How
did
you
get
involved?
I
did
a
bit
of
that…
I
did
the
first
one
the
Blast
Off
and
I…
organised
you
know,
I
knew
a
lot…
and
found
the
premises
to
have
it
down
by
the
Ribble
there
and…
that’s
how
I
got
involved;
well
I
did
that
but
I
weren’t
actually
doing
the…
I just organised
that
bit
that
were
my
job.
And
the
generators.
So…
and
then
I
got
into
that
and
then
you
know,
Tommy
and
that
lot
come
down
and the
rest
is
history.
I
got
in
with
them.
Them
This
is
not
recording
is
it?
…
…
Oh s**t.
I said
his name.
…
So
what
happened
from
there
then?
Tell
me
about,
tell
me your
best memories
of
it.
What
happened?
Oh
it
were just,
it
was
good weren’t it.
It
were
somewhere
to
go
everybody
met,
everybody
and
you
met
different
people.
Because
I
went
all
over,
I
ended
up
going
to
Liverpool…
go
to
a
club
there
and
then
I
used
to
come
back
and
go
to
parties
and
see
them
and
it’s
yeah
just…
were
a
good
atmosphere.
It
were
good
because
it
brought
a
lot
of
people
together.
I
thought
at
the
time.
I
mean
there
were
drugs
involved
but…
that
weren’t
…
…
the
be
all
and
end
all.
It
was
yeah,
were
good.
I
enjoyed
it.
Probably
carried
…
it
on
too
long.
…
I
weaned
myself
off
it
and then
I
thought
nah;
it’s
time
to
leave
it
alone.
…
What
What
what
what…
what
what
made
you
do
that?
What
about
what
year
was
that
then?
When
did
you
think
I’ve
had
enough
now?
Well
it
was
after
the…
after…
when
the…
the
heavy
mob
from
Manchester
started
getting
involved
I
was
saying
to
another…
nah
they’ll
close
this
soon…
and
they
did.
And
that
were
over
at
Nelson.
But
I
carried
on
going
to
a
few
other
places.
And
I
thought
nah…
It
weren’t
the
same
as
that.
It
weren’t
the
same
atmosphere.
It
weren’t
the
same.
So did you
go
as a
raver?
As a
customer?
Or
were
you
working
or
anything
like
that?
No
I
helped
a
couple
of
times.
But
mainly
I
was
just
going
to
enjoy
myself.
Yeh
but
I
knew
everybody.
And
they
were
all
me
mates
we’d
grown
up
together.
Where
abouts
in
Blackburn
are you from?
I’m
a
Darwener
really.
Yeh
but
I
lived
in…
I
ended
up
going
into
the
YMCA.
And
…
…
…
…
…
…
I
lived
in
there
for
a
bit
when
I
left
home,
when
I
had
to
come
out
and
then
I
met
people
there.
And
then
I
stopped
in
Blackburn
and
became
a
Blackburner.
And
then
I
ended
up
living
in
Infirmary
and
Revidge
Yeah.
So
you
talked
about
when
it
got
a
bit
heavy
towards
the end…
you
came
out.
Have
you
got
any
other
sort
of
darker
memories
of
that
time?
Not
in
Blackburn.
…
…
I
used
to
go
to
that
one
at
Liverpool.
And
that one
got
a
bit
heavy
at
the
end.
Do mean
Quadrant Park?
Yeah
Quadrant Park.
That
got
heavy
and
I
thought
nah
…
…
this
is
not
like
…
…
it
was.
I
thought
nah
and
that’s
when
I
said
that
were
John
Kelly
used
to
be
the
place
that
used
to
go
to
at
I
think
it were
one
the
Underground
in
Liverpool.
That
were
a
good
club.
So
we
met…
obviously
you
go
there
and
you
get
chatting…
you
meet
people.
I’m
going
over
to
such
a
place.
…
Oh
I’ve
heard
about
that.
I’ll
take
you.
And
we
all
went
over.
…
So
it
just,
y’know,
…
I
still
keep
in
touch
with
people
over
Liverpool.
…
So
it
were
good
that
way.
It
were
really
good.
I
met
loads
of
good
people.
And
then
we
did
the
Blast-off
we
did
that
one
in
Balderstone.
And
then
we
went
down
to
Rickmansworth
…
down
in
London.
And
…
met
a
load
of
them.
Those
type of
people
in’ South
and
that so
yeah,
it
was
yeah,
good
memories.
Good
memories.
And
you
stopped,
what
did
you
go
on
to
do
afterwards?
As
in what?
For entertainment?
well,
yeah.
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
What
did
you…
…
when
the
parties
stopped,
did
you
just…
was
that
it
for
you,
was
that
the
end
of
