all night! So its well worth becoming a member!!! You can expect to find a mixture of Dance Floor Anthems, R’n’B, Funky House and Club Classics. Again entry prices are quite reasonable and the most a non paying member will pay is £5.00.
Sundays
Talk is also open on the Sunday before all Bank Holiday Monday’s the prices, DJ’s and styles of music depend on what they have arranged for that weekend, but its always a good night out and well worth a visit if your passing!
Membership
It is really easy to become a member all you need to do is go to there website
and print an application form fill it in and take it with you the next time you go along with some identification. Every time you go to Talk your card will be swiped upon entry and they add points depending on what time you enter the club.
Before 10pm 500 points will be added, between 10pm and 10.30pm 200 points will be added, and between 10.30 and 11pm 100 points will be addded.
When you have reached 1500 points you will automatically be given a voucher which you can exchange for either a free bottle of Smirnoff Ice or Budweiser or 1 non-​alcoholic drink.
Prices
Prices for entry vary depending on what is going on that particular night but in general its not expensive to get in. Drinks are also pretty cheap until the clock strikes 12! Then the prices pretty much double what normal pub prices would be so its best to drink what you can before midnight. They also hold regular drink promotions with certain drinks normally Smirnoff Ice and Budweiser a lot cheaper than what they would normally be, with some nights all drinks being on offer.
Location
Talk is set in central Southend just off the highstreet and at the back of the seafront, in Lucy Road. It is accessable by car, close to local bus routes and nearby to both of Southend’s train stations, as well as having a local taxi rank nearby. It would be advisable to book a taxi for when you intend on coming out of the club as demand for them is very high as at 2am there are no buses or trains running.
