The

about
the
warehouse
generation
parties,
or whatever
you
want
to
call

The
only
bad
thing
about
it
was
it
ruined
me.
Meaning,
if
I
go
out
now,
and
ever

no

can
live
up

what
that

So
I
feel
disappointed
now
constantly
when
I

…
I’ve
walked
out
with
some
of
the
best
DJs
in
the

You
know,
a
night,
…
none
of
em…
Not
one
ever
since
those
warehouse
parties,
has
ever
made
me
feel
like
I
did
at
those.
…
Not
one,
ever.
I
mean
the
ones
I
do,
I’m
getting
there.
But
you
know,
5000
people
in
a
room.
Like
…
…
you
can
feel
each
other’s
presence.
D’ya
know
what I
mean.
Yeah.
It’s,
I
can’t,
you
can’t
explain
it,
what
it
is.
But
everybody
feels
the
same.
And
you’ve
only
got
to
look
at
somebody,
and
you
can
see
in
their
eyes
that
their
feeling
exactly
the
same
as
you.
There
was
no
trouble,
nothing,
nothing
at
all.
I
don’t
know
whether
that
was
to
do
with
no
beer,
whether
there
was
drugs
involved,
or
they
were
like
that
anyway,
I
think
drugs
neutralises
everybody.
It
takes
away
your
walls,
takes
everything
away.
It
makes
you
who
you
are
as
a
real
person,
and
that’s
what’s
left.
And
that’s
what
you
enjoy
that

With

Tell
us,
just
tell
us
your
best
memories
of
it
all.
We,
we
went
everywhere.
We
used
to
…
…
we
ended
up
going
the
Quad.
We
went
to
Legends
in
Warrington.
We
went
to
Life
at
Ballers
in,
when
it
was
in
Farnborough.
I
didn’t
have
many
episodes
to
Monroe’s
and
Sett
End,
we
mainly
just
met
there
for the
convoys,
you
couldn’t
really
get
in
anyway,
it
was,
it
was
full
by’
time
everybody
got
there.
…
Yeah,
I
mean,
what
I am
going
to
say
as
well…
I
was
in
the
Army
at
the
time,
which
I
can
see
you
looking
at
me
now,
yeah,
I
was
a
junior
Soldier.
Wow.
I’d
met
Gareth
just
before
I
went
in.
I
think
my
life
was
heading
that
way
anyway.
The
music
and
what not,
but
having
spent,
probably
the
first
year
in
the
junior
soldiers.
…
I
wanted
out,
you
know,
I’d
done,
this
wasn’t
for
me.
I
wasn’t
ready
to
die
for
me
country.
So
I
was
starting
to
really
get
into
the
music,
Adamski
was,
was
a
really
big
thing
for
me.
He
was,
he
was
the
main
one
…
that
I
really
listened
to.
I
started
getting
interested
in
writing
music
as
well.
That
was
building
up.
Got,
ended
up
doing
2
years
junior
…
and
then
off
to a
regular
in
Germany,
In
Otsee
I
were.
…
And
then
I
got,
I
got
thrown
out
for
substances,
which
I
was
glad
you
know,
I
needed
to
get
out,
I’d
done
me bit
for
Queen
and
Country
as
they
say.
I
am
a
believer
in
National
Service.
So,
I
think
they
do
a
lot
of
people
good.
So
yeah,
that
was,
that’s
how
it
started
and
I’ve
been
doing
it
ever
since.
I’ve
been
DJing
since
1989
at
certain
illegal
events.
All
around
Lancashire
…
and
all
over
I’ve
DJ’d
…
…
I
wouldn’t
say
a
lot
around
Europe,
but
I
have
done,
you
know,
some,
some
events.
I
am
organising
me
own,
and
I’m
still
doing
them
at
the
moment.
So,
I’m
not
going
to
say
I
were,
or
anything
like
that.
But
the
rules,
the
engagement
rules
of,
of
it,
are,
you
have
to
behave
at
the
party.
Everybody’s
vetted.
…
If
you
come
my
party
you
have
to
behave,
and
it
works.
Unbelievably
well,
you
know,
people
come,
they
bring
their
own
beer,
whatever
they
want
to
bring,
it
runs
all
night,
and
we
have
fun.
We
listen
to
it.
It’s
good,
we have
different
DJs
on,
local
DJs
had
a
few
famous
ones
on.
Been
doing
it,
probably
the
last
10
years.
Gotta
be
careful
you
you tell,
you
know,
what
they
tell,
that’s
why
everybody’s
vetted.
They come
at
1
they
know
how
it
works,
and
they,
they
can
vouch
for
whoever
they
want
to
bring.
I
say,
you
come
once,
you
can
bring
somebody
else
and
that’s
it.
…
So
that’s
…
that
what
Tommy
and
Tony
did
give
me
the
foundation,
the
knowledge
of,
of,
of
how
to
do
it.
Obviously
they
put
the
invites
out
everywhere,
I
don’t
you
know,
but
it
made
me,
you
know,
it
sorta
gave
me
a
skeleton
…
a
basic
knowledge
to
work
from.
Which
obviously
I’m
very
grateful
for
but
I
yeah,
I’ve
had
a
brilliant
time.

