Okay,
tell
us
how
you
got
involved.
Well,
it
all
started
out
on
a,
was
it,
on
a
Saturday
night.
We
were
in
a
nightclub
in
Accrington.
I
won’t
mention
any
names
and
some
guy
said
it
was,
one
of
the
lads
said
we’re
going
to
one
of
these
acid
house
parties
and
it
was
probably
the
first,
the
second
one
there
ever
was
around
here
and
we
ended
up
in
there
and
from
then
on
that
were
it
there
were no
looking
back.
It
were,
I
was,
I
remember
saying
to
myself…
This
is
going
to
catch
on
because
it
was
such
a
contrast
from
traditional
pubs
and
clubs
and
everything
else
and
it
obviously
they
were
you
know,
stimulants
involved
and
such like
but
it,
I
just
thought
…
this
is
going
to
take
off,
and
it
did
do
you
know.
So
which
venue
is
this.
Which
was
the
second
one?
I
can
only
vaguely
remember
it
was
somewhere
at
the
back
end
of
Blackburn.
I were
just
talking
to
Tommy.
I
think
it
were
the
back
of
Sett
End
at
top
of
Blackburn.
It
wasn’t
the
Live
the
Dream
one.
That
was
after
I
think,
I
think
these
were
before
…
and
then
there
was
an
outfit
from
Accrington
that
started
cloning
em.
And
they
tried
to
put
parties
on
in
and
around
Accrington.
There
were
one
up
at
…
Broad
Oak,
and
the
contrast,
…
they
clashed
for
a
little
while,
for
a
couple
months.
And
then
they
fizzled
out
and
think
they
joined
forces
or
whatever
and
then
it
went
off
from
there
and
we
used
to
just
we
traveled
or
at
Northwest
every
Saturday
night
for
probably,
until
I
think
some
of
the
last
ones
were
the
Lomeshaye
one.
Which
Dave
France
were
at,
it
were
operation
Alkali,
which
was
the
Police
operation
to
repel
acid,
acid
house.
And
that
were one
of
the
last
ones
after
that
they
started
to
die
out.
What
your
best
memories
of
the
times?
It
was
the
overwhelming
sense
of
that
many
people
together
at
once,
which
I
think
has
been
eroded
ever
since
in
whatever
culture
and
then
from
that
the
music
obviously
was
something
that had
never
been
heard
before.
I’ve
been
a
DJ
for
a
living
for
35-40
years
and
it
was
it
were
completely
brand new.
The,
the
sounds
and
the
mixture
of
hip-hop
German
European
electronic
music.
The
merge
together
and
eclectic
mix
that
the
DJ’s
picked
out
to
create
that
scene.
It
was
neither
electronic
or
dub,
…
it
was
nothing.
It
was
the
moment
that
these
guys
put
this
music
together
to
create
that
acid
house
scene.
…
It
was
acid
house.
And
then
it
kind
of
morphed
into
the
rave
scene
which
wasn’t
really
what
acid
house
was.
It
were
completely,
…
That
was,
that had
a
life
of
it’s
own,
and
obviously
musical
genres
went
off
in
different
different
directions,
but
the
acid
house
scene
itself
was
that
specific
mixture
of
music
at
that
time
from
all
around
the
world.
So
do
you
have
any
bad
memories
of
the
time?
…
people
talk
about
it in a
really
positive
way,
but
are
there
any
memories
that
you
know
for
this
archive
where
you
think
actually
that
wasn’t
a
great
time?
I
were
just
talking
to
Tommy
in
there.
There
was
gratuitous
levels
of
violence
on
the
door,
which
I
remember
I
remember
only
talking
…
about
one
time
we
were
in
Blackburn
and
the
rave
scene
were
going
on
and they’d
collect
money
in a
black
bin bag.
On
the
door
and
a
car
…
pulled
up
and
a
team
of
lads
jumps
out
with
balaclavas
and
baseball
batted
…
all
the
lads
on
the
door
and
took
the
money.
