One
that
sticks
in
me
head
is
we’d
came
out
there
one
night
and
the
convoy
headed
off.
We
drove
along
Shad
Road
past
the
bus
and
we turned
left
which
is
3
minutes
away
from
the
pub
and
it
was
in
a
in
a
unit
right
behind
the
baths…
Brand
new
unit…
And
in
the
middle
of
the
unit
was
a
JCB…
the
party
decks
were
on
top
of
the
offices
in
the
corner
and
the
JCB
was
the
centrepiece
for
the
for
everyone
to
dance
on
and
dance
around,
that
was
another
one
that
sticks
in
my
head
a
lot.
You
know,
if
you
take
it
to
what
the
biggest
party
ever…
was…
was
the
one
at
Altham
there
must
have
been
10000
people
there,
a
lot
of
memorable
things
happened
at
that.
I
found
the
funniest
and
I’ve
never
really
recounted
and
I’ve
never
told
anybody
much…
there’s
not
many
people
heard
the
story
or
know
the
story
but
we
add a
do
up
in
a
warehouse
at
the
back
of
Oswaldtwistle
…
And
we
thought
was
an
empty
warehouse
and
it wer’ the
warehouse
was
empty,
but
the
offices
upstairs
were
used
as
a
training
center.
So
when
wer’
kicked
off
the
party,
we
inevitably
ended
up
upstairs
in
these
offices
now,
it
was
one
of
the
biggest
parties
when
wer;
when
we
first
started
really
getting
1000s
there
and
by
that
time
the
Manc’s
had
got
involved.
as
security.
Now
for
me
that
was
a
good
thing
because
wer’
set
off
a
lot
of
parties
and
what
had
Blackburn
doormen
who
would
just
fill
up
their
pockets
and
we
had
crowds
that
were
all
trying
to
get
through
a
doorway
in
a wall
being
squeezed
where
50
people
are
trying
to
get
through
the
door.
When
the
Manc’s
turned
up.
They
had
everyone
under
orders
…
and
people
queued
up
like
the
get
in
The
Cav.
So
my job
at
that
party
was
to
go
to
the
door
with
2
of
these
Manc’s
and
collect
the
money.
Yeah.
No,
that
was
what…
that
was
just
about
the
start
when
the
parties
started
producing
…
large
amounts
of
money
rather
than
pocket
money.
Now.
everybody
talked
…
…
The
Manc’s
are
going
to
turn
up
and
rob
you
everyone…
told
wer’ that…
everyone
said
you’re
not
going
to
get
outta
there
with
any
money.
The
Manc’s
are
going
to
rob
you
so
we
had
a
system
where
I
would
go
to
the
door.
With
a
big
bin
bag
and
the
lads
on
the
door
would
tip
the
money
into
the
bin
bag
that
I
was
carrying
with
these
2
minders
and
would
take
the
money
up
to
the
office.
we
were
sat
…
round
this
big
round
table
and
somebody
had
rifled
through
some
cupboards
and
then
found
some
pink
marigold
…
gloves.
So
you
had
a
lot
of
money…
Manchester
gangsters
and
the
load
of
us
who
were
all
paranoid
about
leaving
fingerprints.
So
there
was
10
or
15
people
sat
around
this
table
with
pink
marigold
gloves
on…
counting
the
money.
Yeah
so
I’d
go in
and
I
tip
the
money
on
the
table
and
would
head
off
because
we
had
2
or
3
doors
open
and
I’d
come
back
and
tip
it
back
onto
the
table
an’
they
were
all
sitting
counting
this
money
and
it
was
put
in
a
box
and
the
money
disappeared
with
one
of
our
lads.
It
was…
the
money
wasn’t
for
sharing
about
the
money
was
for
investing
in
the
next
party
an
investing
in
the
thing.
Not
many
people
were
making
money
out
of
the
job.
People
were
getting
what
they
needed
for
their
expenses,
but
it
wasn’t
like
this
is
why
we’re
doing
it
but
the
funny
bit
for
me
was
all
these
gangsters
sat
around
with
these
marigold
gloves
and
as
it
turned
out
the
Manc’s
didn’t
rob
wer’
It was
a
little
while
after
that,
that
we
had the
really
big
one
at
Altham.
…
On
that
brand
new
estate
and
it
was
a
massive
warehouse
and
was
loads
of
policemen
outside
of
that
one
trying
to
stop
it.
But
there
again,
it
was
all
the
gangsters
sat
around
countin’
told
again,
we
wouldn’t
get
out
the
place
with
the
money.
And
somebody
escaped
…
with
it
in
the
boot
of
a
car
and
these
are
the
type
of
things
that
sticks
in
my
head.
But
that
party
as
the
sun
came
up.
We
had
all
the
roller
…
shutter
….
doors
up
and
the
sun
came
up
and
the
light
came
in
and
it
was
one
of
the
most
magical
experiences
I’ve
ever
had.
Another
one

