Scratch was the brainchild of Matt Myatt and partner Rob Mac. It started life on the 6th of June 1996 in a small venue called ‘The Crossbar ‘in Kings Cross. Word soon spread about the night like wildfire and it outgrew its venue, later moving a couple of doors up the road to the newly refurbished ‘Scala’. It regularly had queue’s going round the block and was voted in the top 5 club nights of the millennium by ‘Timeout’ magazine, London.
