Sorry

So
where
where
were
you
finding
out
about

It
was
just
through

thought
I
could
do
wiv
a bit
of that
What were the
first

I
don’t

when
I’ve
spoke
to
people…
they
said
it
was
Ewood
Mills
there’d
been
2
Ewood
Mills
ones.
it
it
wasn’t
It
wasn’t
the
Christmas
one.
It
was
the
earlier
one.
Mine
was
Sett
End
Road
the
old
Post
Office
unit….
they’d
literally
just
finished
building.
There
was
still
a
JCB
in
it,
and
if
you
look
at
the
the
video
footage
you
can
always
tell
if
it’s
that
one
inside
because
there’s
a JCB
you
can’t
see
it
because
there’s about
15 people
on it
and
we
were
sort
of
if
you
could
get
good
video
footage
of
it…
you can
actually
see
me
an’
about
15
of
the
lads
from
Ozzie
all
stood at
side
of
it
where
it
were…
So
you
knew
it
was
that
building…
So
good
times…
For
me
….
without
a
doubt.
….
Yeah,
you
want
to
know
memories
they’d
be
very
vague.
It
wasn’t
so
much
about…
it
was…
it
was
just
it
was
just
the
anticipation.
Just
just
getting
in
the
convoy
which
was
a
fantastic
buzz
anyway,
and
if
you
got
into
the
party
bonus,
if
you
didn’t
people
just
played
music
outside
had a
dance
outside,
you
know,
everybody
just…
it
was
just
like
a
coming
together
of
everybody…
was
really
like
a
big
union
when
we
pulled
up to
get
parked
outside
Sett
End
or
Monroe’s
we
couldn’t
get
to
park
there
were
just
cars
all
like
playing..
you’d
be
walking
past
people
with
household
speakers
int’
boot
all
the
car
wired up
up
to
car
stereos.
Remember
them
big
black
square
things
you
know
what
I
mean?
Your
mum’d
go mad
if she
found
out…
but
but
yeah,
and
and
that
were
the way
party
starter
you’ve
been
you
been
the
lash
all
day.
You’ve
been
to
a
nightclub.
You’re
not
gonna
finish
at
12
o’clock
you’d…
we
used
to
walk
from
Ozzie
to
Monroe’s
er
Accy
to
Monroe’s
or
or
Sett
End
wherever
And
that’s
where
it
started
you
get
outside…
cars’d
be
there
and
that
were
it…
but
you
had
to
be
on
the
ball
for
a
lift…
Anybody’d
give
ye
a
lift…
didn’t
matter
colour
race
whatever…
somebody’d
just
say
d’ya
want
a
lift?
And
get
ye’ te’
party
and
it’s
just…
that’s
what
it
were…
it
really wer’
a union
of
people
like
How
long
did
it go on for
for you lot then?
Well it
never
really
is
never
really
stopped
really
you…
I’m
still
doing..
I’m
clocking
on
50
and
I
still
go
out
and
party
and
have
a
good
time.
Yeah.
Recovery
is
a
bit
longer
now
takes
about
a
week
to
recover
but
I
still
like
to
party
yeah.
I
love
I
loved
I’ve
always
been
into
electronic
music
from
the
early
Hip
Hop
Electro’s
and
you
know
all
the
electronic
stuff
and
it
just
blossomed
for
me.
Just
a
hangover
afterwards
because
it’s
a
hangover
now.
Apart
from…
apart
from
the
hangover…
have you
have you any
dark
memories
from
the
time?
Yes.
I
have
got
a
very
dark …
it
is…
it
looking
back
no.
it
was
quite
dark
actually.
I
think
I spoke
to
you
about it
before…
it
was
Ewood
Mills
I
think
and
how
to
get
in
you
have
to
climb
over
like
this
is
like
a
floorboards…
an’
they
were all
taken
up
to…
all
you
had
was
like
the
beams
and
everybody
was
being
squashed…
and
you
couldn’t
see
these
beams.
So
you
will
basically
like
tripping
over
and
you
were
nearly
falling
over
but you
couldn’t
fall
over
because
there’s
too
many
people
in
front
of
you,
but
I
just
remember
this
time
when
we
were
given…
we’d
been
pushed
crammed
and seeing this
teenage
girl
being
lifted
over
and
carried
out
because
she’d
been
crushed
and
collapsed
and
she
got
carried
out.