the
one
where
it’s…
the

of

A

New

Can
we

off

My
first
memories
was
a
shop
on
Devenport
Road.
That
was
the
first
thing
I
ever
turned
up
at
and
I
don’t
know
how
we
got
wer’
shop or
how
we
got
wer’
venue,
but
it
was
actually
the
very
first
time
I
ever
went
to
what
you
would
class
as
an
Acid
House
party
and
there
may
have
been
30
or
40
people
there
and
it
was
a
large
amount
of
fun.
They
all
started
very
…in
small
gaffs.
Another
one
that
stands
out
right
in
the
beginning
was
the
Bubble
Factory.
Yeah.
Well
the
Bubble
Factory
was
fantastic.
It
was
when
I
started
to
think.
Oh,
we’ve
got
something
going
on
here,
you
know
because
you
didn’t
know
whether
the
first
one
was
just
going
to
be
that
or..
what
it
was.
It
was
the
first
time
that
I
realised
that
people
were
very
much
together
would
will
call
them
tree-huggers.
I
remember
f***ing
going
up
wer’
Cav.
You
never
met
with
many
smiles
and
you
were
met
with
a
lot
of
people
who
were
horrible
and
I
remember
the
Bubble
Factory
everybody
cuddled
each
other.
I
remember
police
turning
up
an’
they
weren’t
happy,
but
we
didn’t
stop
and
we
didn’t
leave
and
that
was
the…
the
first
one
where
I
thought
wow,
you
know
this
this
is
something
that
I
want
to
be
involved
in.
So
my
initial
involvement
when
the
party
started
was
when
we
were…
when
we
had
the
Sett
End
I
would
lead
the
convoy
to
the
party.
I
would…
I
had
a
black
3 litre
Capri
at
the
time
and
everybody
got
to
know
the
black
3 litre
Capri,
and
we would
head
off
from…
from
The
Sett
End
into
various
places
wherever
there
were…
Another
great
party
was…
and
this
sticks
in
the
and this
was
the
one
at
the
bottom
of
Philips
Road
was
it?
Northgate?
Or
..
North…
North
Road
building
the
North
Road
building.
I
remember
the
police
had
stopped…
a car
or
van
with
the
records
in…
and
met
in
Tony
went
and
found
some
records..
went
back
up.
The
Sett
End
got
a
box
of
records
and
I
remember
running
down
the
railway
track
and
climbing
through
a
window
into
the
North
Road
building.
Where…
another
big
memory
is
that
the
police
had
managed
to
turn
the
electric
off
for
that
one.
And they
thought
it
was
a
great
success
of
doing
so
and
plugged
into
the
next
door’s
electric
and
kicked
it
back
up
again.
That’s
that’s
another
one
that’s
stuck
in
me
head.
That
wasn’t
really
right
at
the
beginning
but
it’s
one
of
the
ones
that
sticks
in
me’
head
because
it
might
not
have
happened
and
it
did
happen.
Well
the
most
memorable
up side
…
it
was
people
who
you’d
consider
not
to
be
friendly
became
tree
huggers.
They
would
all
cuddle
each
other.
They
were
all
happy
it
was
not
a
sign
of
any
violence
and
when
Dave
and
John
got
involved
it
was
John
who
actually
got
with
into
The
Sett
End
We
were
looking
for
a
home
to
base
ourselves
at
…
and
John
knew
the
landlord…
and
the
landlord
was
an
English
guy
called
Billy
and
Billy
was
up
for
it.
Billy
was
a
hungry
little
bastard.
He
was
more
interested
in
money
than
the
music
in
the
doin’
but
between
the
2
of
them
was
why
we
managed
to
get
The
Sett
End
in
The
Sett
End
went
on
for
4
years
and
it
was
great
on
a
Saturday.
Everyone
would
congregate
outside
not
everyone
could
get
in
there,
but
the
convoy
would
inevitably
start
off
from
there.
Sett
End
was
a
great
joy.
It
wasn’t
a
very
big
venue.
So
you
had
a
lot
of
people
who
stood
at
the
door
and
we
had to
actually
limit
people
in
and
people
out
you
know,
because
it
would
have
been
very
dangerous
if
we
hadn’t
of
you
know…
There was
always
more
people
in
than
what
you
wanted.
But
little
Shack
was
the
DJ
for
the
party
little
Shack
was
the
kid
that
got
the
new
tunes
little
Shack
was
the man
that
organised
and
let
other
DJs
play
but
he
and
his
knowledge
of
music
was
just
fantastic
and
when
a
new
song
turned
up
and
we’ve
all
got
wer’
favourites…
it
was
the
music.
What
it
all
led
to
was this
massive
party
at
the
top
of
Gib
Lane
called
Live
the
Dream
where
somehow
we
managed
to
get
these
2
massive
tents
in
a
field
and
after
much….
coming
and
going
and
thrishing
n
thrashing
and
wagons
getting
stuck
at
the
gate
and
the
diesel
tank
that
was
on
the
back
of
the
wagon
when
he
came
through
tipped
over
and
fell
off
and
somehow
we
managed
to
pull
that
off
in
that
was
just
magical.
The
farmer
who
rented
us
the
field,
we
paid
his
expenses
for
him
to
do
one
for
the
weekend
because
if
they
couldn’t
find
him
the
couldn’t
serve
an
injunction…
if
they
coulda
…
served
an
injunction
on
him.
Thats
party
would
have
never
took
place
because
they
knew
Somethin
something
brewin.’
We were
selling
the
tickets,
but
they
couldn’t
find
where
that
party
was
gonna
be…
and
the
party
was
eventually
there
but
it
wasn’t
meant
to
be
there.
It was
gonna
….
be
somewhere
else
but
the
found
it
served
an
injunction
on
a
farmer
and
we
found
that
one
the
week
before
the
party
took
place…
and
the
farmer
was
a
lovely
guy
when
eventually…
they…
they…
I
got
prosecuted
because
my
name
was
on
for
selling
tickets.
He
was
obviously
the
farmer
that
owned
the
land
so
we
ended
up
in
Clitheroe
….
Magistrate’s
Court
and
then
eventually
in Preston
Crown
Court
charged
with
doing
a
party
an
whatever…
they
called
it
legal
illegal
gatherings
and
all
that…
and
I
felt
really
sorry
for
the
guy
cause
he
had
no
idea
the
s***
we was
going
to
put
them
in.
From
being
a
straight
headed
little
farmer
to…
all
of
a
certain…
Was
anyone…
was
anyone
charged?
Yeah,
I
was.
I
was.
I
was
charged.
I
got
a
suspended
sentence
and
he
got
a
suspended
sentence
and
we
both
got
charged
and
there
was
various
people
there.
….
And
that
was,
that
was
for
Live
The
Dream
aye
that
was
for
Live
The
Dream.
One
of
the
other
things
that
mean
let
me…
add
this one.
We’re
having
a
party.
And
I
can’t
quite
remember
where
the
party
was
at,
but
it
was
Christmas
or
Christmas
Eve
and
the
police
stopped
the
van
with
wer’
system
in.
We
had
another
van
with
another
system
in
ready
to
go
on.
We’ll
run
that
there
but
we
did
not
have
a
generator.
Drove
where
there
was
a
firm
that…
a plant
hire
firm
and stole
a
generator
and
drove
it
to
the
party
just
to
get
the
f******
party
up
and
going.
N’
that
happened…
without
that
we
had
no
generator..
it wouldn’ta
happened….
But
it
was…
things
need
to
be
done.
Things
will
be
done.
One
that
sticks
in
me
head
is
we’d
came
out
there
one
night
and
the
convoy
headed
off.
We
drove
along
Shad
Road
past
the
bus
and
we turned
left
which
is
3
minutes
away
from
the
pub
and
it
was
in
a
in
a
unit
right
behind
the
baths…
Brand
new
unit.
And
in
the
middle
of
the
unit
was
a
JCB…
the
party
decks
were
on
top
of
the
offices
in
the
corner
and
the
JCB
was
the
centrepiece
for
the
for
everyone
to
dance
on
and
dance
around,
that
was
another
one
that
sticks
in
my
head
a
lot.
You
know,
if
you
take
it
to
what
the
biggest
party
ever…
was…
was
the
one
at
Altham
….
there
must
have
been
10000
people
there,
a
lot
of
memorable
things
happened
at
that.
I
found
the
funniest
and
I’ve
never
really
recounted
and
I’ve
never
told
anybody
much…
there’s
not
many
people
heard
the
story
or
know
the
story
but
we
add a
do
up
in
a
warehouse
at
the
back
of
Oswaldtwistle
And
we
thought
was
an
empty
warehouse
and
it wer’ the
warehouse
was
empty,
but
the
offices
upstairs
were
used
as
a
training
center.
So
when
wer’
kicked
off
the
party,
we
inevitably
ended
up
upstairs
in
these
offices
now,
it
was
one
of
the
biggest
parties
when
were
when
we
first
started
really
getting
1000s
there
and
by
that
time
the
Manc’s
had
got
involved.
as
security.
Now
for
me
that
was
a
good
thing
because
wer’
set
off
a
lot
of
parties
and
what
had
Blackburn
doormen
who
would
just
fill
up
their
pockets
and
we
had
crowds
that
were
all
trying
to
get
through
a
doorway
in
a wall
being
squeezed
where
50
people
are
trying
to
get
through
the
door.
When
the
Manc’s
turned
up.
They
had
everyone
…
under
orders
and
people
queued
up
like
the
get
in
The
Cav.
So
my job
at
that
party
was
to
go
to
the
door
with
2
of
these
Manc’s
and
collect
the
money.
Yeah.
No,
that
was
what…
that
was
just
about
the
start
when
the
parties
started
producing
…
large
amounts
of
money
rather
than
pocket
money.
Now.
everybody
talked
…
…
The
Manc’s
are
going
to
turn
up
and
rob
you
everyone…
told
wer’ that…
everyone
said
you’re
not
going
to
get
outta
there
with
any
money.
The
Manc’s
are
going
to
rob
you
so
we
had
a
system
where
I
would
go
to
the
door
with
a
big
bin
bag
and
the
lads
on
the
door
would
tip
the
money
into
the
bin
bag
that
I
was
carrying
with
these
2
minders
and
would
take
the
money
up
to
the
office.
Well
we
were
sat
round
this
big
round
table
and
somebody
had
rifled
through
some
cupboards
and
then
found
some
pink
marigold
gloves.
So
you
had
a
lot
of
money…
Manchester
gangsters
and
a
load
of
us
who
were
all
paranoid
about
leaving
fingerprints.
So
there
was
10
or
15
people
sat
around
this
table
with
pink
marigold
gloves
on…
counting
the
money.
Yeah
so
I’d
go
in
and
I’ll
tip
the
money
on
the
table
and
would
head
off
because
we
had
2
or
3
doors
open
and
I’d
come
back
and
tip
it
back
onto
the
table
an’
they
were
all
sitting
counting
this
money
and
it
was
put
in
a
box
and
the
money
disappeared
with
one
of
our
lads.
It
was…
the
money
wasn’t
for
sharing
about
the
money
was
for
investing
in
the
next
party
an
investing
in
the
thing.
Not
many
people
were
making
money
out
of
the
job.
People
were
getting
what
they
needed
for
their
expenses,
but
it
wasn’t
like
this
is
why
we’re
doing
it
but
the
funny
bit
for
me
was
all
these
gangsters
sat
around
with
these
marigold
gloves
and
as
it
turned
out
the
Manc’s
didn’t
rob
wer’
It
was
a
little
while
after
that,
that
we
had the
really
big
one
at
Altham.
…
On
that
brand
new
estate
and
it
was
a
massive
warehouse
and
there
was
loads
of
policemen
outside
of
that
one
trying
to
stop
it.
But
there
again,
it
was
all
the
gangsters
sat
around
countin’
told
again,
we
wouldn’t
get
out
the
place
with
the
money.
And
somebody
escaped
…
with
it
in
the
boot
of
a
car
and
these
are
the
type
of
things
that
sticks
in
my
head.
But
that
party
as
the
sun
came
up.
We
had
all
the
roller
….
shutter
….
doors
up
and
the
sun
came
up
and
the
light
came
in
and
it
was
one
of
the
most
magical
experiences
I’ve
ever
had.
Another
one
is
the
one
where
it’s…
the
most
camera
footage
ah’ve
seen
of
any
party
was
unit 7
…..
Haslingden.
A Manchester
band
turned
up….
what
were
they
called?
New
Order
turned
up
and
they
said
New
Order’s
here.
Can
we
come
up
to
the
offices
upstairs?
One of us
went
out
and told them
to
f***
off
their
out
of
order!
And…
but
eventually
did…
they
did
come
up,
you
know,
but
that
was
one
of
the
parties.
But
I
do
remember
when
it…
when
it
came
wev’
an
end
it
came
of
an
end
very
abruptly.
Very
quickly
when
they’re…
cos’
people
said
how
long
do
you
think
we’re
gonna
…
…
get
away
with
this?
Well,
you
have
to
be
real
about
these
things
and
there
was
a
lot
of
people
selling
a
lot
of
drugs.
I
mean
one
of
the
big
things
about
the
parties
was
the
ecstasy…
ecstasy
was
one
of
the
things
that
brought
a
lot
of
people
together,
totally
harmless…
harmless
drug
in
in
my mind
until
the
they
stopped
being
…
ecstasy
and
people
were
making who
know
what
they
were
calling
ecstasy…
and
the
gangsters
had
got
involved
by
then
and
it
wasn’t…
it
was
downers
as
rather
than
not
uppers
…
You
have
to
mention
the
fact
that
a
big
part
of
the
parties
was
the
Ecstasy.
And
I
took
em
loved
it.
I
was
a
Geordie
who
stood
with
a
pint
in
me’
hand
at
the
bar
didn’t
dance
but
put
an
E
in
me’
and
I
was
the
best
dancer
in
the
world
and
that’s
how
it
affected
a
lot
of
people.
But
when
it
stopped
being…
and
people
making
up
tablets
and
trying
to
make
money.
Not
many
people
realised
at
the
time
the
police
weren’t
trying
to
stop
the
parties
that
were
infiltrating
the
parties
because
they
were
trying
to
find
who
was
selling
the
drugs…
and
it
wasn’t
the
people
doing
the
party
and
providing
the
warehouse
…
that
were
selling
the
drugs.
It
was
people
who
sell
drugs,
where
of
course
the
police
thought.
It’s
lads
who
are
doing
the
parties
that
are
selling
the
drugs…
it
wasn’t…
F****ng
we
just
wanted
to
get
in
there
and
dance!
One
of
the
downsides
was
various
Blackburn
gangsters
thought
they’d
had
they
nose
pushed
out.
So
they
decided
they
would
start
their
version
of
Blackburn
parties.
So
their
got
warehouses
and
kicked
up
parties,
but
they
didn’t
have
the
DJs
…
we
had
they
didn’t
have
the
music
we
had
so
when
people
got
in
there…
they
knew
very
quickly
they
were
in
the
wrong
place..
but
they had
filled
the
pockets
full
of
money
by
charging
them
a tenner
or
what
to
get
in…
…
and
they
didn’t
give
a
s**t.
Yeah,
so
that
was
one
of
the
downsides
was…
was
that
part
of
it
but
people
soon
learnt
the
characters
involved
and
the
faces
…
involved
and
they
only
got
away
with
it
for
a
very
short..
short
amount
of
time
but
…
as
fer’
as
fer’
the
downsides
of
parties…
When
police
eventually
decided
they
were
going
to
stop
the
parties
cos’
for
the
first
2
years
whatever
…
…
long
wi’
got
away
with
it
the
police
just
acted
as
car
park
attendants.
And
one
of
the
policemen
I
used
to
interact
with
was
a
lovely
fellow
and
used
to
say…
I
don’t
mind
yourself
in
these
parties
I’m
on
over
time
and
I’m
putting
me’
son
through
college
for
doing
so..
a proud
man.
He
was
a
gentleman
and
a
scholar
he
was.
And
it
wasn’t
all
bad
with
the
police.
It
was
if
you
was…
the
party
we
had.
on
the
cattle
market
he
was
there
then
and
he
was
he
was
a
gentleman.
I
used
to
be…
not
the
spokesman
for
but
I
used
to
go
out
and
interact
and
see
how
they
were
and
they’d
…
ask
how
things
were
going…
It
was
sort
of
that
arrangement.
They
never
actually
stormed
any
of
the
parties
in
them
days
did they?
But
when
they
eventually
decided
they
were
going
to
stop
them.
The
one
that
I
do
remember
was
Mullards
top
of
Phillips
Road
Yeah.
They
had
the
had
the
riot
squad
out
and
once
they
decided
they
were
gonna
stop
them
they
quickly
got
on
top
of
it
all
but
I
do
remember
a
police
car
screeching
to
a
halt
near’we…
…
the
policeman
jumped
out…
the
police
car
…
and
try
to
stop
the
crowd…
the
Manc’s.
It
was
they..
tipped
the
car
on
its
roof.
Somebody
pulled
the
petrol
pipe
off
and
somebody
set
the
car
a light
so
the
car
was
a
light
in
the
middle
of
the
road
and
there
was
people
stood
on
it
cheering
and
clapping
n’
all
…
…
but
somebody
have
gone
through
the
glove
box
of
the
police
found
the
camera
that
they
always
carry…
one
of
these
Manc’s.
was
…
taking
photographs
with
the
police
camera
of
people
stood
on
top
it.
One
of
the
funniest
things
about
it…
wasn’t
funny
for
him.
But
he
was
in
the
lane
an’
police
were
coming
towards
wer’
banging
shields
with
truncheons
and
screamin’
and
him
ballin’
and
it
was
all…
they
just
didn’t
run
toward
you
they
just
walked
towards
ya
in a slow
manner
banging
they
shields
and
as
they
got
up
to
where
he
was…he
fell
down
and
the
police
line
walked
over
the
top,
then
one
of
them
bashed
him
on
the
head
with
a
with
the
truncheon
and
went
your
nicked
mate…
he
ended
up
getting
6
months
for
rioting
and
affray
and
all
that.
He
was
about
the
only
one
that
got
nicked
and
it
was
only
cos’
he
fell
over
you
know
what
I
mean?
So
when
you’re
thinking
about
all
the
things
that
stick
in
my
head…
all
of
these
things
stick
in
my
head…
The
last
word.
The
last
breath.
The
last
step.
The
last
thing.
Do
everything
like
it’s
the
last
thing
you’re
ever
going
to
do…
And
life
is
gonna
be
easy.
One
of
the
things
I
would
suggest
people
do
look
at in
100 years
time
is how
how
a mixed
up
bunch
of
bastards
came
together
to
create
something
…
Blackburn
had
never
had
before
people
wanting
to
dance
wanting
to
be
happy.
A
lot
of
love
in
the
air
when
previously
in
Blackburn.
I
hadn’t
come
across
any
of
that.
…
It
was
still
me
mantra
really
……
is
to
do
everything
like
it’s
going
to
…
be
the
last
thing
you’re
ever
going
to
do.
They
say
that
the
machine
is
bigger
than
its
sum
of
parts.
The
sum
of
the
parts.
It
couldn’t
have
been
done
without
you
lads
puttin’
the
wires
together
and
doing
the
system.
It
couldn’t
have
been
done
without
Kreft
who
was
a
very
integral
part
of
it
finding
…
the
warehouses.
Actually
securing
…
them
and
get
someway
in
there..
Not
forgetting
his
mates
Tenny
and
Jack
and
Gaz.
Yes
everybody
everybody
played
their
part.

