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,
break
dance,
Hip
Hop
and
Electro
and
all
the
rest
of
it
before
that,
so
I
had an
idea
what
I
was
going
to.
But
this
Wigan
Pier
night
…
was,
was
really
sort
of
kicking
off
at
the
time.
We
went
there.
He
said…
We’re
going
to
do
some
acid,
d’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,
was
steam
coming
out
of
all
the
doors,
there’s
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.
I remember
there was
an
old
Astra
van
in
there
that
was
obviously
being
left
in
there
…
because
it
was,
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.
Exactly
which
one
it’s
Altham
Industrial
Estate.
It is
yeah.
Yeah,
I
know
exactly
who’d
rented
the
van
that
day
…
…
…
and
had
to
take
it
back
to.
So
you
know
the
guy
that
had
that
van,
that
got
trashed.
It’s
even
worse
than
that,
because
he’d
broken
the
key
inside.
That’s
why
it
was
stuck
in.
Right.
And
it was
was
from
a
rental
company.
So
he
didn’t
want
to
leave
it
there?
It
was
somebody
else said…
Don’t
worry,
I’ll
break
the
steering
lock
off.
And
actually
snapped
the
steering
wheel off.
Then
it was
really
stuck in
there.
So
that,
that
was,
yeah,
that
was,
that
was
the
first
one.
Yeah,
probably,
that’s
What
year
was
Altham?
Was 89.
…
no
it’s
definitely…
it’s
definitely
89
and
it’s
about,
I
would
say
September,
October
Right.
Did
you,
…
…
So,
Yeah…
so
yeah,
that…
It was
the one
for
the
television,
television
actually
came
to
film
it
…
was
saying
that
they
wanted
some
shots
for
Granada
or whatever.