You
know,
that
was
quite
a
vivid
memory
for
me
that
but
we
still
carried
on
going
in
and
wanted
to
get
in
you
know,
no
fear,
you know.
But
yeah,
that
was
a dark
memory
for
me.
Yeah,
but
you
gotta
remember
them
parties
you
walk
into
a
warehouse
no
matter
how
many
people
go
in…
as
soon
as
you
go
in…
everybody
in there’s
your
best
mate.
No
matter
what.
You
know,
there’s
not
gonna
be
any
trouble…
you
know
it.
So
if owt’
went
wrong…
somebody
would
look
after
you
and
that’s
just
the way
it were
so
at
the
time
you
had
all
the
football
hooligans
fighting
each
other
on
a
Saturday
morning
at
football
but
at
night
they’ve
be
in
in
same
warehouse
with
each
other
all
loved
up
with
each
other
not
causing
a
problem
looking
out
for
each
other.
Which
were
a
good
thing
that.
I
think
the
country
needed
it
at
time.
So,
what
did
you
both
go on
to
do
after,
did
it
change
what
you
did
in
your
lives?
after
F******g
kids
f*****
it
up
for
me.
Sorry…
I
mean..
I
mean
wife
wife
got
pregnant…
(Laughs)
See
I
was
a
late
starter.
I
didn’t
have
children
till
later
on
in
life.
So
all
the
way
through
my
20s.
Yeah.
I
just
used
to
go
and
party
spend
all
my
money
partying
going…
obviously
the
scene
changed
a
little
bit
because
everything
went
into
proper
clubs
so it did
get
a
bit
heavy
sometimes
a
little
bit
with
the
bouncers
and stuff.
But
it’s
just
good
to
see
there’s
a
revival
going
on
at
the
moment
and
there’s
still
illegal
parties
going
on
and
I
have
frequented
1
or
2
later
on
in
life.
But
yeah,
it’s
changed
me…
my
whole
perception
on
life.
Really
because
before…
when
before
we
set
off
to
go
to
these
parties
at
night
like
Sigi
was
saying
it
was
like
a
double
persona
for
me
because
I
worked
in
a
pub
where
I
just
had
to
wear
a
dickie
bow
dickie
bow
tie
and a
waistcoat
and
be
this
you
know
pillar
of
society
person,
would
say
for
people
behind
the
bar
and
then
as
soon
as
soon
as
we
finished
work
half
past
11
i’d get
changed
into
a
completely
different
set
of
clothes
and
off
I
went
you
know,
so
I
had
this
double
life
going
on,
you
know,
and
then
I
had
to
get
and
go
back
to
work
Sunday
morning…
after
I’ve
been
partying…
to
go
back
into
this
persona
again
this
different
life.
It
was…
it
was…
weird
really
quite
weird.
It
was
such
an
iconic
thing.
You
talk
to
a
lot
of
people
who
went
to
parties… ask ’em
what’s
best
part
of
your
life?
It’s
b******s
when
I
say
watching
me kid
being born!
In
our
lives
it
really
was
the
Acid
House
days.
It
happened
30
years
ago
and
it’s
still
happening
now
and
the
people
that
were
raiding
warehouses
30
years
ago
are
still
doing
it
now.
So
it
says
something
We’re
granddad
ravers
now.
Yeah
OAP’s
ravers
that’s
what
we
are.
We’ve
a
T-shirt
made
up
and
everything
It’s
they…
were
brilliant
times.
And
the
first
thing
I
did
when
I
met
Tony
met
Tommy,
I’ve
only
known
Tony
there
for
4
years
or
so
was
thank him
for
them
days.
And
he’s
such
a
humble
guy
he’d
say
we
never
made
the
parties.
You
made
the
parties…
and
he
said…
yeah
I
said
how
many
people
have
come
up to you
and
said
thanks
for
them
days
back
then?
And
he’ll
say
it
weren’t
me
that
made
it
it were
you
lot
that
made
it…
you
know.
So
it
were
a
big
thing.
It’s
going
in an
archive
and
I
like to think
that
it’s
about
some kid in
100
years
some kid from
Blackburn
in
a
100
years…
Yeah…
…listening
to
people,
you
know
kids
from
Blackburn
telling
those
stories…
Yeah.
Yeah.