My
first
memories
was
a
shop
on
Devenport
Road.
That
was
the
first
thing
I
ever
turned
up
at
and
I
don’t
know
how
we
got
wer’
shop or
how
we
got
wer’
venue,
but
it
was
actually
the
very
first
time
I
ever
went
to
what
you
would
class
as
an
Acid
House
party
and
there
may
have
been
30
or
40
people
there
and
it
was
a
large
amount
of
fun.
They
all
started
very
…in
small
gaffs.
Another
one
that
stands
out
right
in
the
beginning
was
the
Bubble
Factory.
Yeah.
Well
the
Bubble
Factory
was
fantastic.
It
was
when
I
started
to
think.
Oh,
we’ve
got
something
going
on
here,
you
know
because
you
didn’t
know
whether
the
first
one
was
just
going
to
be
that
or..
what
it
was.
It
was
the
first
time
that
I
realised
that
people
were
very
much
together
would
will
call
them
tree-huggers.
I
remember
f***ing
going
up
wer’
Cav.
You
never
met
with
many
smiles
and
you
were
met
with
a
lot
of
people
who
were
horrible
and
I
remember
the
Bubble
Factory
everybody
cuddled
each
other.
I
remember
police
turning
up
an’
they
weren’t
happy,
but
we
didn’t
stop
and
we
didn’t
leave
and
that
was
the…
the
first
one
where
I
thought
wow,
you
know
this
this
is
something
that
I
want
to
be
involved
in.
So
my
initial
involvement
when
the
party
started
was
when
we
were…
when
we
had
the
Sett
End
I
would
lead
the
convoy
to
the
party.
I
would…
I
had
a
black
3 litre
Capri
at
the
time
and
everybody
got
to
know
the
black
3 litre
Capri,
and
we would
head
off
from…
from
The
Sett
End
into
various
places
wherever
there
were…
Another
great
party
was…
and
this
sticks
in
the
and this
was
the
one
at
the
bottom
of
Philips
Road
was
it?
Northgate?
Or
..
North…
North
Road
building
the
North
Road
building.
I
remember
the
police
had
stopped…
a car
or
van
with
the
records
in…
and
met
in
Tony
went
and
found
some
records..
went
back
up.
The
Sett
End
got
a
box
of
records
and
I
remember
running
down
the
railway
track
and
climbing
through
a
window
into
the
North
Road
building.
Where…
another
big
memory
is
that
the
police
had
managed
to
turn
the
electric
off
for
that
one.
And they
thought
it
was
a
great
success
of
doing
so
and
plugged
into
the
next
door’s
electric
and
kicked
it
back
up
again.
That’s
that’s
another
one
that’s
stuck
in
me
head.
That
wasn’t
really
right
at
the
beginning
but
it’s
one
of
the
ones
that
sticks
in
me’
head
because
it
might
not
have
happened
and
it
did
happen.
Well
the
most
memorable
up side
…
it
was
people
who
you’d
consider
not
to
be
friendly
became
tree
huggers.
They
would
all
cuddle
each
other.
They
were
all
happy
it
was
not
a
sign
of
any
violence
and
when
Dave
and
John
got
involved
it
was
John
who
actually
got
with
into
The
Sett
End
We
were
looking
for
a
home
to
base
ourselves
at
…
and
John
knew
the
landlord…
and
the
landlord
was
an
English
guy
called
Billy
and
Billy
was
up
for
it.
Billy
was
a
hungry
little
bastard.
He
was
more
interested
in
money
than
the
music
in
the
doin’
but
between
the
2
of
them
was
why
we
managed
to
get
The
Sett
End
in
The
Sett
End
went
on
for
4
years
and
it
was
great
on
a
Saturday.
Everyone
would
congregate
outside
not
everyone
could
get
in
there,
but
the
convoy
would
inevitably
start
off
from
there.
Sett
End
was
a
great
joy.
It
wasn’t
a
very
big
venue.
So
you
had
a
lot
of
people
who
stood
at
the
door
and
we
had to
actually
limit
people
in
and
people
out
you
know,
because
it
would
have
been
very
dangerous
if
we
hadn’t
of
you
know…
There was
always
more
people
in
than
what
you
wanted.
But
little
Shack
was
the
DJ
for
the
party
little
Shack
was
the
kid
that
got
the
new
tunes
little
Shack
was
the man
that
organised
and
let
other
DJs
play
but
he
and
his
knowledge
of
music
was
just
fantastic
and
when
a
new
song
turned
up
and
we’ve
all
got
wer’
favourites…
it
was
the
music.
What
it
all
led
to
was this
massive
party
at
the
top
of
Gib
Lane
called
Live
the
Dream
where
somehow
we
managed
to
get
these
2
massive
tents
in
a
field
and
after
much….
coming
and
going
and
thrishing
n
thrashing
and
wagons
getting
stuck
at
the
gate
and
the
diesel
tank
that
was
on
the
back
of
the
wagon
when
he
came
through
tipped
over
and
fell
off
and
somehow
we
managed
to
pull
that
off
in
that
was
just
magical.
The
farmer
who
rented
us
the
field,
we
paid
his
expenses
for
him
to
do
one
for
the
weekend
because
if
they
couldn’t
find
him
the
couldn’t
serve
an
injunction…
if
they
coulda
…
served
an
injunction
on
him.
Thats
party
would
have
never
took
place
because
they
knew
Somethin
something
brewin.’
We were
selling
the
tickets,
but
they
couldn’t
find
where
that
party
was
gonna
be…
and
the
party
was
eventually
there
but
it
wasn’t
meant
to
be
there.
It was
gonna
….
be
somewhere
else
but
the
found
it
served
an
injunction
on
a
farmer
and
we
found
that
one
the
week
before
the
party
took
place…
and
the
farmer
was
a
lovely
guy
when
eventually…
they…
they…
I
got
prosecuted
because
my
name
was
on
for
selling
tickets.
He
was
obviously
the
farmer
that
owned
the
land
so
we
ended
up
in
Clitheroe
….
Magistrate’s
Court
and
then
eventually
in Preston
Crown
Court
charged
with
doing
a
party
an
whatever…
they
called
it
legal
illegal
gatherings
and
all
that…
and
I
felt
really
sorry
for
the
guy
cause
he
had
no
idea
the
s***
we was
going
to
put
them
in.
From
being
a
straight
headed
little
farmer
to…
all
of
a
certain…
Was
anyone…
was
anyone
charged?
Yeah,
I
was.
I
was.
I
was
charged.
I
got
a
suspended
sentence
and
he
got
a
suspended
sentence
and
we
both
got
charged
and
there
was
various
people
there.
….
And
that
was,
that
was
for
Live
The
Dream
aye
that
was
for
Live
The
Dream.
One
of
the
other
things
that
mean
let
me…
add
this one.
We’re
having
a
party.
And
I
can’t
quite
remember
where
the
party
was
at,
but
it
was
Christmas
or
Christmas
Eve
and
the
police
stopped
the
van
with
wer’
system
in.
We
had
another
van
with
another
system
in
ready
to
go
on.
We’ll
run
that
there
but
we
did
not
have
a
generator.
Drove
where
there
was
a
firm
that…
a plant
hire
firm
and stole
a
generator
and
drove
it
to
the
party
just
to
get
the
f******
party
up
and
going.
N’
that
happened…
without
that
we
had
no
generator..
it wouldn’ta
happened….
But
it
was…
things
need
to
be
done.
Things
will
be
done.
One
that
sticks
in
me
head
is
we’d
came
out
there
one
night
and
the
convoy
headed
off.
We
drove
along
Shad
Road
past
the
bus
and
we turned
left
which
is
3
minutes
away
from
the
pub
and
it
was
in
a
in
a
unit
right
behind
the
baths…
Brand
new
unit.
And
in
the
middle
of
the
unit
was
a
JCB…
the
party
decks
were
on
top
of
the
offices
in
the
corner
and
the
JCB
was
the
centrepiece
for
the
for
everyone
to
dance
on
and
dance
around,
that
was
another
one
that
sticks
in
my
head
a
lot.
You
know,
if
you
take
it
to
what
the
biggest
party
ever…
was…
was
the
one
at
Altham
….
there
must
have
been
10000
people
there,
a
lot
of
memorable
things
happened
at
that.
I
found
the
funniest
and
I’ve
never
really
recounted
and
I’ve
never
told
anybody
much…
there’s
not
many
people
heard
the
story
or
know
the
story
but
we
add a
do
up
in
a
warehouse
at
the
back
of
Oswaldtwistle
And
we
thought
was
an
empty
warehouse
and
it wer’ the
warehouse
was
empty,
but
the
offices
upstairs
were
used
as
a
training
center.
So
when
wer’
kicked
off
the
party,
we
inevitably
ended
up
upstairs
in
these
offices
now,
it
was
one
of
the
biggest
parties
when
were
when
we
first
started
really
getting
1000s
there
and
by
that
time
the
Manc’s
had
got
involved.
as
security.
Now
for
me
that
was
a
good
thing
because
wer’
set
off
a
lot
of
parties
and
what
had
Blackburn
doormen
who
would
just
fill
up
their
pockets
and
we
had
crowds
that
were
all
trying
to
get
through
a
doorway
in
a wall
being
squeezed
where
50
people
are
trying
to
get
through
the
door.
When
the
Manc’s
turned
up.
They
had
everyone
…
under
orders
and
people
queued
up
like
the
get
in
The
Cav.
So
my job
at
that
party
was
to
go
to
the
door
with
2
of
these
Manc’s
and
collect
the
money.
Yeah.
No,
that
was
what…
that
was
just
about
the
start
when
the
parties
started
producing
…
large
amounts
of
money
rather
than
pocket
money.
Now.
everybody
talked
…
…
The
Manc’s
are
going
to
turn
up
and
rob
you
everyone…
told
wer’ that…
everyone
said
you’re
not
going
to
get
outta
there
with
any
money.
The
Manc’s
are
going
to
rob
you
so
we
had
a
system
where
I
would
go
to
the
door
with
a
big
bin
bag
and
the
lads
on
the
door
would
tip
the
money
into
the
bin
bag
that
I
was
carrying
with
these
2
minders
and
would
take
the
money
up
to
the
office.
Well
we
were
sat
round
this
big
round
table
and
somebody
had
rifled
through
some
cupboards
and
then
found
some
pink
marigold
gloves.
So
you
had
a
lot
of
money…
Manchester
gangsters
and
a
load
of
us
who
were
all
paranoid
about
leaving
fingerprints.
So
there
was
10
or
15
people
sat
around
this
table
with
pink
marigold
gloves
on…
counting
the
money.
Yeah
so
I’d
go
in
and
I’ll
tip
the
money
on
the
table
and
would
head
off
because
we
had
2
or
3
doors
open
and
I’d
come
back
and
tip
it
back
onto
the
table
an’
they
were
all
sitting
counting
this
money
and
it
was
put
in
a
box
and
the
money
disappeared
with
one
of
our
lads.
It
was…
the
money
wasn’t
for
sharing
about
the
money
was
for
investing
in
the
next
party
an
investing
in
the
thing.
Not
many
people
were
making
money
out
of
the
job.
People
were
getting
what
they
needed
for
their
expenses,
but
it
wasn’t
like
this
is
why
we’re
doing
it
but
the
funny
bit
for
me
was
all
these
gangsters
sat
around
with
these
marigold
gloves
and
as
it
turned
out
the
Manc’s
didn’t
rob
wer’
It
was
a
little
while
after
that,
that
we
had the
really
big
one
at
Altham.
…
On
that
brand
new
estate
and
it
was
a
massive
warehouse
and
there
was
loads
of
policemen
outside
of
that
one
trying
to
stop
it.
But
there
again,
it
was
all
the
gangsters
sat
around
countin’
told
again,
we
wouldn’t
get
out
the
place
with
the
money.
And
somebody
escaped
…
with
it
in
the
boot
of
a
car
and
these
are
the
type
of
things
that
sticks
in
my
head.
But
that
party
as
the
sun
came
up.
We
had
all
the
roller
….
shutter
….
doors
up
and
the
sun
came
up
and
the
light
came
in
and
it
was
one
of
the
most
magical
experiences
I’ve
ever
had.
Another
one
is
the
one
where
it’s…
the
most
camera
footage
ah’ve
seen
of
any
party
was
unit 7
…..
Haslingden.
A Manchester
band
turned
up….
what
were
they
called?
New
Order
turned
up
and
they
said
New
Order’s
here.
Can
we
come
up
to
the
offices
upstairs?
One of us
went
out
and told them
to
f***
off
their
out
of
order!
And…
but
eventually
did…
they
did
come
up,
you
know,
but
that
was
one
of
the
parties.
But
I
do
remember
when
it…
when
it
came
wev’
an
end
it
came
of
an
end
very
abruptly.
Very
quickly
when
they’re…
cos’
people
said
how
long
do
you
think
we’re
gonna
…
…
get
away
with
this?
Well,
you
have
to
be
real
about
these
things
and
there
was
a
lot
of
people
selling
a
lot
of
drugs.
I
mean
one
of
the
big
things
about
the
parties
was
the
ecstasy…
ecstasy
was
one
of
the
things
that
brought
a
lot
of
people
together,
totally
harmless…
harmless
drug
in
in
my mind
until
the
they
stopped
being
…
ecstasy
and
people
were
making who
know
what
they
were
calling
ecstasy…
and
the
gangsters
had
got
involved
by
then
and
it
wasn’t…
it
was
downers
as
rather
than
not
uppers
…
You
have
to
mention
the
fact
that
a
big
part
of
the
parties
was
the
Ecstasy.
And
I
took
em
loved
it.
I
was
a
Geordie
who
stood
with
a
pint
in
me’
hand
at
the
bar
didn’t
dance
but
put
an
E
in
me’
and
I
was
the
best
dancer
in
the
world
and
that’s
how
it
affected
a
lot
of
people.
But
when
it
stopped
being…
and
people
making
up
tablets
and
trying
to
make
money.
Not
many
people
realised
at
the
time
the
police
weren’t
trying
to
stop
the
parties
that
were
infiltrating
the
parties
because
they
were
trying
to
find
who
was
selling
the
drugs…
and
it
wasn’t
the
people
doing
the
party
and
providing
the
warehouse
…
that
were
selling
the
drugs.
It
was
people
who
sell
drugs,
where
of
course
the
police
thought.
It’s
lads
who
are
doing
the
parties
that
are
selling
the
drugs…
it
wasn’t…
F****ng
we
just
wanted
to
get
in
there
and
dance!
One
of
the
downsides
was
various
Blackburn
gangsters
thought
they’d
had
they
nose
pushed
out.
So
they
decided
they
would
start
their
version
of
Blackburn
parties.
So
their
got
warehouses
and
kicked
up
parties,
but
they
didn’t
have
the
DJs
…
we
had
they
didn’t
have
the
music
we
had
so
when
people
got
in
there…
they
knew
very
quickly
they
were
in
the
wrong
place..
but
they had
filled
the
pockets
full
of
money
by
charging
them
a tenner
or
what
to
get
in…
…
and
they
didn’t
give
a
s**t.
Yeah,
so
that
was
one
of
the
downsides
was…
was
that
part
of
it
but
people
soon
learnt
the
characters
involved
and
the
faces
…
involved
and
they
only
got
away
with
it
for
a
very
short..
short
amount
of
time
but
…
as
fer’
as
fer’
the
downsides
of
parties…
When
police
eventually
decided
they
were
going
to
stop
the
parties
cos’
for
the
first
2
years
whatever
…
…
long
wi’
got
away
with
it
the
police
just
acted
as
car
park
attendants.
And
one
of
the
policemen
I
used
to
interact
with
was
a
lovely
fellow
and
used
to
say…
I
don’t
mind
yourself
in
these
parties
I’m
on
over
time
and
I’m
putting
me’
son
through
college
for
doing
so..
a proud
man.
He
was
a
gentleman
and
a
scholar
he
was.
And
it
wasn’t
all
bad
with
the
police.
It
was
if
you
was…
the
party
we
had.
on
the
cattle
market
he
was
there
then
and
he
was
he
was
a
gentleman.
I
used
to
be…
not
the
spokesman
for
but
I
used
to
go
out
and
interact
and
see
how
they
were
and
they’d
…
ask
how
things
were
going…
It
was
sort
of
that
arrangement.
They
never
actually
stormed
any
of
the
parties
in
them
days
did they?
But
when
they
eventually
decided
they
were
going
to
stop
them.
The
one
that
I
do
remember
was
Mullards
top
of
Phillips
Road
Yeah.
They
had
the
had
the
riot
squad
out
and
once
they
decided
they
were
gonna
stop
them
they
quickly
got
on
top
of
it
all
but
I
do
remember
a
police
car
screeching
to
a
halt
near’we…
…
the
policeman
jumped
out…
the
police
car
…
and
try
to
stop
the
crowd…
the
Manc’s.
It
was
they..
tipped
the
car
on
its
roof.
Somebody
pulled
the
petrol
pipe
off
and
somebody
set
the
car
a light
so
the
car
was
a
light
in
the
middle
of
the
road
and
there
was
people
stood
on
it
cheering
and
clapping
n’
all
…
…
but
somebody
have
gone
through
the
glove
box
of
the
police
found
the
camera
that
they
always
carry…
one
of
these
Manc’s.
was
…
taking
photographs
with
the
police
camera
of
people
stood
on
top
it.
One
of
the
funniest
things
about
it…
wasn’t
funny
for
him.
But
he
was
in
the
lane
an’
police
were
coming
towards
wer’
banging
shields
with
truncheons
and
screamin’
and
him
ballin’
and
it
was
all…
they
just
didn’t
run
toward
you
they
just
walked
towards
ya
in a slow
manner
banging
they
shields
and
as
they
got
up
to
where
he
was…he
fell
down
and
the
police
line
walked
over
the
top,
then
one
of
them
bashed
him
on
the
head
with
a
with
the
truncheon
and
went
your
nicked
mate…
he
ended
up
getting
6
months
for
rioting
and
affray
and
all
that.
He
was
about
the
only
one
that
got
nicked
and
it
was
only
cos’
he
fell
over
you
know
what
I
mean?
So
when
you’re
thinking
about
all
the
things
that
stick
in
my
head…
all
of
these
things
stick
in
my
head…
The
last
word.
The
last
breath.
The
last
step.
The
last
thing.
Do
everything
like
it’s
the
last
thing
you’re
ever
going
to
do…
And
life
is
gonna
be
easy.
One
of
the
things
I
would
suggest
people
do
look
at in
100 years
time
is how
how
a mixed
up
bunch
of
bastards
came
together
to
create
something
…
Blackburn
had
never
had
before
people
wanting
to
dance
wanting
to
be
happy.
A
lot
of
love
in
the
air
when
previously
in
Blackburn.
I
hadn’t
come
across
any
of
that.
…
It
was
still
me
mantra
really
……
is
to
do
everything
like
it’s
going
to
…
be
the
last
thing
you’re
ever
going
to
do.
They
say
that
the
machine
is
bigger
than
its
sum
of
parts.
The
sum
of
the
parts.
It
couldn’t
have
been
done
without
you
lads
puttin’
the
wires
together
and
doing
the
system.
It
couldn’t
have
been
done
without
Kreft
who
was
a
very
integral
part
of
it
finding
…
the
warehouses.
Actually
securing
…
them
and
get
someway
in
there..
Not
forgetting
his
mates
Tenny
and
Jack
and
Gaz.
Yes
everybody
everybody
played
their
part.

