How
did
you
get
involved
in
the
parties
in
Blackburn?
At
the
time
it
was
all
about
drinking
and
football
violence
seemed
to
be
the
thing.
And
I
was
growing
up
around
that,
and
wanting
to
be
around
some
of
the
older
people
that
were
involved
in
that.
And
I
remember
a
friend
of
mine…
his
brother
had
come
over
to
Blackburn
in
1989
somehow
and
he
was
…
kind
of
in
with
the
the
football,
the
crowd
and
what
have
ya,
and
the
…
hooliganism
and
he
come
over
and
he
and
he’d
told
his
brother
about
this
and
then
his
brother
had
been
and
then
he
said
to
me…
Oh
Damo
you’ve
got
to
come
over,
you
want
to
come
and
see
these
parties.
And
of
course
at
the
time
it
was
all
Farah
trousers,
classics
and
…
brogues…
and
I
remember
coming
over
to
the
Red
Parrot
woulda
been
1989,
and
that
was
my
first
experience
of
Blackburn.
So
I
remember
they
were
going
to
the
Red
Parrot.
I
remember
the
doors
opening
and
then
I
just
remember
thinking
what
the
f**k
is
this?
I
never
seen
anything
like
it…
it’s really
really
difficult
to
even
try
to
explain
unless
you
were
actually
there.
…
I
just
remember
the
whole
club
just
moving,
just
the
whole
club
just
rocking.
And
it
was
…
it
was
a
massive
shock
to
me
that…
and
then
that
was
the
first
night
I
was
introduced
to the
party
and
afterwards…
off
we
went
and
followed
the
rest
and
I
…
I
ended
up
in
my
first
warehouse
party
that
night,
and
that
was
it.
I
was
converted,
hooked
and
that
this
this
whole
new
scene
was
just
incredible
to
me.
I
couldn’t
even
believe
it
was
happening.
It
didn’t
seem
real.
And
that
was
my
first
experience
of
what
got
me
there.
So
it
was
a
friend’s
older
brother
who
you
know,
and
to
think
back
as
well
when
you
think
of
the
type
of
people
that
were
going
to
these
parties,
because
it
brought
everybody
together,
is
the
most
bizarre
thing.
So
yeah,
I
was
introduced
to
it
from
there.
And
then
that
was
it.
I
was
hooked
on
the
scene
from
then.
And
were
you
travelling
every
weekend then?
Traveling
every
weekend,
driving
down
from
Harrogate
in
little
old
battered
Escorts,
4
speed-ers
with
…
half
the
stuff
not
working
and
yeah
traveling
down
and
literally
waiting
the
full
week
for
the
weekend.
I
think
it’s
really
bizarre
that
your
full
…
my
full
mindset
and
mentality
changed
in
a
very
short
period
of
time
which
was…
it’s
pretty
surreal
when
you
think
about
it
now
to
sort
of
think
back.
Yeah,
my
whole
mindset
changed.
It
was,
it
became
the
priority
wasn’t
it
really?
It
was
the
priority.
Yeah.
It
was
almost
what
you
lived
for
and
you…
it’s
very
strange
because
you
very
quickly
felt
like
you
were
part
of
something
that
was
that
was
happening.
And
it
but
you
weren’t
only
a part
of
something.
It
was
yours.
It’s
a
very
strange
thing
to
to
be
involved
in,
and
especially
when
you
look
at
the
time
like
I
say
that
you
know,
people
were
just
going
out
drinking
and
violence
was
the
norm.
So
to
pull
all
these
people
together
…
to
a
place
like
Blackburn…
Blackburn,
you
know,
where
was
it
on
the
map?
And
all
of
a
sudden
we’ve
got
people
traveling
from
…
everywhere
to
be
here.
It’s…
you’re
talking
about
a
time
when
if
you
had
a
group
of
guys,
males
that
went
to
another
city
or
town.
The
chances
are
you
either
you went
for
a
fight
or
you were
going
to
get
in
one
when
you
went
there.
And
that
was
why
you
went.
And
then
all
of
a
sudden
you’ve
got
…
1000s
and
1000s
of
people
from
every
different
background
coming
together
in
one
place.
It
was…
yeah,
it
was
a
very
strange
thing.
And
as
you
say…
you
lived
for
the
weekend
you
were
counting
the
days
down,
you
know,
when
it
got
to
midweek
you
knew
it
wasn’t
long…
you
knew
it
was
coming
and
it
was
happening.
…
And
when
you’ve
been
to
a
party.
For
me
when
I’d
finished.
I
used
to
think
I
had
this
real
light
reflecting
on
it
now
and
looking
back.
I
know
I’d
kind
of
think
I’ve
done it.
Another
one.
Like
a
real
sense
of
achievement
like
yes,
I’ve
done
that.
That’s
it.
I’ve
done
it
great.
Yeah
brilliant
another
one
yeah.
When’s
the
next?