And
we
remember
seeing
that
obviously
we
were
you
know
involved
in
the
we
were
high
at
the
time.
It
weren’t
a
pretty
good
thing
to
see
and
then
towards
the
end
of
the
parties
when
people
are
getting
kicked
out
the
you
can’t
call em
door
staff,
the
bouncers
whatever
they
were.
They
were
pretty
hands
on
you
know,
doing
what
they
were
doing.
So
that
were
that.
But
overall
I
haven’t
really
got
any
bad
memories
of
it
at
all.
The
only
thing
that
I
think
is
negative
as
come out of
it is that
a
lot
of
people
from
that
era
started
taking
drugs
and
enjoying
the
scene
and never
got
off.
They
never
they
never
stopped
and
one
casualty
being
a
chap
who
passed
on
a
couple
weeks
ago,
you
probably
know
yourself
it
were all
over
Facebook.
That
kind
of
thing,
it
were
a
great
scene,
the
only
negative
side
is
some
people
never
stopped
it
and
they
never
came
down
from
it.
What
did
you
do
after?
I
made
a
living
for
25
years
playing
the
records
and
playing
the
music
which
you
know
from
the
acid
house
scene
I
went
on
to
become
a DJ
which
I
were,
same
as
Nige,
Nige did
the
same
for
you
know
for
20-odd
years,
we
played
clubs
and
pubs
around
Blackburn,
Burnley
or
at
Northwest
of
England,
I produced
music.
I
had me own
records
out
myself.
So
the,
it
kind
of,
I was
blessed
to
be
in those
warehouses
at
that
time
to
influence
the
musical
knowledge
I
had
from
there
which
I
still
do,
which
I still
have
today
from
all
kinds
of
different
musical
genres
that
we
used,
gave
me
a
skill
and
I
went
on
to
make
a
living
out
of
it
for
25
30
years.
In
the
future
like
are
Mitchell
and Kenyon
archive.
There’s
going
to
be
a
kid
listening
to
all
these
stories
in
100
years.
They’re
not
going
to
be
able
to
maybe
imagine
what
it
was
without
these
stories.
If
you
could
say
one
thing
to
a
kid
about
Blackburn
at
that
time
or
a
researcher
or
a
police
or
anyone,
what
would
you
say
to
em?
At
that
time,
it
was
not
just
Blackburn.
Blackburn,
Burnley,
Accrington.
The
scene
itself,
which
created
was
as
cutting
edge
as
as
anything
the
UK
has
ever
seen
so
much
so
that
on
a
Sunday
night
in
1990,
Pete
Waterman
came
to
Accrington
because
Sunday
night
was
the
night
in
Accrington
…
where
all
the
Blackburn
DJ’s
myself,
Gilly
We
all
used
to
play
in
different
bars
in
Accrington.
And
so
everybody
came
down,
you
know,
they’ve
been
out
partying
Saturday
night
and
Pete
Waterman
actually
…
came
down
from
London
to
Accrington
and
said,
this
is
more
cutting
edge
than
Soho
in
London.
At
the
time.
In
Accrington
and
people
were so
cool.
You
know
the
way
they
were
dressed
what
they
were
dancing
to
and
everything
else.
That’s
what
it
was
and
it’s
been
part
of
that
and
always
having
a
sense
of
always
looking
back
and
knowing
that
you
were
part
of
that
you
were
you
were
in
it
and
you
can
never
explain.
We
just
talked
to
a
girl
in
there
about
the
Manchester
scene
and
the
M25
Orbital
raves
and
everything
else.
They
were
all
after
Blackburn
raves.
The
Blackburn
raves
started
it
and
that’s
where
it
gets
really
started
from.
You
know,
that’s
a
guy
called
Gerald,
Voodoo
Ray,
that
track
would
never
have
been
as
big
as
it
was
if
it
weren’t
for
the
Blackburn
raves.
…
They
say it
were
all
Manchester,
but
it
weren’t
it
were played
in Blackburn,
it
were
played in
Manhattan
Heights
…
played,
you
know
in
Darwen
and
places
like
that
before
hand.