How
did
you
get
involved?
Well,
basically
I
put
a
couple
of
my
own
legal
Acid
House
parties
in
Great
Harwood
…..
in
1988
And
the
third
one
that
I
was
doing,
I
had
a
poster
up
in
Astonishing
Sounds
a
record
shop
in
Blackburn
and
I
handmade
the
poster
and it
said
Acid
House
…
Party
with
a
Smiley
Face.
Strobe
lights
…
…
1K
rig
from
Audio
Workshop
and…
playing
the
tunes.
So
this
poster’s
up
in
Astonishing
Sounds
…
…
…
and
Tommy
Smith,
who
was
unknown
to
me
at
the
time.
and
gone
in
the
shop’n
sayin’…
Who’s
got
this
poster
up
here?
He said
to
Neil
the
guy
who
owned
the shop.
He
said,
oh
it’s
a
lad
who
comes
in
buys
records
Imports
House
music,
He
says
right!
I’m
going
to
leave
my
number
here
with
you
so
…
If
he
does
come
in
again.
Can
you
get
him
to
contact
me?
So
then
the
next
time.
I
went
to
…
Astonishing
Sounds
Neil
said
to
me
Look…
He
said
there’s
a
guy
been
in.
A
Scotch
guy
and
he
said
he
looks
a
bit
untoward
(laughs)
He
said…
he
said…
he’s
left
his
number
with
you.
when
I
went
…
I
thought
you
know
what…
when
I
went
home
I thought
got
nothing
to
lose…
now
at
at that point
I
didn’t
even
have
a
landline
the
phone
box
around
the
corner
which
was
a
phone
box
on
Russell
Place.
So
I
went
round
rung
this
number
up
and
it
was
Tommy
on
the
end
of
the
phone
I said
How’ya
doing ?
I
said,
I’m
the
guy
with
the
poster
in the
Record
Shop.
So
well
look
….
this
Saturday.
We’re
doing
our
first
event
it’s at
the
Crackers
above…
Was
it
Jazzy
Kex ?
it’s
called….
Crackers
down
stairs
yeah,
right
Crackers
is
downstairs
and
they
had a
function
room
upstairs
So,
why
don’t
you
come
down
Saturday
afternoon?
and
we’ll
introduce
you
to
a
few
people
and
we’re
going
to
be
setting
up…
I said
okay
then
so
I
actually
went
down
Saturday
afternoon
didn’t
tell
none
of
…
of
…
me
mates
got
there
and
I
met
Tommy
and
Tony
and
a
few
other
people
and
he
was
building
a
stage
in
there
because
there
was
no
stage.
So
Tony
Kreft
was
building
a
stage.
Hand
made
the
stage
blah blah
and
he
said,
oh,
you
know
if
you
want
to
come
down
tonight,
bring
your
records…
believe
you
do
a
bit
of
DJ’ing
I said right brilliant
so
I
went
home
that
afternoon
and
thought
right.
I’m
not
still
not
going
to
tell
me
mates….
Just
going
to
go
down
and
just
just
test
it
out
see
what
it’s
all
about.
So
when
I
got
there
at
night
this
1K
rig
that
they
had
hired
from
Audio
Workshop
was
it
was
all
there
but
they
had
to
Hi-Fi
decks
which
were off
separates
on
top
on
you
know,
we’re
the
table
were
near
mixer
and
I
thought
well
that’s
not
going
to
work.
I
said,
Who can
drive
here?
And
a
guy
called
Witty
said
I
can
drive…
and
I
said
well
if
you
could
take
me
back
to
my
house
I
said
I
have
some
suitcase
decks
which
I had
for
mobile
DJing…
and
I
said,
I’ll
bring
them
back.
to
plug
it
in
and
away
we
go
said
that’s
not
going
to
work
with
these
Hi
FI
separate
decks.
So
he
took
me
back
to
Great
Harwood
…
come
back
wi’me
suitcase
decks
plugged
them
in
and
away
we
went
but
that’s
where
I
met
Shack.
who
was
the
other
DJ
and
that
night
was
absolutely
amazing.
It
was
the
First
night
that
it
started.
Was
you
there
Joe ?
It
was
a
little
bit
before
my
time,
right….
I
was
working
at
…
Audio
Workshop
…
so
…
dropped
the
gear
off,
right?
Yeah.
So
it
was
an
amazing…
to
say
the
room
was
so
small
when
I
went
in
the
afternoon
it
kind
of
expanded
when
it
was
full
of
people
and
they
had
strobes
you
just
an
old
strobe
machine
and
a
smoke
machine
and
that’s
all
it
were.
And
the
music
and
it
was
absolutely
amazing.
And
from
there.
That’s
how
I
just
got
involved.
That
was
my
first
introduction
of
what
they
were
doing
the
movement.
So
so
yeah,
that’s
that
was
my
little
bit
of
that
was
my
introduction
of
like
getting
to
know
these
people.
So
the
week
after
I
did
tell
all
my
friends
and
they
all
came
from
Great
Harwood
….
and
that…
that
was
that
and
then
from
there
so
amazing
those
nights in
there.
I
remember
one
of
the
first
parties
….
I
think
it
was
the
first
party
…
that
was
in
an
old
bike
shop…
disused
bike
shop
on
Johnson
Street
and
the
same
suitcase
decks
that
I
that
I
had
at
home
with
my
speakers.
Tommy
had
said
to
me
can
we
borrow
them
off
you
and
you
know,
you’ll
be
DJ
and
blah
blah
blah
so
said
yeah,
no
worries.
So
we
went
in
the
afternoon
set
the
gear
up
and
in
this
cellar
was
dissused
shop
on
Johnson
Street,
and
then
it
was
after
Crackers.
Everybody
went
from
Crackers
to
this
…
like
party
in
this
dissused
…
shop
and
I
thought
What’s
going
to
happen
here?
…
How’s
everyone
going
to
fit
in
and
it
was
in
the
cellar.
So
the
cellar
of
the
shop
was
where
my
equipment
were.
I
started
playing
a
few
records
Shack
was
DJ’ing
and
Jam MC’s
have
come
from
Manchester
they
were
there…
played
on
on
my
little
decks
what
I
had
and
then
when
everybody
filled
the
actual
building,
and
it
was
downstairs
and
upstairs
was
that
many
people
upstairs
the
all
the
dust
was
all
coming
from
the
ceiling
and
I
remember
when
it
all
finished
and
had
t’take
my
gear
home
that
night
in
a taxi
it
was
all
covered
in
white
dust.
Everybody
came
out
from
the
cellar
literally
had
dust
all
over
em
but
it
was
…
an
amazing
memory…
an
amazing
memory
and
that’s
really
where
I
kind
of
like
got
involved
and
just
from
there
and
did
a
few
More
do’s
with
them
and
and
…
DJ’d
right
at the
start
at
Sett
End
and
then
the
rest
of
the
lads
their
kind
of
took
over.
So
yeah,
it
was
it
was
a
brilliant
time.
It
was
great
for
Blackburn
and
and
everybody
that
you
know
from
surrounding
areas
to
come
on
all
get
together
and
be
part
of
like
something
that
was
special.