So
as
a
kid
listening
to
this
in
100
years
from
Blackburn
what
do
you
want
to say?
Live it
large.
Just
do
it.
Just
do
it
yourself
Grab
it
grab
it
while
you’re
young.
Grab
it
while
you
can,
just
cos’
them
days
finished
for
us
doesn’t
mean
it’s
going
to
finish
for
you.
Like
after….
after
we
did
our
raves…
scene
it
seemed
to
take
off
in
Ibiza
and
it’s
just
rolled
on
and
rolled
down
and
rolled
on…
the
parties
are
still
happening
now
30
years
after
people
are
doing
these
spin-off
parties…
fair
enough
they’re
not
illegal
raves
and
stuff
like
that
like
they
were
back
then.
But
just
enjoy
it
I
got
I
work
with
a
lad
who’s
DJ…
who
worked
with me
and his dad
DJ’s
at
Monroe’s
I
just
met him by
coincidence.
I
started
working…
with
talking
to
him
about
it
and
he
started
going to
some
now
watching
his
dad
DJ
at
these
parties.
He
said
he’d never
seen
his
dad
play
before
he
didn’t
know
who
he
was…
such
an
iconic
figure
back
in
the
day,
you
know,
and
it
is…
an
and
that’s
Gilly.
You
know,
I
mean,
his
sons
21
22
to
someone
and
he’s
he’s
loving
it
goes
to
all
of
them
now.
I’d
like
to
think
in
a
100
years
time.
I
mean,
there’s
nothing
touched
it
has
there
music-wise
and
i’d like to
think
in
a
100
years
time
something
changes
and
happens
like
you
did
back
then
because
it’s
you
know,
it
was
a
massive
change
in
shifting
society
and
people’s
outlook
on
the…
outlook
on
life
really.
So
yeah,
I’d
like
to
think
that…
there’d be
something
big
again…
that
happens
to
another
generation
basically.

an’
they
were all
taken
up
to…
all
you
had
was
like
the
beams
and
everybody
was
being
squashed…
and
you
couldn’t
see
these
beams.
So
you
will
basically
like
tripping
over
and
you
were
nearly
falling
over
but you
couldn’t
fall
over
because
there’s
too
many
people
in
front
of
you,
but
I
just
remember
this
time
when
we
were
given…
we’d
been
pushed
crammed
and seeing this
teenage
girl
being
lifted
over
and
carried
out
because
she’d
been
crushed
and
collapsed
and
she
got
carried
out.
You
know,
that
was
quite
a
vivid
memory
for
me
that
but
we
still
carried
on
going
in
and
wanted
to
get
in
you
know,
no
fear,
you know.
But
yeah,
that
was
a dark
memory
for
me.
Yeah,
but
you
gotta
remember
them
parties
you
walk
into
a
warehouse
no
matter
how
many
people
go
in…
as
soon
as
you
go
in…
everybody
in there’s
your
best
mate.
No
matter
what.
You
know,
there’s
not
gonna
be
any
trouble…
you
know
it.
So
if owt’
went
wrong…
somebody
would
look
after
you
and
that’s
just
the way
it were
so
at
the
time
you
had
all
the
football
hooligans
fighting
each
other
on
a
Saturday
morning
at
football
but
at
night
they’ve
be
in
in
same
warehouse
with
each
other
all
loved
up
with
each
other
not
causing
a
problem
looking
out
for
each
other.
Which
were
a
good
thing
that.
I
think
the
country
needed
it
at
time.
So,
what
did
you
both
go on
to
do
after,
did
it
change
what
you
did
in
your
lives?
after
F******g
kids
f*****
it
up
for
me.
Sorry…
I
mean..
I
mean
wife
wife
got
pregnant…
(Laughs)
See
I
was
a
late
starter.
I
didn’t
have
children
till
later
on
in
life.
So
all
the
way
through
my
20s.
Yeah.
I
just
used
to
go
and
party
spend
all
my
money
partying
going…
obviously
the
scene
changed
a
little
bit
because
everything
went
into
proper
clubs
so it did
get
a
bit
heavy
sometimes
a
little
bit
with
the
bouncers
and stuff.
But
it’s
just
good
to
see
there’s
a
revival
going
on
at
the
moment
and
there’s
still
illegal
parties
going
on
and
I
have
frequented
1
or
2
later
on
in
life.
