I
was
15
15
going
on
16
I
was
in
my
5th
year
in
1989
I
remember
and
I
was
thinking
when
I
came
here
how
it
started.
I’ve
always
loved
music
and
we
were
involved
at
the
time
in
kinda
the
Soul
scene.
So
the
Soul
scene
in
Manchester,
Soul
scene
in
Preston
and
Peppermint
Place
in
Blackburn.
I
was
kind
of
really
open in
spirit.
I
love
music
and
it
was
a
really
exciting
time
for
us.
So
I
was
in
this
kind
of
soul
scene,
all the
dancers
used
to come
over like
The
Jazz
Fusion
dancers
from
Manchester.
Foot
Patrol
and
Brian
Brevidge
from
Blackburn.
Excellent
times.
And
it
evolved
and
somehow
I
was
in
Blackburn,
I
was
always
a
Blackburn
girl
we
was
always
out
on
the
town
and
in
Toffs,
in
the
town
centre,
and
I
don’t
remember
who
told
us.
Like
there’s
this
kind
of
new
thing
going
on
that’s
called
Sett
End,
but
I
think
it
was
natural
because
I
was
in
that
environment
anyway,
in
that
musical
environment
with
like-minded
folk.
And
we
were
there
I’d
say
from
pretty
early
on,
maybe
from
not
quite
1988
because
I
was
probably
that
bit
too
young
and
I
was
just
kind
of
getting
out
there,
but
certainly
from
…
early
1989
We
started
getting
introduced
to
House
music
anyway
like
the
early
Chicago
stuff
yer
10
City,
you
know
…
…
…
Yo
Get
Funky
So
I
think
the
Soul
scene
it
kind
of,
there
was
a
natural
crossover
w’that
early
kind
of
Chicago
House
used
to
come
into
play.
And
even
in
Manchester
with
the
Jazz
Fusion
guys
and
there
was
that
kind
of
early
House
coming
through.
I
think
what
what
…
what
for
me
did
it
as
well,
because
I’ve
been
into
kind
of the
urban
Music
scene,
kind
of
of
black
people
in
the
Soul
scene
kind
of
we
had
the
kind
of…
we’d
come
from
the
Pop
Disco
culture.
It
really
brought
everyone
together.
I
brought
to
Sett
End
over
a
quite
a
few
Preston
girls
with
me
…
and
then
there
was
…
kind
of
the
Preston
guys
and
the
dancers.
There
was
the
DJ’s
that
we
talked
about
…
Kenneth
and
Kelly,
Big
Respect
and
Clem.
And
it
was
a
real
coming
together
of
kind
of
colors
of
cultures
of
different
flavors
of
music…
your
Soul
guys
your
Hip
Hop
guys,
Electro
ones…
and
all
coming
together
in
kinda
the
name
of
House.
So
for
me
they
went
side-by-side
Friday
was
at
Hacienda,
Saturday
was
Sett
End
and
…
…
…
Acid
House
parties.
So
yeah
the
Sett
End
…
…
it
was
just
like
home
for
me.
…
had
an
amazing
time.
We
were
so
blessed.
And
once
I
was
I
was
hooked.
I
went
for
the
first
time
and
I
…
I
didn’t
stop
going
since.
It
was
like
the
highlight
of
your
week
y’just
couldn’t
wait
for
a
Saturday
to
go
to
Sett
End
and
the
parties.
It
was
iconic,
it
was
exciting,
it
was
a
real..
I
love
people
anyway
was
a
real
coming
together
of
people
and
…
…
yeah
like
…
Ive
always
danced,
Ive
always
been
into
music.
So
I
guess
we’ were
pretty
good
fun
to
be
around.
Yeah.
Not
in
an
egotistical
way
b’who’s
not
gonna
want
a
load
of
young
Blackburn
girls,
like
dancing
around
at
the
parties.
We
kind
of
milked
it
in
a
way
like
you
do
because
we
were
getting
in
those
parties
and
we
were
getting
in
that
Sett End
without
a
doubt.
There
was
no
question.
So
th’was
a
few
of
us,
my
good
friend
Stella,
Timothy
from
Preston
and
we’d
literally
have
one
finger
on
the
record
box
Clem
Oscar’s
record
box
and
we’d
be
saying
we’re
with
the DJ
we’re with
the
DJ!
And
he
knew
us
and
he’d
laugh,
but
I
thought
there was
no way
we
weren’t
getting
in,
and
of
course
…
yeah
and
because
we’re
regulars
and
because
we’re
a
lot
younger
Blackburn
girls
we were
well
looked
after
so
yeah,
we
kind
of
made
it
our
mission
because
we
were
not
missing
out
not
a
chance.
It
was
just
at
home.
It
was
just…
everybody
got
along.
It
was
just
I
mean
it
was
quite
small
and
intimate.
It
was
sweaty,
and
I
remember
kind
of
what
I
was
thinking
about
the
kind
of
styles
that
I
used
to
wear.
Like
now
might
go
out
and
maybe
make
a
bit
of
an
effort
to
look
like
a
girl,
but
then
these
blue
suede
Fila
boots.
I
had
on
dungarees
…
with
a
little
tiny
crop
top
and
then
I
remember
going
to
…
Afflecks
Palace
which
was
really
exciting,
and
getting
this
fake
leopard
skin
fur
coat.
I
can
picture
myself
now…
you
know….
the
hair
the
makeup
I
can’t
do
all
that
stuff
because
I’m
trying
to
explain
to
my
20
year
old
daughter
that
we
didn’t
do
that
then.
We
were
just
yeah
comfy,
as
you
were,
didn’t
matter
about
that
kind
of
image
stuff
and
just
a
real
coming
together
of
…
like-minded
people
who
are
sharing
the
music
and
all
those
kind
of
cultures
mixing
together.
It
was
just
yeah,
it
was
ace.