I
didn’t
even
have

so
I
actually
went

Saturday
afternoon
didn’t

none
of
…
of
…
me
mates
got
there
and
I
met
Tommy
and
Tony
and
a
few
other
people
and
he
was
building
a
stage
in
there
because
there
was
no

So
Tony
Kreft
was
building
a
stage.
Hand
made
the
stage
blah blah
and
he
said,
oh,
you
know
if
you
want

believe
you
do
a
bit
of
DJ’ing
I said right brilliant
so
I
went
home
that
afternoon
and
thought
right.
I’m
not
still
not
going
to
tell
me
mates….
Just
going
to
go
down
and
just
just
test
it
out
see
what
it’s
all
about.
So
when
I
got
there
at
night
this
1K
rig
that
they
had
hired
from
Audio
Workshop
was
it
was
all
there
but
they
had
to
Hi-Fi
decks
which
were off
separates
on
top
on
you
know,
we’re
the
table
were
near
mixer
and
I
thought
well
that’s
not
going
to
work.
I
said,
Who can
drive
here?
And
a
guy
called
Witty
said
I
can
drive…
and
I
said
well
if
you
could
take
me
back
to
my
house
I
said
I
have
some
suitcase
decks
which
I had
for
mobile
DJing…
and
I
said,
I’ll
bring
them
back.
to
plug
it
in
and
away
we
go
said
that’s
not
going
to
work
with
these
Hi
FI
separate
decks.
So
he
took
me
back
to
Great
Harwood
…
come
back
wi’me
suitcase
decks
plugged
them
in
and
away
we
went
but
that’s
where
I
met
Shack.
who
was
the
other
DJ
and
that
night
was
absolutely
amazing.
It
was
the
First
night
that
it
started.
Was
you
there
Joe ?
It
was
a
little
bit
before
my
time,
right….
I
was
working
at
…
Audio
Workshop
…
so
…
dropped
the
gear
off,
right?
Yeah.
So
it
was
an
amazing…
to
say
the
room
was
so
small
when
I
went
in
the
afternoon
it
kind
of
expanded
when
it
was
full
of
people
and
they
had
strobes
you
just
an
old
strobe
machine
and
a
smoke
machine
and
that’s
all
it
were.
And
the
music
and
it
was
absolutely
amazing.
And
from
there.
That’s
how
I
just
got
involved.
That
was
my
first
introduction
of
what
they
were
doing
the
movement.
So
so
yeah,
that’s
that
was
my
little
bit
of
that
was
my
introduction
of
like
getting
to
know
these
people.
So
the
week
after
I
did
tell
all
my
friends
and
they
all
came
from
Great
Harwood
….
and
that…
that
was
that
and
then
from
there
so
amazing
those
nights in
there.
I
remember
one
of
the
first
parties
….
I
think
it
was
the
first
party
…
that
was
in
an
old
bike
shop…
disused
bike
shop
on
Johnson
Street
and
the
same
suitcase
decks
that
I
that
I
had
at
home
with
my
speakers.
Tommy
had
said
to
me
can
we
borrow
them
off
you
and
you
know,
you’ll
be
DJ
and
blah
blah
blah
so
said
yeah,
no
worries.
So
we
went
in
the
afternoon
set
the
gear
up
and
in
this
cellar
was
dissused
shop
on
Johnson
Street,
and
then
it
was
after
Crackers.
Everybody
went
from
Crackers
to
this
…
like
party
in
this
dissused
…
shop
and
I
thought
What’s
going
to
happen
here?
…
How’s
everyone
going
to
fit
in
and
it
was
in
the
cellar.
So
the
cellar
of
the
shop
was
where
my
equipment
were.
I
started
playing
a
few
records
Shack
was
DJ’ing
and
Jam MC’s
have
come
from
Manchester
they
were
there…
played
on
on
my
little
decks
what
I
had
and
then
when
everybody
filled
the
actual
building,
and
it
was
downstairs
and
upstairs
was
that
many
people
upstairs
the
all
the
dust
was
all
coming
from
the
ceiling
and
I
remember
when
it
all
finished
and
had
t’take
my