But
yeah,
it’s
changed
me…
my
whole
perception
on
life.
Really
because
before…
when
before
we
set
off
to
go
to
these
parties
at
night
like
Sigi
was
saying
it
was
like
a
double
persona
for
me
because
I
worked
in
a
pub
where
I
just
had
to
wear
a
dickie
bow
dickie
bow
tie
and a
waistcoat
and
be
this
you
know
pillar
of
society
person,
would
say
for
people
behind
the
bar
and
then
as
soon
as
soon
as
we
finished
work
half
past
11
i’d get
changed
into
a
completely
different
set
of
clothes
and
off
I
went
you
know,
so
I
had
this
double
life
going
on,
you
know,
and
then
I
had
to
get
and
go
back
to
work
Sunday
morning…
after
I’ve
been
partying…
to
go
back
into
this
persona
again
this
different
life.
It
was…
it
was…
weird
really
quite
weird.
It
was
such
an
iconic
thing.
You
talk
to
a
lot
of
people
who
went
to
parties… ask ’em
what’s
best
part
of
your
life?
It’s
b******s
when
I
say
watching
me kid
being born!
In
our
lives
it
really
was
the
Acid
House
days.
It
happened
30
years
ago
and
it’s
still
happening
now
and
the
people
that
were
raiding
warehouses
30
years
ago
are
still
doing
it
now.
So
it
says
something
We’re
granddad
ravers
now.
Yeah
OAP’s
ravers
that’s
what
we
are.
We’ve
a
T-shirt
made
up
and
everything
It’s
they…
were
brilliant
times.
And
the
first
thing
I
did
when
I
met
Tony
met
Tommy,
I’ve
only
known
Tony
there
for
4
years
or
so
was
thank him
for
them
days.
And
he’s
such
a
humble
guy
he’d
say
we
never
made
the
parties.
You
made
the
parties…
and
he
said…
yeah
I
said
how
many
people
have
come
up to you
and
said
thanks
for
them
days
back
then?
And
he’ll
say
it
weren’t
me
that
made
it
it were
you
lot
that
made
it…
you
know.
So
it
were
a
big
thing.
It’s
going
in an
archive
and
I
like to think
that
it’s
about
some kid in
100
years
some kid from
Blackburn
in
a
100
years…
Yeah…
…listening
to
people,
you
know
kids
from
Blackburn
telling
those
stories…
Yeah.
Yeah.
So
as
a
kid
listening
to
this
in
100
years
from
Blackburn
what
do
you
want
to say?
Live it
large.
Just
do
it.
Just
do
it
yourself
Grab
it
grab
it
while
you’re
young.
Grab
it
while
you
can,
just
cos’
them
days
finished
for
us
doesn’t
mean
it’s
going
to
finish
for
you.
Like
after….
after
we
did
our
raves…
scene
it
seemed
to
take
off
in
Ibiza
and
it’s
just
rolled
on
and
rolled
down
and
rolled
on…
the
parties
are
still
happening
now
30
years
after
people
are
doing
these
spin-off
parties…
fair
enough
they’re
not
illegal
raves
and
stuff
like
that
like
they
were
back
then.
But
just
enjoy
it
I
got
I
work
with
a
lad
who’s
DJ…
who
worked
with me
and his dad
DJ’s
at
Monroe’s
I
just
met him by
coincidence.
I
started
working…
with
talking
to
him
about
it
and
he
started
going to
some
now
watching
his
dad
DJ
at
these
parties.
He
said
he’d never
seen
his
dad
play
before
he
didn’t
know
who
he
was…
such
an
iconic
figure
back
in
the
day,
you
know,
and
it
is…
an
and
that’s
Gilly.
You
know,
I
mean,
his
sons
21
22
to
someone
and
he’s
he’s
loving
it
goes
to
all
of
them
now.
I’d
like
to
think
in
a
100
years
time.
I
mean,
there’s
nothing
touched
it
has
there
music-wise
and
i’d like to
think
in
a
100
years
time
something
changes
and
happens
like
you
did
back
then
because
it’s
you
know,
it
was
a
massive
change
in
shifting
society
and
people’s
outlook
on
the…
outlook
on
life
really.
So
yeah,
I’d
like
to
think
that…
there’d be
something
big
again…
that
happens
to
another
generation
basically.
