So
I
was
living
in
Blackburn
and I grew
up
there
and
was
into
all
sorts
of
music
all
different
kinds
of
music
growing
up
but
I
was
15
in
1989
I
was
still
at
school
and I
started
going
out
and
about
and
I
don’t
know
how
we
found
Crackers
I
don’t
know
how
someone
told
us
to
go
to
Crackers
I
can’t
remember how
that
happened
but
anyway,
we
did
me
and me mate
I
think
in
about
March
1989
and
I
felt
totally
at
home
because
I
think
going
out
for
me
then
if
you
went
other
places,
it
was
like
a
it was
either
like
a
cattle
market
and
it
was
really
commercial
or
you
went
out
to
like
a
village
outside
of
town
or
village
down
the
road
and
people
just
wanted
to
beat
you
up
cos
you
didn’t
come
from
that
village
so
when
I
went
to
Crackers
and
it
was
like
you
couldn’t
see
what
was
going
on.
It
was
full
of
smoke.
It’s
full
of
strobe
lights
I
was
saying
in
the
conversation
with
Jules
before
you
didn’t
actually
know
I
didn’t
actually
know
how
big
the
room
was
because
there
was a
mirror
at one
end
so
you
couldn’t
see
what
I
didn’t
you
didn’t
know
what
the
room
actually
look
like
it
was
just
a
mass
of
people
and
smoke
and
strobes
so
no
one
was
bothered
about
you,
you
know,
and
I
really
liked
that,
you
know,
you
just
got
on
and
did
your
thing
and
the
music
was
I
loved
House
music
and
I
loved
what
I
was
hearing
of
Acid
House,
you
know
we were
into
lots
of
different
kinds
of
music,
but
we’re
really
really
starting
to
get
into
House
music,
but
it
was
really
exotic
because
you
didn’t
know
most
of
the
tunes
you
know
for
me
it
was
new,
you
know,
there was
a
whole
world
that
you were
diving
into
so
that
was
the
beginning
of
my
connection
and we
went
there
a
couple
of
times
and
probably
the
third
time
I
turned
up
there
they
said
oh
it’s
not
on
tonight
and
a
van
pulled
up
and
they
said
this
van
is gonna
go
to
an
Acid
House
party
and
if
you
want
to
go
get
in
quick
so
we
jumped
in
the van
and didn’t
know
who
it
was
didn’t
know
who
said
anything.
I
was
just
there
with
a
mate
he were
called
Jack
and I
think
he
were
a
bit
scared
because
I
said
we
were
15
we
weren’t
really
supposed
to
be
there,
you
know
what I
mean,
we
jumped
in
and
then
that
was
our
first
party
and
that
was
sometime
in
the
first
half
of ’89
I’d say
and,
you
know,
I
was
hooked.
I
was
just
totally
hooked
from
then
on
and
then
we
were
so
we
were
going
to
Sett
End
regularly.
I
wouldn’t
say
that
by
any
means
that I
went
to
every
party
but
I
went
to
a
fair
decent
amount
of
them
right
through
to
the
end
and
still
trying
to
go
to
ones
that
didn’t
happen
afterwards,
you
know,
because
there
was
plenty
of
attempts
afterwards
to
make
parties
happen.
So
I
don’t
live
in
Blackburn
anymore
but,
you
know,
it was a
huge
part
of
my
life,
so
yeah,
so
that
was
my
involvement
really
was
as
participant
as
a
punter
as
someone
who
attended
the
parties
and
from
a
young
age
and
I
was
so
passionate
about
it.
I
guess
that
I
was
keen
to
involve
and
encourage
as
many
people
as
I
could
to
come
which
was
mostly
at
that
time
like
other
mates
who
were
school
really
because
I
thought
it
was
just
the
best
thing
you
know,
the
best
thing
that
anyone
could
be
doing
and
the
most
exciting
thing
that
anyone
could
be
doing
because
it
takes
so many
different
boxes,
you
know,
you
were
in
rooms
and
in
warehouses
with
1000s
of
people
and
people
really
came
together
with
a
common
purpose
and
I
knew
absolutely
beautiful
experiences
and
it
made
you
realise
that
you
know,
like
you
didn’t
have
to
be
in
like
really
really
picturesque
locations.
You
didn’t
really
have
to
be
in
like
I’ve
been
in
some
amazing
clubs
in
like
Ibiza
and
other
parts
of
the
world
where
it’s
like it
feels
like
a
paradise
and
it’s
got
its own
special
atmosphere,
but
you
could
be
in
a
dirty
warehouse
in
Blackburn
with
people
jumping
up
and
down
on
JCB,
you
know,
diggers
and
things
like
that
or
ice
cream
vans
and
and
you
know
dilapidated
warehouses
and
that
was
that
was
Heaven.
That
was
as
good
as
it
got
for
me
because
it
was
created
by
all
the
people
there
and
it
wasn’t
about
you
know,
a
culture
of
like
Superstar
DJ’s
or
you
know
at
all
it
was
about
it
was
about
the
music
and
that
the
thing
that
was
amazing
was
the
party
itself
and
that
to
me
is
like
the
community
of
all
the
people
who’ve
come
together
to
make
that
and all the
special
things
that
happened
to
come
together,
so
yeah,
so
it
was
definitely
led
left
a
big
hole
for
me
when
it
when
the
parties
eventually
finished
but
I
was
so
grateful
to
to
be
a
part
of
that
and
I’m
glad
that
at
the
time
I
was
able
to
seize
it
and
see
it
for
what
it
was
because
I
guess
a
lot
of
other
people
I
knew
who
were
young,
you
know,
same
age
15, 16,
they
weren’t
in
situations
where
they
could
go
but
I
would
have
I
would
have
left
home,
you
know
to
be
part
of
them
the
parties
I
would
have
done
anything
because
I
think
I
knew
that
I
just
had
to
be
there,
you
know,
and
so
I’m
glad
that
I
could
see
it
have
the
conviction
and
see
it
for
what
it
was
at
the
time
which
was
like
a
really
unique
beautiful
thing
which
you
know
has
really
influenced
my
life
in
lots
of
ways
and
it
definitely
was
a
big
influence
on
me
wanting
to
make
music,
you
know
and
put
on
events
put
on
music
you
know
music
events,
but
it’s
influenced
me to
do
loads
and
loads
of
different
things
in
my
life.