…
well
especially

it
did
carry
on
…
over
Wigan

I
carried
on
into
the

its
only
the

scene
started out
I
was
always
putting

little
bits
of
do’s
on
in
Great

I were
DJ-ing
in
all
the

I
had
a bit
of a
following

all
became

one
of me
close
friends
a

some
of
me
other
mates
they
decided
they
were
going
to
like
they’re
going
to
take
it
a
stage
further.
So
we’re
going
to
find
our
own
little
night
…
spot.
So
I’d been
and
approached
Monroe’s
Simon

was
called
Simon

were
a
bloke

a
Thursday.
So
we
said right OK
then
so
then
that’s
where
Joe
came
in then.
We’ve
got
the
sound
system
down
there
and
then
from
that
night
…

because
I
knew
quite
a
lot
of
people
from
Accrington
and
Clitheroe
and
and
…
only
only
a
few
from
Blackburn.
We
got
everybody
together
and
there
were
no
mobile
phones
then
it
were
all
like
word
of
mouth
an’
an
odd
telephone
call
from
from
the
telephone
box
around
the
corner
and
everyone
came
together
and
from
there
it started
on
Thursday
nights
and
then
it
came
to
a
Friday
night
and
Friday
then
it
moved
to
a
Saturday
and
they
that
was
another
another

well
for
me
personally
being

How
did
you
get
involved?
Well,
basically
I
put
a
couple
of
my
own
legal
acid
House
parties
in
Great
Harwood
…..
in
1988
And
the
third
one
that
I
was
doing,
I
had
a
poster
up
in
Astonishing
Sounds
a
record
shop
in
Blackburn
and
I
handmade
the
poster
and it
said
Acid
House
…
Party
with
a
Smiley
Smiley
Face.
Strobe
lights
…
….
1K
rig
from
Audio
Workshop
and…
playing
the
tunes.
So
this
poster’s
…
up
in
Astonishing
Sounds
And
Tommy
Smith,
who
was
unknown
to me at
the
time.
ad
gone
in
the
shop’n
sayin’…
Who’s
got
this
poster
up
here?
He said
to
Neil
the
guy
who
owned
the
shop.
He
said,
oh
it’s
a
lad
who
comes
in
buys
records
Imports
House
music,
He
says
right!
I’m
going
to
leave
my
number
here
with
you
so
…
If
he
does

in
again.
Can
you
get
him
to

me?
So

the
next
time.
I
went’to
Astonishing

Neil
said
to
me

said

Scotch
guy
and

said
he
looks
a
bit
untoward
(laughs)
said
he
said
he’s
left
his
number
with
you.
So
…
…
could
you
ring
him?
So
basically…
So
basically
when
I
went

thought
you

what…
when
I
went

I
thought…
got
nothing
to
lose…
now
at
at that point
I
didn’t
even
have
a
landline
the
phone
box
around
the
corner

was

the
end
of
the
phone

why
don’tcha
come
down
Saturday
afternoon?
and
we’ll
introduce
you
to
a
few
people
and
we’re
going
to
be
setting
up…
I said
okay
then
so
I
actually
went
down
Saturday
afternoon
didn’t
tell
…
none
of
…
of
me
mates
got
there
and
I
met
Tommy
and
Tony
and
a
few
other
people
and
he
was
building
a
stage
in
there
because
there
was
no
stage.
So
Tony
Kreft
was
building
a
stage.
Hand
made
the
stage
blah blah
and
he
said,
oh,
you
know
if
you
want
to
come
down
tonight,
bring
your
records
believe
you
do
a
bit
of
DJ’ing
I
said
right
brilliant,
so
I
went
home
that
afternoon
and
thought
right.
I’m
not
still
not
going
to
tell
me
mates….
Just
going
to
go
down
and
just
just
test
it
out
see
what
it’s
all
about.
So
when
I
got
there
at
night
this
1K
rig
that
they
had
hired
from
Audio
Workshop
was
it
was
all
there
but
they
had
to
Hi-Fi
decks
which
were off
separates
on
top
on
you
know,
we’re
the
table
were
near
mixer
and
I
thought
well
that’s
not
going
to
work.
I
said,
Who
can
drive
here?
And
a
guy
called
Witty
he
said
I
can
drive…
and
I
said
well
if
you
could
take
me
back
to
my
house
I
said
I
have
some
suitcase
decks
which
I had
for
mobile
DJing…
and
I
said,
I’ll
bring
them
back.
….
to
plug
it
in
and
away
we
go
said
that’s
not
going
to
work
with
these
Hi
FI
separate
decks.
So
he
took
me
back
to
Great
Harwood
….
come
back
wi’me
suitcase
decks
plugged
them
in
and
away
we
went
but
that’s
where
I
met
Shack.
who
was
the
other
DJ
and
that
night
was
absolutely
amazing.
It
was
the
First
night
that
it
started.
Was
you
there
Joe ?
It
was
a
little
bit
before
my
time,
right….
I
was
working
at
Audio
….
Workshop
so
dropped
the
gear
off,
right?
Yeah.
So
it
was
an
amazing…
to
say
the
room
was
so
small
when
I
went
in
the
afternoon
it
kind
of
expanded
when
it
was
full
of
people
and
they
had
strobes
you
know
just
an
old
strobe
machine
and
a
smoke
machine
and
that’s
all
it
were.
And
the
music
and
it
was
absolutely
amazing.
And
from
there.
That’s
how
I
just
got
involved.
That
was
my
first
introduction
of
Of
what
they
were
doing
the
movement.
So
so
yeah,
that’s
that
was
my
little
bit
of
that
was
my
introduction
of
like
getting
to
know
these
people.
So
the
week
after
I
did
tell
all
my
friends
and
they
all
came
from
Great
Harwood
….
and
that…
that
was
that
and
then
from
there
so
amazing
those
nights in
there.
I
remember
one
of
the
first
parties
….
I
think
it
was
the
first
party
that
was
in
an
old
bike
shop…
dissused
bike
shop
on
Johnson
Street
and
the
same
suitcase
decks
that
I
that
I
had
at
home
with
my
speakers.
Tommy
had
….
said
to
me
can
we
borrow
them
off
you
and
you
know,
you’ll
be
DJ
and
blah
blah
blah
so
said
yeah,
no
worries.
So
we
went
in
the
afternoon
set
the
gear
up
and
in
this
cellar
was
dissused
shop
on
Johnson
Street,
and
then
it
was
after
Crackers.
Everybody
went
from
Crackers
to
this
like
party
in
this
dissused
….
shop
and
I
thought
What’s
going
to
happen
here?
How’s
everyone
going
to
fit
in
and
it
was
in
the
cellar.
So
the
cellar
of
the
shop
was
where
my
equipment
were.
I
started
playing
a
few
records
Shack
….
was
DJ’ing
and
the
Jam MC’s
have
come
from
Manchester
they
were
there…
played
on
on
my
little
decks
what
I
had
and
then
when
everybody
filled
the
actual
building,
it
was
downstairs
and
upstairs
was
that
many
people
upstairs
the
all
the
dust
was
all
coming
from
the
ceiling
and
I
remember
when
it
all
finished
and
had
t’take
my
gear
home
that
night
in
a taxi
it
was
all
covered
in
white
dust.
Everybody
came
out
from
the
cellar
they
literally
had
dust
all
over
em
but
it
was
….
an
amazing
memory…
an
amazing
memory
and
that’s
really
where
I
kind
of
like
got
involved
and
just
from
there
and
did
a
few
More
do’s
with
them
and
and
DJ’d
right
at
the
start
at
Sett
End
and
then
the
rest
of
the
lads
their
kind
of
took
over.
So
yeah,
it
was
it
was
a
brilliant
time.
It
was
great
for
Blackburn
and
and
everybody
that
you
know
from
surrounding
areas
to
come
on
all
get
together
and
be
part
of
like
something
that
was
special.
What
apart
from
what
you’ve
told
about
that
start…
What
What
are
your
best
memories
of
it?
After
that
once
you’ve
got
going
what’s
best
memories
of
it?
All
of
it?
Well
you
and
also
you
started
off
Monroes ?
…
Yeah
with
my
friends.
Yeah
invited
me
to
do
Thursday
night
first.
That’s
right.
You
asked
me
to bring
PA
over!
remember
start
did
I?
Bloomin eck!
like
yes,
right.
We
started
that
you
were
saying
I’m
trying
to
get
this
thing
going
over here
right!
Yeah,
right…
Sorry.
Tell
us
about
Monroe’s
Well,
but
basically
I
was
DJing
from
like
1986-87
when
the
house
music
scene
started
out
always
putting
on
little
bits
of
do’s
on
in
Great
Harwodd
…
DJ’ing
in
all
the
pubs
had
a bit of
a
following
with
all
my
friends,
and
some
of’my
close
friends
a lad
called
Simon
Duxbury,
and
some
of
my
other
mates,
they
decided
they
were
going
to
like
they’re
going
to
take
it
a
step
further.
So
we’re
going
to
find
our
own
little
night spot.
So
I’ve
been
an
approached
Monroe’s
management
He
was
called
Simon
who
owned
Monroes,
steamy
windows
which
were
a
bloke
called
Ian
whose
…
legendary
now
and
said
look
we’re
interested
in
putting
a
night on.
So
the
next
thing
Simon
came
back
to
me
and
said
right
we’re
going
to
be
doing
a
Thursday
night.
Theyr’e
going
to
give
us
a
go.
Not
a
Friday,
which
we
wanted.
It
was
a
Thursday,
so
it’s
right
ok then.
And
so
I
think
that’s
where
Joe
came
in.
We’ve
got
the
sound
system
down
there
and
then
from
that
night
on
was
because
I
knew
quite
a
lot
of
people
from
Accrington
and
Clitheroe
…
….
….
only
a
few
from
Blackburn.
We
got
everybody
together
on
their
own
no
mobile
phones.
And
so
it
were
all
…
word
of
mouth
and
the
odd
telephone
call
from
from
the
telephone
box.
Going
and
everyone
came
together
and
from
there
started
on
Thursday
nights
and
then
it
came
to
a
Friday
night
and
Friday,
then
it
moved
to
us
up
there
and
that
that
was
another
another
part
of
the
journey
for
well
for
me
personally
been
involved
with
my
friends
and
and
all
the
surrounding
people
your
people
from
all
the
areas.
We
were
coming
together.
Well,
there’s
so
many
people.
Yeah,
laugh
afterwards,
you
know
an
itch.
Yeah
did
carry
on
after
he
carried
on
for
years.
It
went
through
all
different
scenes
of
House
music.
Yeah,
and
so
it
eventually
got
closed
down
and
then
it
I
think
car
driven
into
its
yeah
that’s
right
….
burn’t
to
the
ground
which
were
very
sad.
But
Monroe’s
…
is
another
part
of
the
history,
but
I
said
Crackers
and
Sett
End
with
what
you
know,
like
that’s
where
it
all
started
but
Monroe’s
was
part
of
it.
Of
course.
Yeah
some
fantastic
memories
from
there.
No not
really
No
….
All
good
memories
because
everybody
was
honest
it
was
a
Level
Playing
Field
every
was
same
for
everybody.
It
was
new
to
everybody
but
a
lot
of
people
together
who
wouldn’t
thought
they
might
have
got
into
that
music
because
it
were
Daily
Telegraph,
you
know,
the
party
after
two
o’clock,
you
know
in
the
morning
that’s
when
the
night
was
we
finish…
your
people
turn
up
the
shirts
and
ties
on
to
come
and
join
in
think
what’s
it
all
about
these
raves
and
these
illegal
raves.
So
so
from
there
it
was
it
was
an
amazing
time
from
start
to
finish.
What
did
you
do
after ?
When
the
rave
scene
dampened
say
….
after
the
when
the
Nelson
party
the
the
big
one
where
you
know,
like
that
was
like
kind
of
where
it
kind
of
died
down
a
touch
….
especially
around
here,
but
it
did
carry
on
it’s
over
Wigan
way
and
St. Helens
…
with
the
Revenge
parties
and
you
know
a
guy
called
lockie
who’se
not
….
was
not
not
with
us
bless
his
cotton
socks
now.
But
he
was
behind
all
that.
And
they
were
amazing
times
and
it
did
carry
on.
So
I
I
personally
just
carried
on
following
the
music
from
when
all
the
raves
….
finished.
I
carried
on
into
other
different
types
of
dance
music
carried
on
DJ’ing
It’s
only
the
last
few
years
that
I’ve
come
away
from
it.
So
in
all
those
30
years,
I’ve
been
DJing
quite
a
lot
of
them
in
different
friends
bars
….
bars
in
Blackburn
and
Burnley
and
loads
of
events
and
what
have
you
done
also,
but
it
always
comes
back
to
when
I’m
doing
an
event
if
it’s
a
private
one
Put
some
old-school
on
put
some
old-school
on…
and
you
know
that
when
you
put
that
music
on
it’s
got
great
memories
for
everybody
and
it
does
the
trick
every
time.
so
no
bad
memories
whatsoever.
All
good
ones.
Before
we
finish
this
then
is
there
anything
that
you
want
to
add
that
you
think
you
should
put
into
the
archive
for
some
kid
in
a
hundred
years
who
wants
to
know
what
you
lot
were
up to?
Is
there
anything
you’d
like
to
say
to
them?
Well,
basically
I
said
the
main
thing
was
it
brought
people
from
all
different
backgrounds,
especially
like
at
that
time.
There
was
a
big
football
hooligan
scenario
going
on
and
it
kind
of
quashed
a
lot
of
that
because
people
just
wanted
to
go
and
enjoy
yourself
and
let
their
hair
down.
That’s
when
we
did
have
hair!
and
all
come
together
under
one
roof
whether
it
be
in
a
warehouse
or
a
nightclub
or
a
function
room,
and
everybody
was
in
on
the
on
the
same,
you
know,
like
even
playing
field.
Enjoying
their
selves
and
having
a
great
time
and
meeting
new
friends
and
…
the
amount
of
people
that
I
met
through
all
….
all
them
eras…
you
know,
I’m
still
friends
with
people
now.
…
A
great
time,
you
know
meeting
people
and
people
you
never
probably
meet
that
sort
of
brought
a
lot
of
goodness
to
it
and
and
Blackburn
was
a
big
hub
for
it….
was
a
great
place
was
Blackburn.