Simon.
Simon,
how
old
were
you
at
the
time?
I
was
17
years
old.
And
where
did
you
live
at
the
time?
Preston.
Okay.
Can
you
tell
us
how
you
got
involved?
I
went
on,
I
went
on
holiday
to
Greece.
Met
a
guy
called
Gareth.
Our
families
obviously,
you
know,
got
friendly
while
we
were
there.
It’s
just
one
of
them
holiday
sort
of
things,
you
know.
We
fortunately
stayed
in
contact
with
them
when
we
came
back
to
England.
He
invited
us
out
with
all
his
mates.
He
was
from
Wigan.
And
he
said…
Come
on,
we’re
all
going
out.
We’re
going
to
Wigan
Pier.
…
I’d
been
a
follower
of
sort
of,
break
dance,
Hip
Hop,
and
Electro
and
all
the
rest
of
it
before
that,
so
I
had
an idea
of what
I
was
going
to,
but
this
Wigan
Pier
night,
it
was
really
sort
of
kicking
off
at
the
time.
We
went
there.
He
said…
We’re
going
to
do
some
acid,
do you
want
in?
I
said,
yeah,
so
we
went
to
Wigan
Pier,
done
some
acid.
It
was…
it
was
a
mental
night.
I
think,
I
can’t
remember
…
the
DJs
name,
he was
a young
lad.
Anyhow,
they
had
word
that
there
was
something
going
on…
They
knew
about
the
parties
anyway,
and
they
said,
look
we’re
going
to
go
to
this
big
rave
up,
afterwards.
Well,
actually
they
didn’t
call
it
a
rave,
that
was
like
a
thing
that
came
afterwards.
It were
warehouse
party.
I
said…
Yeah,
let’s
go.
So
we
ended
up
in
some
convoys,
and
I
can
remember
the
first
one
we
went
to,
it
was
up
at
Simonstone,
opposite
an
ambulance
depot
up
there.
And
the
warehouse
is
still
actually
there.
But
the
images
I’ve
got
of
when
we
arrived,
is
steam
coming
out
of
all
the
doors,
there was
doors
open,
windows
open,
there
all
steamed
up.
There
was…
it
was
like
somebody
had
a
smoke
machine
inside,
and
there
was
that
much
smoke
coming
out.
There
was
no
heating
in
there.
So
it
was…
that
was
people’s
bodies
putting
out
that
heat.
We
walked
in,
it
was
just
full
of
people,
music,
lights,
dancing.
Remember
there
was an
old
Astra
van
in
there,
that
was
obviously
being
left
in
there
because
…
…
…
…
wether
it
was
used
or
not
as
a
warehouse,
I
don’t
know.
People
were
dancing
on
the
bonnet,
on
the
roof
and
everything.
It
was
just
absolutely
unbelievable.
So
yeah,
that
was,
that
was
the
first
one.
I know
exactly
which one
that
is.
Altham
Industrial
Estate.
Yeah.
Yeah,
I
know
exactly
who
had
rented
the
van
that
day,
…
and
had
to
take
it
back
to…
So,
you
know
the
guy
that
had
that
van,
that
got
trashed.
Yeah, it’s
even
worse
than
that
because
he’d
broken
the
key
inside.
That’s
why
it
was
stuck
in.
Right.
And
it
was
from
a
rental
company.
So
he
didn’t
want
to
leave
it
there.
It
was,
so
somebody
else said…
Don’t
worry,
I’ll
break
the
steering
lock
off,
and
actually
snapped
the
steering
wheel
off.
So
then it
was
really
stuck
in there.
Yeah,
so
that,
that
was,
yeah,
that
was,
that
was
the
first
one
…
Yeah,
it’s
probably
…
I
thought
it
was
…
88
that?
No,
it’s
definitely,
it’s
definitely
89
and
it was
about,
I
would
say…
September
October.
Right.
Yeah,
…
…
…
…
Yeah.
So
yeah,
that
was
one
that
the
television,
television
actually
came
to
film
it
and
…
…
…
they
wanted
some
shots
for
Granada
or whatever.
