Are ye Dancin? - When big club money came to a small Island disco in the 1990s

He may not yet have been a Hollywood star, but Australian actor Guy Pearce was already a household name in UK thanks to his appearance in both hit Aussie soaps of the era – Neighbours and Home and Away - when he arrived at Twilights, the Outer Hebrides’ hippest nightspot as part of a promotional tour.

The club’s two legendary doorwomen, Joan ‘Soapy’ Macphail and Helen Porter, were dispatched to the island’s airport to pick up the bemused young actor and chaperone him to the club ahead of his evening appearance.

Helen remembers the muted grey uniform both she and Joan sported as they waited for the flight to arrive at Stornoway Airport.

"We looked more like something out of Prisoner Cell Block H, rather than Neighbours,” she jokes.

"That night was wild, the kids swarmed past us like sheep in a fank, there was nothing we could do, the place was absolutely heaving...so we said never again.”

But those who did get past Joan and Helen were few and far between. The two women ran the door of Stornoway’s busiest club in an annexe of the Seaforth Hotel throughout the 1990s with a firm hand.

And with teenage families of their own, they were not only able to deal with snash, but could spot a chancer at a mile, even in the days before photo ID.