How
did
you
get
involved?
Well,
basically
I
put
a
couple
of
my
own
legal
acid
House
parties
in
Great
Harwood
…..
in
1988
And
the
third
one
that
I
was
doing,
I
had
a
poster
up
in
Astonishing
Sounds
a
record
shop
in
Blackburn
and
I
handmade
the
poster
and it
said
Acid
House

Party

a
Smiley
Smiley
Face.
Strobe
lights
…
….
1K
rig
from
Audio
Workshop
and…
playing
the
tunes.
So
this
poster’s
…
up
in
Astonishing
Sounds
And
Tommy
Smith,
who
was
unknown
to me at
the
time.
ad
gone
in
the
shop’n
sayin’…
Who’s
got
this
poster
up
here?
He said
to
Neil
the
guy
who
owned
the
shop.
He
said,
oh

a
lad
who
comes
in
buys
records
Imports
House
music,
He
says
right!
I’m
going
to

If

Can
you
get
him
to
contact
me?
So
then
the
next
time.
I
went’to
Astonishing

Neil
said
to
me
Look…
He
said

A
Scotch
guy
and
he
said
he
looks
a
bit
untoward
(laughs)
said
he
said
he’s
left
his
number
with
you.
So
…
…
could
you
ring
him?
So
basically…
So
basically
when
I
went
in
I
thought
you
know
what…
when
I
went
home
I
thought…
got
nothing
to
lose…
now
at
at that point
I
didn’t
even
have
a
landline
the
phone
box
around
the
corner
which
was
a
phone
box
on
Russell
Place.
So
I
went
round
rung
this
number
up
and
it
was
Tommy
on
the
end
of
the
phone
I said
How’ya
doing ?
I
said,
I’m
the
guy
with
the
poster
in the
Record
Shop.
So
well
look
….
this
Saturday.
We’re
doing
our
first

So,

come
down
Saturday
afternoon?
and
we’ll
introduce
you
to
a
few
people
and
we’re
going
to
be
setting
up…
I said
okay
then
so
I
actually
went
down
Saturday
afternoon
didn’t
tell
…
none
of
…
of
me
mates
got
there
and
I
met
Tommy
and
Tony
and
a
few
other
people
and
he
was
building
a
stage
in
there
because
there
was
no
stage.
So
Tony
Kreft
was
building
a
stage.
Hand
made
the
stage
blah blah
and
he
said,
oh,
you
know
if
you
want
to
come
down
tonight,
bring
your
records
believe
you
do
a
bit
of
DJ’ing
I
said
right
brilliant,
so
I
went
home
that
afternoon
and
thought
right.
I’m
not
still
not
going
to
tell
me
mates….
Just
going
to
go
down
and
just
just
test
it
out
see
what
it’s
all
about.
So
when
I
got
there
at
night
this
1K
rig
that
they
had
hired
from
Audio
Workshop
was
it
was
all
there
but
they
had
to
Hi-Fi
decks
which
were off
separates
on
top
on
you
know,
we’re
the
table
were
near
mixer
and
I
thought
well
that’s
not
going
to
work.
I
said,
Who
can
drive
here?
And
a
guy
called
Witty
he
said
I
can
drive…
and
I
said
well
if
you
could
take
me
back
to
my
house
I
said
I
have
some
suitcase
decks
which
I had
for
mobile
DJing…
and
I
said,
I’ll
bring
them
back.
….
to
plug
it
in
and
away
we
go
said
that’s
not
going
to
work
with
these
Hi
FI
separate
decks.
So
he
took
me
back
to
Great
Harwood
….
come
back
wi’me
suitcase
decks
plugged
them
in
and
away
we
went
but
that’s
where
I
met
Shack.
who
was
the
other
DJ
and
that
night
was
absolutely
amazing.
It
was
the
First
night
that
it
started.
Was
you
there
Joe ?
It
was
a
little
bit
before
my
time,
right….
I
was
working
at
Audio
….
Workshop
so
dropped
the
gear
off,
right?
Yeah.
So
it
was
an
amazing…
to
say
the
room
was
so
small
when
I
went
in
the
afternoon
it
kind
of
expanded
when
it
was
full
of
people
and
they
had
strobes
you
know
just
an
old
strobe
machine
and
a
smoke
machine
and
that’s
all
it
were.
And
the
music
and
it
was
absolutely
amazing.
And
from
there.
That’s
how
I
just
got
involved.
That
was
my
first
introduction
of
Of
what
they
were
doing
the
movement.
So
so
yeah,
that’s
that
was
my
little
bit
of
that
was
my
introduction
of
like
getting
to
know
these
people.
So
the
week
after
I
did
tell
all
my
friends
and
they
all
came
from
Great
Harwood
….
and
that…
that
was
that
and
then
from
there
so
amazing
those
nights in
there.
I
remember
one
of
the
first
parties
….
I
think
it
was
the
first
party
that
was
in
an
old
bike
shop…
dissused
bike
shop
on
Johnson
Street
and
the
same
suitcase
decks
that
I
that
I
had
at
home
with
my
speakers.
Tommy
had
….
said
to
me
can
we
borrow
them
off
you
and
you
know,
you’ll
be
DJ
and
blah
blah
blah
so
said
yeah,
no
worries.
So
we
went
in
the
afternoon
set
the
gear
up
and
in
this
cellar
was
dissused
shop
on
Johnson
Street,
and
then
it
was
after
Crackers.
Everybody
went
from
Crackers
to
this
like
party
in
this
dissused
….
shop
and
I
thought
What’s
going
to
happen
here?
How’s
everyone
going
to
fit
in
and
it
was
in
the
cellar.
So
the
cellar
of
the
shop
was
where
my
equipment
were.
I
started
playing
a
few
records
Shack
….
was
DJ’ing
and
the
Jam MC’s
have
come
from
Manchester
they
were
there…
played
on
on
my
little
decks
what
I
had
and
then
when
everybody
filled
the
actual
building,
it
was
downstairs
and
upstairs
was
that
many
people
upstairs
the
all
the
dust
was
all
coming
from
the
ceiling
and
I
remember
when
it
all
finished
and
had
t’take
my
gear
home
that
night
in
a taxi
it
was
all
covered
in
white
dust.
Everybody
came
out
from
the
cellar
they
literally
had
dust
all
over
em
but
it
was
….
an
amazing
memory…
an
amazing
memory
and
that’s
really
where
I
kind
of
like
got
involved
and
just
from
there
and
did
a
few
More
do’s
with
them
and
and
DJ’d
right
at
the
start
at
Sett
End
and
then
the
rest
of
the
lads
their
kind
of
took
over.
So
yeah,
it
was
it
was
a
brilliant
time.
It
was
great
for
Blackburn
and
and
everybody
that
you
know
from
surrounding
areas
to
come
on
all
get
together
and
be
part
of
like
something
that
was
special.
What
apart
from
what
you’ve
told
about
that
start…
What
What
are
your
best
memories
of
it?
After
that
once
you’ve
got
going
what’s
best
memories
of
it?
All
of
it?
Well
you
and
also
you
started
off
Monroes ?
…
Yeah
with
my
friends.
Yeah
invited
me
to
do
Thursday
night
first.
That’s
right.
You
asked
me
to bring
PA
over!
remember
start
did
I?
Bloomin eck!
like
yes,
right.
We
started
that
you
were
saying
I’m
trying
to
get
this
thing
going
over here
right!
Yeah,
right…
Sorry.
Tell
us
about
Monroe’s
Well,
but
basically
I
was
DJing
from
like
1986-87
when
the
house
music
scene
started
out
always
putting
on
little
bits
of
do’s
on
in
Great
Harwodd
…
DJ’ing
in
all
the
pubs
had
a bit of
a
following
with
all
my
friends,
and
some
of’my
close
friends
a lad
called
Simon
Duxbury,
and
some
of
my
other
mates,
they
decided
they
were
going
to
like
they’re
going
to
take
it
a
step
further.
So
we’re
going
to
find
our
own
little
night spot.
So
I’ve
been
an
approached
Monroe’s
management
He
was
called
Simon
who
owned
Monroes,
steamy
windows
which
were
a
bloke
called
Ian
whose
…
legendary
now
and
said
look
we’re
interested
in
putting
a
night on.
So
the
next
thing
Simon
came
back
to
me
and
said
right
we’re
going
to
be
doing
a
Thursday
night.
Theyr’e
going
to
give
us
a
go.
Not
a
Friday,
which
we
wanted.
It
was
a
Thursday,
so
it’s
right
ok then.
And
so
I
think
that’s
where
Joe
came
in.
We’ve
got
the
sound
system
down
there
and
then
from
that
night
on
was
because
I
knew
quite
a
lot
of
people
from
Accrington
and
Clitheroe
…
….
….
only
a
few
from
Blackburn.
We
got
everybody
together
on
their
own
no
mobile
phones.
And
so
it
were
all
…
word
of
mouth
and
the
odd
telephone
call
from
from
the
telephone
box.
Going
and
everyone
came
together
and
from
there
started
on
Thursday
nights
and
then
it
came
to
a
Friday
night
and
Friday,
then
it
moved
to
us
up
there
and
that
that
was
another
another
part
of
the
journey
for
well
for
me
personally
been
involved
with
my
friends
and
and
all
the
surrounding
people
your
people
from
all
the
areas.
We
were
coming
together.
Well,
there’s
so
many
people.
Yeah,
laugh
afterwards,
you
know
an
itch.
Yeah
did
carry
on
after
he
carried
on
for
years.
It
went
through
all
different
scenes
of
House
music.
Yeah,
and
so
it
eventually
got
closed
down
and
then
it
I
think
car
driven
into
its
yeah
that’s
right
….
burn’t
to
the
ground
which
were
very
sad.
But
Monroe’s
…
is
another
part
of
the
history,
but
I
said
Crackers
and
Sett
End
with
what
you
know,
like
that’s
where
it
all
started
but
Monroe’s
was
part
of
it.
Of
course.
Yeah
some
fantastic
memories
from
there.
No not
really
No
….
All
good
memories
because
everybody
was
honest
it
was
a
Level
Playing
Field
every
was
same
for
everybody.
It
was
new
to
everybody
but
a
lot
of
people
together
who
wouldn’t
thought
they
might
have
got
into
that
music
because
it
were
Daily
Telegraph,
you
know,
the
party
after
two
o’clock,
you
know
in
the
morning
that’s
when
the
night
was
we
finish…
your
people
turn
up
the
shirts
and
ties
on
to
come
and
join
in
think
what’s
it
all
about
these
raves
and
these
illegal
raves.
So
so
from
there
it
was
it
was
an
amazing
time
from
start
to
finish.
What
did
you
do
after ?
When
the
rave
scene
dampened
say
….
after
the
when
the
Nelson
party
the
the
big
one
where
you
know,
like
that
was
like
kind
of
where
it
kind
of
died
down
a
touch
….
especially
around
here,
but
it
did
carry
on
it’s
over
Wigan
way
and
St. Helens
…
with
the
Revenge
parties
and
you
know
a
guy
called
lockie
who’se
not
….
was
not
not
with
us
bless
his
cotton
socks
now.
But
he
was
behind
all
that.
And
they
were
amazing
times
and
it
did
carry
on.
So
I
I
personally
just
carried
on
following
the
music
from
when
all
the
raves
….
finished.
I
carried
on
into
other
different
types
of
dance
music
carried
on
DJ’ing
It’s
only
the
last
few
years
that
I’ve
come
away
from
it.
So
in
all
those
30
years,
I’ve
been
DJing
quite
a
lot
of
them
in
different
friends
bars
….
bars
in
Blackburn
and
Burnley
and
loads
of
events
and
what
have
you
done
also,
but
it
always
comes
back
to
when
I’m
doing
an
event
if
it’s
a
private
one
Put
some
old-school
on
put
some
old-school
on…
and
you
know
that
when
you
put
that
music
on
it’s
got
great
memories
for
everybody
and
it
does
the
trick
every
time.
so
no
bad
memories
whatsoever.
All
good
ones.
Before
we
finish
this
then
is
there
anything
that
you
want
to
add
that
you
think
you
should
put
into
the
archive
for
some
kid
in
a
hundred
years
who
wants
to
know
what
you
lot
were
up to?
Is
there
anything
you’d
like
to
say
to
them?
Well,
basically
I
said
the
main
thing
was
it
brought
people
from
all
different
backgrounds,
especially
like
at
that
time.
There
was
a
big
football
hooligan
scenario
going
on
and
it
kind
of
quashed
a
lot
of
that
because
people
just
wanted
to
go
and
enjoy
yourself
and
let
their
hair
down.
That’s
when
we
did
have
hair!
and
all
come
together
under
one
roof
whether
it
be
in
a
warehouse
or
a
nightclub
or
a
function
room,
and
everybody
was
in
on
the
on
the
same,
you
know,
like
even
playing
field.
Enjoying
their
selves
and
having
a
great
time
and
meeting
new
friends
and
…
the
amount
of
people
that
I
met
through
all
….
all
them
eras…
you
know,
I’m
still
friends
with
people
now.
…
A
great
time,
you
know
meeting
people
and
people
you
never
probably
meet
that
sort
of
brought
a
lot
of
goodness
to
it
and
and
Blackburn
was
a
big
hub
for
it….
was
a
great
place
was
Blackburn.