So
Simon,
that’s
how
you
got
involved.
Yeah.
That
was
your
way
in.
Tell
us,
just
tell
us
your
best
memories
of
it
all.
…
We
went
everywhere.
We
used
to
go,
we
ended
up
going
the
quad.
We
went
to
Legends
in
Warrington.
We
went
to
Life
at
Ballers
in,
when
it
was
in
Farnborough.
I
didn’t
have
many
episodes
to
Monroe’s
and
Sett
End,
we
mainly
just
met
there
for the
convoys.
You
couldn’t
really
get
in
anyway.
…
It
was,
it
was
full
by
time
everybody
got
there.
Yeah.
I
mean
what
I’m
going
to
say
as
well.
I
was
in
the
Army
at
the
time.
Which
I
can
see
you
looking
at
me
now…
yeah.
I
was
a
junior
Soldier.
Wow.
I’d
met
Gareth
just
before
I
went
in.
I
think
my
life
was
heading
that
way
anyway,
the
music
and
what not,
but
having
spent
probably
the
first
year
in
the
junior
soldiers.
I
wanted
out,
you
know,
I’d
done,
this
wasn’t
for
me
…
I
wasn’t
ready
to
die
for
my
country.
So
I
was
starting
to
really
get
into
the
music,
Adamski
was,
was
a
really
big
thing
for
me.
He
was,
he
was
the
main
one
that
I,
I
really
listened
to.
I
was
starting
getting
interested
in
writing
music
as
well.
That
was
building
up.
Got,
ended
up
doing
2
years
Junior
and
then
off to
a
regular
in
Germany,
In
Otsee
I
were.
…
And
then
I
got,
I
got
thrown
out
for
substances,
which
I
was
glad,
you
know,
I
needed
to
get
out.
I’d
done
me bit
for
Queen
and
Country
as
they
say.
I
am
a
believer
in
National
Service.
So,
I
think
I
did
a
lot
of
people
good.
So
yeah,
that
was,
that’s
how
it
started,
and
I’ve
been
doing
it
ever
since.
I’ve
been
DJing
since
1989
at
certain
illegal
events.
All
around
…
Lancashire
and
all
over
I’ve
DJ’d
…
I
wouldn’t
say
a
lot
around
Europe,
but
I
have
done,
you
know,
some,
some
events.
I
am
organising
me
own,
and
I’m
still
doing
them
at
the
moment.
So
I’m
not
going
to
say
I
were,
or
anything
like
that.
But,
the
rules,
the
engagement
rules
of,
of
it.
Are
you
have
to
behave
at
the
party,
everybody’s
vetted,
…
if
you,
if
you come
my
party
you
have
to
behave.
And
it
works.
Unbelievably.
well.
You
know,
people
come,
they
bring
their
own
beer,
whatever
they
want
to
bring.
It
runs
all
night,
and
we
have
fun.
We
listen
to
it.
It’s
good,
we have
different
DJs
on,
local
DJs,
had
a
few
famous
ones
on.
Been
doing
it,
probably
the
last
10
years.
Got
to
be
careful
who
you
tell,
you
know,
what
they
tell,
that’s
why
everybody’s
vetted.
They
come at
1
They
know
how
it
works,
and
they,
they
can
vouch
f’whoever
they
want
to
bring.
I
tell,
you
come
once,
you
can
bring
somebody
else
and
that’s
it.
So
that’s,
that
…
what
…
Tommy
and
Tony
did
give
me
the
foundation,
the
knowledge
of
how
to
do
it.
Obviously
they
put
the
invites
out
everywhere,
I
don’t,
you
know,
but
it
made
me,
you
know,
it
sorta
gave
me
a
skeleton,
certainly
a
basic
knowledge
to
work
from.
Which
obviously
I’m
very
grateful
for
but
I
yeah,
I’ve
had
a
brilliant
time.
I’m
going
to
say
one
thing
though…
The
only
bad
thing
about
the
warehouse
generation
parties,
whatever
you
want
to
call
it.
The
only
bad
thing
about
it
was…
it
ruined
me.
Meaning,
if
I
go
out
now,
and
ever
since,
no
night
can
live