So
I
was

Blackburn
and I grew

there
and
was

all
different

growing

but
I
was
15
in
1989
I
was
still
at
school
and I
started
going
out
and
about
and
I
don’t
know
how
we
found
Crackers
I
don’t
know
how
someone
told
us
to
go
to
Crackers
I
can’t
remember how
that
happened
but
anyway,
we
did
me
and me mate
I
think
in
about
March
1989
and
I
felt
totally
at
home
because
I
think
going
out
for
me
then
if
you
went
other
places,
it
was
like
a
it was
either
like
a
cattle
market
and
it
was
really
commercial
or
you
went
out
to
like
a
village
outside
of
town
or
village
down
the
road
and
people
just
wanted
to
beat
you
up
cos
you
didn’t
come
from
that
village
so
when
I
went
to
Crackers
and
it
was
like
you
couldn’t
see
what
was
going
on.
It
was
full
of
smoke.
It’s
full
of
strobe
lights
I
was
saying
in
the
conversation
with
Jules
before
you
didn’t
actually
know
I
didn’t
actually
know
how
big
the
room
was
because
there
was a
mirror
at one
end
so
you
couldn’t

what
I
didn’t
you
didn’t
know
what
the
room
actually
look
like
it
was
just
a
mass
of
people
and
smoke
and
strobes
so
no
one
was
bothered
about
you,
you
know,
and
I
really
liked
that,
you
know,
you
just
got
on
and
did
your
thing
and
the
music
was
I
loved
House
music
and
I
loved
what
I
was
hearing
of
Acid
House,
you
know
we were
into
lots
of
different
kinds
of
music,
but
we’re
really
really
starting
to
get
into
House
music,
but
it
was
really

that

the

and we
went
there
a
couple
of
times
and
probably
the
third
time
I
turned
up
there
they
said
oh
it’s
not
on
tonight
and
a
van
pulled
up
and
they
said
this
van
is gonna
go
to
an
Acid
House
party
and
if
you
want
to
go
get
in
quick
so
we
jumped
in
the van
and didn’t
know
who
it
was
didn’t
know
who
said
anything.
I
was
just
there
with
a
mate
he were
called
Jack
and I
think
he
were
a
bit
scared
because
I
said
we
were
15
we
weren’t
really
supposed
to
be
there,
you
know
what I
mean,
we
jumped
in
and
then
that
was
our
first
party
and
that
was
sometime
in
the
first
half
of ’89
I’d say
and,
you
know,
I
was
hooked.
I
was
just
totally
hooked
from
then
on
and
then
we
were
so
we
were
going
to
Sett
End
regularly.
I
wouldn’t
say
that
by
any
means
that I
went
to
every
party
but
I
went

you

because
there
was
plenty

attempts
afterwards
to
make
parties
happen.

in