Em,
what’s
what
do
you
have
any
…
negative
memories
about
it?
And
what
are
they?
I
think
for
me
the
negative
side
of
it
was
because
I
was
living
on
the
frontline
at
…
…
Edge
Street
where
Shack
and
Tommy
and
I
lived
and
a
few
of
our
friends
also
lived
on
the
street.
We
had
quite
a
lot
of
police
presence
and
police
harassment
quite
early
on
at
the…
in
the
parties
…
you
know,
even
though
a
lot
of
other
people
felt
them
later
on
in
the
parties
when
they
were
really
big…
we
felt
them
quite
early
on
really
I
mean
the
presence
wasn’t
that
severe
at
first,
but
it
was
still
there
and
it
was
uncomfortable.
You
know,
you
go
to
the
shop
for
a
pint
of
milk
and
somebody’d
…
stop
you
in
the
streets.
It’d
be
you
know,
it’d
be
a
police
man
asking
you
questions
and
you’d
…
very
early
on
we
were
harassed
really
They
wanted
us
to
know
they
were
there.
You
know,
like
I
know
that
there
were
they
broke
in
the
house
opposite
us
and
they
were
filming
us,
you
know,
you’ve
I
really
felt
infiltrated
from
very
early
on
I’d
get
about
3
producers
to
go
and
show
all
my
details
for
the
car
at
the
police
station
every
week
that
was
early
on
as
well.
But
you
weren’t
weren’t
breaking
any
laws
were
you?
no,
no,
but
I
think
they
knew
that
yeah,
they
knew
we
weren’t
breaking
any
laws.
So
they
were
just
trying
to
find
ways
of
stopping
it
as
good
as
they
could
you
know,
so
the
harassment
was
definitely
a
tactic
to
try…
I think
I think
you’re
right
so…
any
other
…
…
bad
things?
Bad
things
obviously
towards
the
end
of
the
parties
is
there
there
was
a
gangster
element
and
that
that
was
also
really
really
quite
scary.
I
remember
arriving
at
a
party
one
time
with
Tommy…
think
it
was
in
Great
Harwood
So
Christmas,
yeah.
Yeah
and
and
there
was
gangsters
they
taking
over
the
door
and
they
let
Tommy
in
but
they
wouldn’t
let
me
in
at
the
door.
They
kept
saying
I
wasn’t
with
him.
In
fact,
they
kept
telling
me
I
was
undercover
police
seriously
harassing
me
on
the
door.
I
wanted
to
cry,
you
know,
it
was
really
really
stressful
and
then
going
in
it
getting
in
that
party
finally
they
you
know,
they
were
just
winding
me
up
they
knew
I
weren’t…
they
knew
I
was
with
Tommy
and
just
you
know,
when
they
felt
like
it
just
went…
Go
on
then
get
in
now!
You
know
they were
really
horrible
people
these
guys
and
then
when
I
was
in
there,
it
was
just
like
being
in
hell
that
party
of
it
was
the
most
horrendous
atmosphere.
Mmm,
I heard a few
stories about that…
So
yeah
so
that
it
was
that
really
but,
you
know
early
on
there
wasn’t
any
you
know,
I
didn’t
have
any
bad
experiences
for
a
long
time.
The
parties
had
been
going
for
quite
a
while,
you
know
a
good
year
before
I
started
to
feel
any
negativity…
anything
horrible…

police
man
asking
you
questions
and
you’d
…
very
early
on
we
were
harassed
really
They
wanted
us
to
know
they
were
there.
You
know,
like
I
know
that
there
were
they
broke
in
the
house
opposite
us
and
they
were
filming
us,
you
know,
you’ve
I
really
felt
infiltrated
from
very
early
on
I’d
get
about
3
producers
to
go
and
show
all
my
details
for
the
car
at
the
police
station
every
week
that
was
early
on
as
well.
But
you
weren’t
weren’t
breaking
any
laws
were
you?
no,
no,
but
I
think
they
knew
that
yeah,
they
knew
we
weren’t
breaking
any
laws.
So
they
were
just
trying
to
find
ways
of
stopping
it
as
good
as
they
could
you
know,
so
the
harassment
was
definitely
a
tactic
to
try…
I think
I think
you’re
right
so…
any
other
…
…
bad
things?
Bad
things
obviously
towards
the
end
of
the
parties
is
there
there
was
a
gangster
element
and
that
that
was
also
really
really
quite
scary.
I
remember
arriving
at
a
party
one
time
with
Tommy…
think
it
was
in
Great
Harwood
So
Christmas,
yeah.
Yeah
and
and
there
was
gangsters
they
taking
over
the
door
and
they
let
Tommy
in
but
they
wouldn’t
let
me
in
at
the
door.
They
kept
saying
I
wasn’t
with
him.
In
fact,
they
kept
telling
me
I
was
undercover
police
seriously
harassing
me
on
the
door.
I
wanted
to
cry,
you
know,
it
was
really
really
stressful
and
then
going
in
it
getting
in
that
party
finally
they
you
know,
they
were
just
winding
me
up
they
knew
I
weren’t…
they
knew
I
was
with
Tommy
and
just
you
know,
when
they
felt
like
it
just
went…
Go
on
then
get
in
now!
You
know
they were
really
horrible
people
these
guys
and
then
when
I
was
in
there,
it
was
just
like
being
in
hell
that
party
of
it
was
the
most
horrendous
atmosphere.
Mmm,
I heard a few
stories about that…
So
yeah
so
that
it
was
that
really
but,
you
know
early
on
there
wasn’t
any
you
know,
I
didn’t
have
any
bad
experiences
for
a
long
time.
The
parties
had
been
going
for
quite
a
while,
you
know
a
good
year
before
I
started
to
feel
any
negativity…
anything
horrible…
…