up
to
what
that
was.
So
I
feel
disappointed
now,
constantly
when
I
go
out.
If
I
…
I’ve
walked
out
with
the
best
DJ’s
in
the
world.
You
know,
a
night
…
none
of
em.
Not
one
ever
since
those
warehouse
parties
…
has
ever
made
me
feel
like
I
did
at
those,
not
one
ever.
…
I
mean
the
ones
I
do,
I’m
getting
there,
but
you
know
5000
people
in
a
room,
like
…
…
you
could
feel
each
other’s
presence.
Do y’know
what
I
mean?
Yeah.
It’s,
I
can’t,
you
can’t
explain
it
what
it
is.
But
everybody
feels
the
same
and
you’ve
only
got
to
look
at
somebody
and
you
can
see
in
their
eyes
that
their
feeling
exactly
the
same
as
you.
There
was
no
trouble,
nothing,
nothing
at
all.
I
don’t
know
whether
that
was
to
do
with,
no
beer.
Whether
there
was
drugs
involved.
Or
they
were
like
that
anyway.
I
think
drugs
neutralises
everybody.
It
takes
away
your
walls,
it takes
everything
away.
It
makes
you
who
you
are
as
a
real
person.
And
that’s
what’s
left.
And
that’s
what
you
enjoy
that
night.
With
no,
no,
whatever
troubles
you’ve
got…
they’ve
gone,
nothing.
You’re there
as
a
blank
person
and
you’re
enjoying
what’s
going
on
at
that
moment.
You’ve
talked
really
brilliantly
about
it,
and
you’ve
touched
on
…
you
came
out
of
the
army
but
have
you
got
any
dark
memories
associated
with
those times?
And
were
there
any
incidents
that
you
look back
and think…
That
wasn’t,
that
wasn’t
to
clever?
No.
No,
my
life’s
gone
quite
well
actually
since
everybody
else,
you
know,
up
and
downs.
I’m
now
diabetic
type
1
Which
whether
that
was
to do
with taking
LSD,
I
don’t
know.
I
doubt
it
very
much
because
the
tell-tale
signs
that
I
have…
they
started
when
I
left
school.
So
that
wasn’t
a
time
when
I
was
taking
drugs
so
…
they
say
you
have
it
10
years
before
they
find
it
and
I
did,
so…
No,
no
bad
points.
We’re
building
an
archive.
I’m
I’m
interested
in
working
class
stories
from
the
North
particularly
that
took
place
in
these
warehouses
and
mills
over
a
few
100
years.
We’re
30
years
on
from
the
parties
now,
that,
from
the
parties,
the
warehouse
parties
that
you’ve
talked
about.
…
I
like
the
idea
that,
like
our
Mitchell
and
Kenyon
archive,
we
can
see
people
from
Blackburn
100
years
ago.
I
like
the
idea
of
some
kids
in
Blackburn
listening
to
the,
listening
to
you
…
telling
your
stories
in
another
100
years
time.
What
d’ya
wanna
say
to ’em?
Be
yourself.
If
you
want
to
be
creative,
don’t
let
anybody
else
tell
you
otherwise,
even
your
parents.
You’re
all
individual
people.
Some
things
won’t
become
apparent
when
you’re
young.
But
you’ll
get
little
tell-tale
signs.
You
need
to
stick
with
them
thoughts,
and
go
with
that.
You
know,
…
even,
even
like
say
your
parents,
if
they
try
to
you
know,
put
you
on
a
different
path.
You
have
to
go
by
what
you
feel.
My
parents
were
not
into
music,
not
into
anything
how
I…
how I’ve
turned
out.
My
Dad
was
a
plumber,
so
I
ended
up
being
a
plumber.
That’s
probably
the
only
thing
that’s,
that’s
carried
through.
Yeah,
just
be
yourself.
Full Transcript:
Simon.
Simon,
how
old
were
you
at
the
time?
I
was
17
years
old.
And
where
did
you
live
at
the
time?
Preston.
