Hi,
my
name
is
Joe
and
I
put
the
sound
system
in
a
lot
of
the
acid
house
raves
in
Blackburn
in
89
and
90
I
got
involved
because
I
was
working
at a
place
called
Audio
Workshop
at
the
time,
which
used
to
build
amplifiers
and
build
speakers
and
they
used
to
do
clubs
installations.
And
basically
I
used
to,
I
used
to
rent
out
their
big
PA
because
they
didn’t
really
want
to
take
it
out,
the
guys,
the
guys
there
and
I
used
to
rent
it
and put
it in
clubs
and
do,
do
live
gigs
with
bands
usually.
I
met
Joules
at Audio
Workshop,
who
was
the
same
age
as
me.
He
lived
down
in
London
at the
time.
And
he’d
built
up
a
really
big
PA
and
he’d
changed
jobs
in
London
and
he’d
brought
his
PA
up
to
a
house
he
had
on
Hickory
Street
in
Blackburn.
And
so
I
started
hiring
this
PA
out
for
him
as
well
because
the
guys
in,
the
guys
in
Audio
Workshop
weren’t
that
keen
on
renting
theirs
out
without
going
out
with
it
kind
of
thing.
So
anyway,
some
guy
started
renting
a
PA
from
the
shop,
without
a
mixing
desk,
just
the
speakers
and
amplifiers,
for
a
place
called
Crackers
in
Blackburn
Town
centre.
And
I
used
to
go
down
there
and
set
it
up
for
em.
And
it was
acid
house
music
and
it
was,
it
was
amazing.
It
was an
amazing
place.
I’ve
never
seen
anything
like
it.
They
just
wanted
it
as
loud
as
possible
really
and
I
think
the
PA
took
about
quarter
of
the
room
up
in
Crackers.
It
was
so
loud
in
there,
it was
shaking the
building
apart.
And
I
thought
it
was
amazing.
I’d
never
really
seen
anything
like
it.
I
was
really
into
punk
music,
but
I
also
got
really
into
hip-hop
and
electro
as
well,
and
I’d
been
to,
I’d
been
to
study
at
School
of
Sound
Recording in
Manchester
the
year
before
and
I’d
learned
a
lot
about
recording
…
and
I
was
getting
really
into
it,
and
I
was
going
back
to
do
me
A
Levels
at
Blackburn
College,
but
I
was
already
looking
for
other
possibilities.
We
ended
up
going
to
Live
the
Dream
after
packing
up
Crackers
one
night
and
people
saying
oh
you
should
come
to
this.
There’s
this
really
big
event
on
and it’s
in
Blackburn.
I
saw
the
tickets
advertised
but
I
presumed
it
was
going
to
be
out
of
town.
So
we’ve
got
a
lift
up
to
this
Live
the
Dream
which
was
2
enormous
tents
with
…
no
3
tents, with
enormous
PA’s
in.
They
had
2
house
tents
and
they
had
this
alternative
music
tent
which
was
more
my
scene
at
the
time.
But
I
saw
this
event
and it
was
just
phenomenal.
I’ve
never
seen
anything
like
it
in
Blackburn.
Well
from
then
on
I
really
wanted
to
get
involved
because
they
were
doing
these
parties
every
week
not
as
big
as
Live
the
Dream
but
they
were
doing
them
locally.
So
I
think
it
was
2
weeks
after,
we’re
renting
the
Audio
Workshop
PA
down
to
Crackers
and
we
had
Joules’s
PA.
We
had
no
gigs
on
that
weekend,
so
I
got
in
touch
with,
through
a
friend,
to
somebody
who
was
doing
the
sound
at
these
parties,
who
I’d
heard
was
doing
the
sound
at
these
parties
and they
didn’t
have
a
PA
that
night
and
they
rung
me,
it was
probably,
was
probably
about
10
o’clock
at
night
and
they
rung
me
up.
I
was
living
at
me
Mums
down
at
Lammack,
and
we
had,
we
had
the
PA
stored
down
there
at
Lammack,
…
on
Lammack
Road
in
the
garage.
And
they
said
…
can
you
provide
a
PA
for
the
party
tonight?
This is
like
a
couple
of
hours
before
it
was
meant
to
be
starting
and
I
said
oh,
yeah,
definitely.
So,
they sent
a van
round
because
we
didn’t
drive
at
the
time.
And
it
didn’t
fit
in
the
van.
It
didn’t
even
fit
with
two
trips
in
the
van.
There
was
still,
we
had
these
huge
bass
bins.
We
had
six
of
them
called
Thunderbolts.
Made
by
a
company
called
Vitavox.
…
…
And
they
managed
to
take
most
of
it
in
two
trips.
And
I
remember
there
was
a,
one
bass
bin
left.
Which
my
Dad
unbeknown
to
him,
gave
us
a
lift
in
his
Land
Rover
to
Glenfield
Park
near
Whitebirk
…
He
gave us
a
lift
with
the
last
bass
bin
and
he
dropped
it
off
there,
…
…
like
it’s
probably
about
1
in
the
morning
in
the
pitch-black
and,
he
knew,
he
knew
what we
were up to.
But
he
didn’t
seem
to
mind.
And
then
he
drove
home
and,
he
drove
home
to
Lammack
Road
and
sat
down
and had
dinner
with
Jack
straw.