it?
Or…?
Well
I was
obviously
going
out
still,
but
yeh
more
or
less
because
I
started
doing
other
things,
like
I
had
my
own
business
so
I
concentrated
on
that
a
lot
more.
And
then
I
…
…
um,
I
took
up
different
hobbies.
Like
I
did
windsurfing
and
I
still
windsurf.
Stuff
like
that.
Motor
home
going
about,
moving
about,
checking
places
out.
In
to
history
and
all
that
business,
so
I
go
and
check
places
out.
So.
Well
and
with
getting
older
you
got
to
remember
I
were
like
32
at
the
time
so
by the
time
it
all
finished
I
were…
getting
more
towards
the
40
mark.
So
I
thought
It’s
like
y’know
I’d
2
kids
then
and
everything
so…
so
you’ve
to
change
your
lifestyle
haven’t
you
really.
You
mentioned
you are
interested
in history
and
that’s
what
I’m
interested
in.
For
me
the
parties
are a
part
of
a
bigger
story.
Of
post-industrial
Blackburn.
Yeah.
You
know,
we
had
mill
poets
and
painters
and
the
Mitchell
and
Kenyon
Film-makers.
And the
parties
now
are
30
years
old
they’re
part
of
that
history.
I’m
interested
in
telling
that
you
knew
all
of
you
lot
being
able
to
tell
your
story
on
this
website.
This
archive,
to
a
kid
in
Blackburn
in
100
years
time.
Yeah
it’d
be
great.
So
they
can
come
back
and
listen
to
you all…
like
we
watched
the
Mitchell
and
Kenyon
films.
What
would
you
say
to
a
kid
in
Blackburn
in
a
100
years
time
who
wants
to
know
about
what
it
was
like
living
here?
Check
it
out.
But
then
what
you
said,
I
mean,
I
didn’t
know,
I
mean
I’m
interested
big time
that’s me
favorite
thing.
But
when
I
went
to
your
exhibition
down
there,
I
didn’t
know
about
that
one
about
the
Civil
War
n’the
I
knew
they
were
against
it
and
th’we’re
a
lockout
type
of
thing,
but
I
didn’t
know
that
they
supplied
food
and
things
and
the
dockers
did
it
for
nothing.
And
then
it
said
it…
because
I
always
thought
it
was
Manchester
what
were
the
socialist
hot
bed.
But
Blackburn
were
pretty…
pretty
up
there
as
well.
It
was…
Cos
I’m…
obviously
Socialist
as
well
y’know…
y’know
what
I
mean?
Yeah,
and
I
think
that
that…
the
reason
that
we
decided…
Democratic
Socialist
should’
put
it.
Reason
this
archive’s
important
is
because
we
only
know
that
stuff
because
we’ve
got
these
archives.
Yeah,
exactly.
So
it’s
important.
It
might…
it’s
for
me
It’s
not
about
talking
about
drugs
or
any
of
that
stuff.
It’s
about
capturing
a
moment
and
everyone
being
able
to
tell
those
stories.
And
everybody
has
been
brilliant,
you
included
it’s
been
absolutely
superb
hasn’t
it.
It’s
great
hearing…
we’ve
heard
so
many
different…
so
far
different
each
person,
y’know
completely
different.
Of a
different
view
of…
n’it
brought…
…
…
…
…
yeh
and
it
also
brought
the
races
together.
I
mean
because
at
that
time
there
were
a
bit
…
y’know
when
you
went
to
like
the
Northern
Soul
it
was
like
with
a
the
…
Anglo
African.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The
Jamaicans.
Yeh
it
got
a
bit
heavy.
But
when
the
parties
come…
…
…it
brought
down
the
barriers.
And
it
…
and
ever
since
then
I
think
it’s
improved
tremendous,
y’know
what’
mean?
You
don’t
think
of
em
they’re
just
like
us.
But
it
were
like
they’re
bogeymen
at’
…
time
sometimes.
You
didn’t
know
whether
to
trust
them
or
anything
y’know
what
I
mean.
But
all
that’s…
that
were
another
good
point
I
thought
were
that
it
brought
everybody
together.
Yeah,
I
think
it
was
probably
the
best
thing…
that
was
such
a…
it
just,
it,
it
stopped…
well…
that
narrow-mindedness.
didn’t it?
Yeah
So
it
were
for
me…
it
were
a
…
…
…
good
time
of
me
life
I
enjoyed
it.
And
I
still
think
back
fond
memories
of
it.
I
sometimes
think
oooh
did
I
do
that?
B’then
I
laugh…
so
yeah,
were
good.