Okay.
Can
you
tell
us
how
you
got
involved?
I
went
on,
I
went
on
holiday
to
Greece.
Met
a
guy
called
Gareth.
Our
families
obviously,
you
know,
got
friendly
while
we
were
there.
It’s
just
one
of
them
holiday
sort
of
things,
you
know.
We
fortunately
stayed
in
contact
with
them
when
we
came
back
to
England.
He
invited
us
out
with
all
his
mates.
He
was
from
Wigan.
And
he
said…
Come
on,
we’re
all
going
out.
We’re
going
to
Wigan
Pier.
…
I’d
been
a
follower
of
sort
of,
break
dance,
Hip
Hop,
and
Electro
and
all
the
rest
of
it
before
that,
so
I
had
an idea
of what
I
was
going
to,
but
this
Wigan
Pier
night,
it
was
really
sort
of
kicking
off
at
the
time.
We
went
there.
He
said…
We’re
going
to
do
some
acid,
do you
want
in?
I
said,
yeah,
so
we
went
to
Wigan
Pier,
done
some
acid.
It
was…
it
was
a
mental
night.
I
think,
I
can’t
remember
…
the
DJs
name,
he was
a young
lad.
Anyhow,
they
had
word
that
there
was
something
going
on…
They
knew
about
the
parties
anyway,
and
they
said,
look
we’re
going
to
go
to
this
big
rave
up,
afterwards.
Well,
actually
they
didn’t
call
it
a
rave,
that
was
like
a
thing
that
came
afterwards.
It were
warehouse
party.
I
said…
Yeah,
let’s
go.
So
we
ended
up
in
some
convoys,
and
I
can
remember
the
first
one
we
went
to,
it
was
up
at
Simonstone,
opposite
an
ambulance
depot
up
there.
And
the
warehouse
is
still
actually
there.
But
the
images
I’ve
got
of
when
we
arrived,
is
steam
coming
out
of
all
the
doors,
there was
doors
open,
windows
open,
there
all
steamed
up.
There
was…
it
was
like
somebody
had
a
smoke
machine
inside,
and
there
was
that
much
smoke
coming
out.
There
was
no
heating
in
there.
So
it
was…
that
was
people’s
bodies
putting
out
that
heat.
We
walked
in,
it
was
just
full
of
people,
music,
lights,
dancing.
Remember
there
was an
old
Astra
van
in
there,
that
was
obviously
being
left
in
there
because
…
…
…
…
wether
it
was
used
or
not
as
a
warehouse,
I
don’t
know.
People
were
dancing
on
the
bonnet,
on
the
roof
and
everything.
It
was
just
absolutely
unbelievable.
So
yeah,
that
was,
that
was
the
first
one.
I know
exactly
which one
that
is.
Altham
Industrial
Estate.
Yeah.
Yeah,
I
know
exactly
who
had
rented
the
van
that
day,
…
and
had
to
take
it
back
to…
So,
you
know
the
guy
that
had
that
van,
that
got
trashed.
Yeah, it’s
even
worse
than
that
because
he’d
broken
the
key
inside.
That’s
why
it
was
stuck
in.
Right.
And
it
was
from
a
rental
company.
So
he
didn’t
want
to
leave
it
there.
It
was,
so
somebody
else said…
Don’t
worry,
I’ll
break
the
steering
lock
off,
and
actually
snapped
the
steering
wheel
off.
So
then it
was
really
stuck
in there.
Yeah,
so
that,
that
was,
yeah,
that
was,
that
was
the
first
one
…
Yeah,
it’s
probably
…
I
thought
it
was
…
88
that?
No,
it’s
definitely,
it’s
definitely
89
and
it was
about,
I
would
say…
September
October.
Right.
Yeah,
…
…
…
…
Yeah.
So
yeah,
that
was
one
that
the
television,
television
actually
came
to
film
it
and
…
…
…
they
wanted
some
shots
for
Granada
or whatever.
So
Simon,
that’s
how
you
got
involved.
Yeah.
That
was
your
way
in.
Tell
us,
just
tell
us
your
best

of

…
We

We

we

Yeah.
I
mean
what
I’m
going

as

I
was
in
the

at
the

Which
I
can
see
you
looking
at
me
now…
yeah.
I
was
a
junior
Soldier.
Wow.
I’d
met
Gareth
just
before
I

I

my

what
they
tell,
that’s
why
everybody’s
vetted.
They
come at
1
They
know
how
it
works,
and
they,
they
can
vouch
f’whoever
they
want
to
bring.
I
tell,
you
come
once,
you
can
bring
somebody
else
and
that’s
it.
So
that’s,
that
…
what
…
Tommy
and
Tony
did
give
me
the
foundation,
the
knowledge
of
how
to
do
it.
Obviously
they
put
the
invites
out
everywhere,
I
don’t,
you
know,
but
it
made
me,
you
know,
it
sorta
gave
me
a
skeleton,
certainly
a
basic
knowledge
to
work
from.
Which
obviously
I’m
very
grateful
for
but
I
yeah,
I’ve
had
a
brilliant
time.
I’m
going
to
say
one
thing
though…
The
only
bad
thing
about
the
warehouse
generation
parties,
whatever
you
want
to
call
it.
The
only
bad
thing
about
it
was…
it
ruined
me.
Meaning,
if
I
go
out
now,
and
ever
since,
no
night
can
live
up
to
what
that
was.
So
I
feel
disappointed
now,
constantly
when
I
go
out.
If
I
…
I’ve
walked
out
with
the
best
DJ’s
in
the
world.
You
know,
a
night
…
none
of
em.
Not
one
ever
since
those
warehouse
parties
…
has
ever
made
me
feel
like
I
did
at
those,
not
one
ever.
…
I
mean
the
ones
I
do,
I’m
getting
there,
but
you
know
5000
people
in
a
room,
like
…
…
you
could
feel
each
other’s
presence.
Do y’know
what
I
mean?
Yeah.
It’s,
I
can’t,
you
can’t
explain
it
what
it
is.
But
everybody
feels
the
same
and
you’ve
only
got
to
look
at
somebody
and
you
can
see
in
their
eyes
that
their
feeling
exactly
the
same
as
you.
There
was
no
trouble,
nothing,
nothing
at
all.
I
don’t
know
whether
that
was
to
do
with,
no
beer.
Whether
there
was
drugs
involved.
Or
they
were
like
that
anyway.
I
think
drugs
neutralises
everybody.
It
takes
away
your
walls,
it takes
everything
away.
It
makes
you
who
you
are
as
a
real
person.
And
that’s
what’s
left.
And
that’s
what
you
enjoy
that
night.
With
no,
no,
whatever
troubles
you’ve
got…
they’ve
gone,
nothing.
You’re there
as
a
blank
person
and
you’re
enjoying
what’s
going
on
at
that
moment.
You’ve
talked
really
brilliantly
about
it,
and
you’ve
touched
on
…
you
came
out
of
the
army
but
have
you
got
any
dark
memories
associated
with
those times?
And
were
there
any
incidents
that
you
look back
and think…
That
wasn’t,
that
wasn’t
to
clever?
No.
No,
my
life’s
gone
quite
well
actually
since
everybody
else,
you
know,
up
and
downs.
I’m
now
diabetic
type
1
Which
whether
that
was
to do
with taking
LSD,
I
don’t
know.
I
doubt
it
very
much
because
the
tell-tale
signs
that
I
have…
they
started
when
I
left
school.
So
that
wasn’t
a
time
when
I
was
taking
drugs
so
…
they
say
you
have
it
10
years
before
they
find
it
and
I
did,
so…
No,
no
bad
points.
We’re
building
an
archive.
I’m
I’m
interested
in
working
class
stories
from
the
North
particularly
that
took
place
in
these
warehouses
and
mills
over
a
few
100
years.
We’re
30
years
on
from
the
parties
now,
that,
from
the
parties,
the
warehouse
parties
that
you’ve
talked
about.
…
I
like
the
idea
that,
like
our
Mitchell
and
Kenyon
archive,
we
can
see
people
from
Blackburn
100
years
ago.
I
like
the
idea
of
some
kids
in
Blackburn
listening
to
the,
listening
to
you
…
telling
your
stories
in
another
100
years
time.
What
d’ya
wanna
say
to ’em?
Be
yourself.
If
you
want
to
be
creative,
don’t
let
anybody
else
tell
you
otherwise,
even
your
parents.
You’re
all
individual
people.
Some
things
won’t
become
apparent
when
you’re
young.
But
you’ll
get
little
tell-tale
signs.
You
need
to
stick
with
them
thoughts,
and
go
with
that.
You
know,
…
even,
even
like
say
your
parents,
if
they
try
to
you
know,
put
you
on
a
different
path.
You
have
to
go
by
what
you
feel.
My
parents
were
not
into
music,
not
into
anything
how
I…
how I’ve
turned
out.
My
Dad
was
a
plumber,
so
I
ended
up
being
a
plumber.
That’s
probably
the
only
thing
that’s,
that’s
carried
through.
Yeah,
just
be
yourself.