So did you

And

And
that one
got
a
bit
heavy
at
the
end.
Do mean
Quadrant Park?
Yeah
Quadrant Park.
That
got
heavy
and
I
thought

is
not
like
…
…

was.
I
thought
nah
and
that’s
when
I
said
that
were
John
Kelly
used
to
be
the
place
that
used
to
go
to
at

think
it were
one
the

That
were
a
good
club.
So
we
met…
obviously
you
go
there
and
you

And
we
all
went

So

keep
in
touch
with
people
over
Liverpool.
…
So
it
were
good
that
way.
It
were
really
good.
I
met
loads
of
good

And

in
Balderstone.
And
then
we
went
down
to
Rickmansworth
…

a
load
of
them.
Those
type of
people
in’ South
and
that so
yeah,
it
was
yeah,
good
memories.
Good
memories.
And
you
stopped,
what
did
you
go
on
to
do
afterwards?
As
in what?
For entertainment?
well,
yeah.
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
What
did
you…
…
when
the
parties
stopped,
did
you
just…
was
that
it
for
you,
was
that
the
end
of
it?
Or…?
Well
I was
obviously
going
out
still,
but
yeh
more
or
less
because
I
started
doing
other
things,
like
I
had
my
own
business
so
I
concentrated
on
that
a
lot
more.
And
then
I
…
…
um,
I
took
up
different
hobbies.
Like
I
did
windsurfing
and
I
still
windsurf.
Stuff
like
that.
Motor
home
going
about,
moving
about,
checking
places
out.
In
to
history
and
all
that
business,
so
I
go
and
check
places
out.
So.
Well
and
with
getting
older
you
got
to
remember
I
were
like
32
at
the
time
so
by the
time
it
all
finished
I
were…
getting
more
towards
the
40
mark.
So
I
thought
It’s
like
y’know
I’d
2
kids
then
and
everything
so…
so
you’ve
to
change
your
lifestyle
haven’t
you
really.
You
mentioned
you are
interested
in history
and
that’s
what
I’m
interested
in.
For
me
the
parties
are a
part
of
a
bigger
story.
Of
post-industrial
Blackburn.
Yeah.
You
know,
we
had
mill
poets
and
painters
and
the
Mitchell
and
Kenyon
Film-makers.
And the
parties
now
are
30
years
old
they’re
part
of
that
history.
I’m
interested
in
telling
that
you
knew
all
of
you
lot
being
able
to
tell
your
story
on
this
website.
This
archive,
to
a
kid
in
Blackburn
in
100
years
time.
Yeah
it’d
be
great.
So
they
can
come
back
and
listen
to
you all…
like
we
watched
the
Mitchell
and
Kenyon
films.
What
would
you
say
to
a
kid
in
Blackburn
in
a
100
years
time
who
wants
to
know
about
what
it
was
like
living
here?
Check
it
out.
But
then
what
you
said,
I
mean,
I
didn’t
know,
I
mean
I’m
interested
big time
that’s me
favorite
thing.
But
when
I
went
to
your
exhibition
down
there,
I
didn’t
know
about
that
one
about
the
Civil
War
n’the
I
knew
they
were
against
it
and
th’we’re
a
lockout
type
of
thing,
but
I
didn’t
know
that
they
supplied
food
and
things
and
the
dockers
did
it
for
nothing.
And
then
it
said
it…
because
I
always
thought
it
was
Manchester
what
were
the
socialist
hot
bed.
But
Blackburn
were
pretty…
pretty
up
there
as
well.
It
was…
Cos
I’m…
obviously
Socialist
as
well
y’know…
y’know
what
I
mean?
Yeah,
and
I
think
that
that…
the
reason
that
we
decided…
Democratic
Socialist
should’
put
it.
Reason
this
archive’s
important
is
because
we
only
know
that
stuff
because
we’ve
got
these
archives.
Yeah,
exactly.
So
it’s
important.
It
might…
it’s
for
me
It’s
not
about
talking
about
drugs
or
any
of
that
stuff.
It’s
about
capturing
a
moment
and
everyone
being
able
to
tell
those
stories.
And
everybody
has
been
brilliant,
you
included
it’s
been
absolutely
superb
hasn’t
it.
It’s
great
hearing…
we’ve
heard
so
many
different…
so
far
different
each
person,
y’know
completely
different.
Of a
different
view
of…
n’it
brought…
…
…
…
…
yeh
and
it
also
brought
the
races
together.
I
mean
because
at
that
time
there
were
a
bit
…
y’know
when
you
went
to
like
the
Northern
Soul
it
was
like
with
a
the
…
Anglo
African.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The
Jamaicans.
Yeh
it
got
a
bit
heavy.
But
when
the
parties
come…
…
…it
brought
down
the
barriers.
And
it
…
and
ever
since
then
I
think
it’s
improved
tremendous,
y’know
what’
mean?
You
don’t
think
of
em
they’re
just
like
us.
But
it
were
like
they’re
bogeymen
at’
…
time
sometimes.
You
didn’t
know
whether
to
trust
them
or
anything
y’know
what
I
mean.
But
all
that’s…
that
were
another
good
point
I
thought
were
that
it
brought
everybody
together.
Yeah,
I
think
it
was
probably
the
best
thing…
that
was
such
a…
it
just,
it,
it
stopped…
well…
that
narrow-mindedness.
didn’t it?
Yeah
So
it
were
for
me…
it
were
a
…
…
…
good
time
of
me
life
I
enjoyed
it.
And
I
still
think
back
fond
memories
of
it.
I
sometimes
think
oooh
did
I
do
that?
B’then
I
laugh…
so
yeah,
were
good.