How

If I

I

I
was
DJing
at

I

then.
And
then
obviously
we
were
talking
about
it
and
things
were
happening.
And
I
think
someone
just
mentioned
Live
the
Dream
and
that,
…
…
that
happened
a
few
weeks
ago,
and
just
decided
one
night
that
we’d
have
a
trip
out
to
the
Sett
End.
And
that
was
maybe,
I
was
sort
of
like…
Yeah,
this
is
for
me.
Where
were
you
DJing
at the
time?
Yutick’s
…
Nest.
Which
was…
on
Pringle

On
Pringle

Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah,
it
were
sort
of
like
bar
stroke
nightclub.
That’s
right…
If
you can…
a
function
room
on
the
side
of
a
pub.
Great.
Yeah.
So
you
went
along to
Sett
End
and
what
do
you
see?
Just
basically
hundreds
of
cars
parked
outside.
Yeah
and
a packed
club,
obviously
it weren’t
that
big
like
were it?
So,
Sett
End
would
be
about
300
people
or something,
but
rammed
to
the
hill,
and
yeah,
just
got
involved
that
way
really.
So
you
got
in
there
that
night?
Yeah,
because
a
lot
of
people
said
they
had real
trouble…
they
never
actually
made
it
in…
Oh
right…
a lot
of people
who
I’ve
interviewed.
Yeah.
No,
no
I
got
in
there.
That
was
the early
days
wasn’t
it,
that
must
be
probably…
September,
October
89?
I
yeah,
yeah,
It
were
89
because,
yeah.
And
did
you
go
straight
to
a

afterwards?
Did
you
go
a

We
didn’t
actually.
…
Which
one
were the
first
party
I
went
to…
What
do
you
remember
about
that
party?
Crazy.
Obviously,
you

tried
a

Yeah,
which
I’d
never

And
what
I
remember

really,
it
was

Getting

Daylight…
etc
But
just
thinking…
Bloody
hell
that
was
something
that,
you

I’ve
never
seen
before.
So
you were
hooked
from
that
time.
Yeah,
yeah
I was,
to

That
was

It

you

It
kind

changed,
well
you,
you
after
that
started

and
stuff
didn’t
you?
And…
Yeah,
I
mean,
yeah,
I
mean
…
we
made
a

little

Yeah.
After

That
was

Yeah.
Yeah,
to

clubs
that,
I

that
was

to
try

make
it
legal,
you

and
enjoy
this
sort

you
know
it,

No
I didn’t
see anything.
Obviously,
you
know
the

Yeah,
it
was

were

It
didn’t

not

we
were

weren’t
that
big
like
were it?
so
Sett
End
will
be
about
300
people…
something
but
rammed
to
the
hill
and
yeah
just
got
involved
that
way
really
So
you
got
in
there
that
night?
Yeah.
Cos
a
lot
of
people
said
they
had
real
trouble
getting
never
actually
made it
into
pub.
Oh
right.
Lot of
people
who we
have
interviewed.
Yeah.
No.
No,
I
got
in
yeah.
That
was
early
days
something
like
that
must
be
probably
September
October
89
Yeah,
yeah.
Yeah.
it were
89
cos…
Yeah,
and
did
you
go
straight
to
a
party
afterwards
did you
go
to
a
party?
We
did
actually
which
one
the
first
party
I
went
to.
What
do
you
remember
about
that
party?
Crazy…
obviously
you
know
tried
a
substance.
Yeah?
Yeah which
I’ve
never
really
done
before
and
what
I
remember
of
the
night
real
it
was
crazy,
you
know.
getting
home
in
morning
daylight
etc.
But
just
thinking
bloody
hell
that
was
something
that
you
know,
I’ve
never
seen
before
So
you
hooked
from
that
time?
Yeah.
Yeah
I was
to
be
honest.
That
was
it.
It
was
sort
of
like,
you
know,
couldn’t
wait
for
the
next
weekend
to
be
honest
and
see
what
were
happening
so
obviously
I’d travel
off
to
work
Saturday
night
open,
you
know,
there
was
somet’
going
on?
What
would
you
say
is
your
best
memory
about
it
all
can…
can
you
pinpoint
anything
or
a
couple
of
em?
There were
I
think…
I
think
they’re
all
good
memories
to
be
honest
because
it
was
just
a
scene
that
you
know
for
me.
I
wanted
to
be in
so,
you
know,
obviously
become
friends
with
people
and
that’s
what
happened…
it
was
just
sort
of
like,
you
know,
we
were
gathering
every
week.
The
next
question
is
of
course
do
you
have
any
negative
memories?
No,
no,
not
at all
I’ve
got
no
negative
about
it.
It
doesn’t
you
know
done anything
catastrophic
to
me
life,
or
you
know,
It
can
to
change.
Well
you…
you
after
that
started
renting
PA’s out
and
stuff
didn’t
you?
and
yeah,
I
mean,
yeah,
I
mean..
we
made
a
little…
little…
little
business
out
of
it.
Yeah
after
the
party
scene
obviously
bought
a
PA
system.
That
was
some
legal
clubs.
Yeah.
Yeah,
…
wi’ legal
clubs
it
I
mean
that
was
the
next
step
for
it.
Wasn’t
it
to
try
and
make
it
legal,
you
know,
and
enjoy.
This
sort
of
dancing
and
etc…
etc
into
clubs.
Sure.
Yeah,
and
it
happened
for
many
years.
I
mean,
I
think
you
know,
in
yourself
doing
it
for
what
4
or
5
years…
often.
So,
you
know
it
to
be
further
that
was
a
good
positive
that
come
out
of
the
back
of
it.
Nothing
really
nice.
No
nothing
see
anything
bad.
I
didn’t
see
anything.
Obviously,
you
know
the
police
involvement
and
everything
else.
Yeah
it
was illegal
you
know
also,
you
know,
what
are
we
breaking
any law?
We’re
not
breaking
the
law.
It
didn’t
see
much
of
a
problem…
So
no,
no
not
at
all
and
we
were
kids,
you
know,
we
were
teenagers
way,
you
know
exactly
so
it
was
something
different
at
the
time…
didn’t
go
in…
I
don’t
know
normality.
If
you
don’t
I
mean
it
wer’
better
than
normality
weren’t
at
the
time.
So
yeah.
If
a
teenager
was
to
come
across
this
archive
research
in
Blackburn
and
researching
that’s
enough
parties
from
100
years
ago.
What
message
would
you
have
for
them?
You
think
well,
if
anything
happened
wit’
the
parties
I
would
definitely
be
gettin’
involved…
you
know,
it
opened
your
eyes
to
different
things
in
life.
Yeah
and
just
go
out
and
enjoy
yourself.
Yeah,
and
don’t
make
trouble.
