How
did
you
get
involved?
Well,
basically
I
put
a
couple
of
my
own
legal
acid
House
parties
in
Great
Harwood
…..
in
1988
And
the
third
one
that
I
was
doing,
I
had
a
poster
up
in
Astonishing
Sounds
a
record
shop
in
Blackburn
and
I
handmade
the
poster
and it
said
Acid
House
…
Party
with
a
Smiley
Smiley
Face.
Strobe
lights
…
….
1K
rig
from
Audio
Workshop
and…
playing
the
tunes.
So
this
poster’s
…
up
in
Astonishing
Sounds
And
Tommy
Smith,
who
was
unknown
to me at
the
time.
ad
gone
in
the
shop’n
sayin’…
Who’s
got
this
poster
up
here?
He said
to
Neil
the
guy
who
owned
the
shop.
He
said,
oh
it’s
a
lad
who
comes
in
buys
records
Imports
House
music,
He
says
right!
I’m
going
to
leave
my
number
here
with
you
so
…
If
he
does
come
in
again.
Can
you
get
him
to
contact
me?
So
then
the
next
time.
I
went’to
Astonishing
Sounds
Neil
said
to
me
Look…
He
said
there’s
a
guy
been
in.
A
Scotch
guy
and
he
said
he
looks
a
bit
untoward
(laughs)
said
he
said
he’s
left
his
number
with
you.
So
…
…
could
you
ring
him?
So
basically…
So
basically
when
I
went
in
I
thought
you
know
what…
when
I
went
home
I
thought…
got
nothing
to
lose…
now
at
at that point
I
didn’t
even
have
a
landline
the
phone
box
around
the
corner
which
was
a
phone
box
on
Russell
Place.
So
I
went
round
rung
this
number
up
and
it
was
Tommy
on
the
end
of
the
phone
I said
How’ya
doing ?
I
said,
I’m
the
guy
with
the
poster
in the
Record
Shop.
So
well
look
….
this
Saturday.
We’re
doing
our
first
event
it’s at
the
Crackers
above…
Was
it
Jazzy
Kex ?
It
wasn’t
called….
it’s
called….
Crackers
down
stairs
…
…
yeah,
right
Crackers
is
downstairs
and
they
had a
function
room
upstairs
So,
why
don’tcha
come
down
Saturday
afternoon?
and
we’ll
introduce
you
to
a
few
people
and
we’re
going
to
be
setting
up…
I said
okay
then
so
I
actually
went
down
Saturday
afternoon
didn’t
tell
…
none
of
…
of
me
mates
got
there
and
I
met
Tommy
and
Tony
and
a
few
other
people
and
he
was
building
a
stage
in
there
because
there
was
no
stage.
So
Tony
Kreft
was
building
a
stage.
Hand
made
the
stage
blah blah
and
he
said,
oh,
you
know
if
you
want
to
come
down
tonight,
bring
your
records
believe
you
do
a
bit
of
DJ’ing
I
said
right
brilliant,
so
I
went
home
that
afternoon
and
thought
right.
I’m
not
still
not
going
to
tell
me
mates….
Just
going
to
go
down
and
just
just
test
it
out
see
what
it’s
all
about.
So
when
I
got
there
at
night
this
1K
rig
that
they
had
hired
from
Audio
Workshop
was
it
was
all
there
but
they
had
to
Hi-Fi
decks
which
were off
separates
on
top
on
you
know,
we’re
the
table
were
near
mixer
and
I
thought
well
that’s
not
going
to
work.
I
said,
Who
can
drive
here?
And
a
guy
called
Witty
he
said
I
can
drive…
and
I
said
well
if
you
could
take
me
back
to
my
house
I
said
I
have
some
suitcase
decks
which
I had
for
mobile
DJing…
and
I
said,
I’ll
bring
them
back.
….
to
plug
it
in
and
away
we
go
said
that’s
not
going
to
work
with
these
Hi
FI
separate
decks.
So
he
took
me
back
to
Great
Harwood
….
come
back
wi’me
suitcase
decks
plugged
them
in
and
away
we
went
but
that’s
where
I
met
Shack.
who
was
the
other
DJ
and
that
night
was
absolutely
amazing.
It
was
the
First
night
that
it
started.
Was
you
there
Joe ?
It
was
a
little
bit
before
my
time,
right….
I
was
working
at
Audio
….
Workshop
so
dropped
the
gear
off,
right?
Yeah.
So
it
was
an
amazing…
to
say
the
room
was
so
small
when
I
went
in
the
afternoon
it
kind
of
expanded
when
it
was
full
of
people
and
they
had
strobes
you
know
just
an
old
strobe
machine
and
a
smoke
machine
and
that’s
all
it
were.
And
the
music
and
it
was
absolutely
amazing.
And
from
there.
That’s
how
I
just
got
involved.
That
was
my
first
introduction
of
Of
what
they
were
doing
the
movement.
So
so
yeah,
that’s
that
was
my
little
bit
of
that
was
my
introduction
of
like
getting
to
know
these
people.
So
the
week
after
I
did
tell
all
my
friends
and
they
all
came
from
Great
Harwood
….
and
that…
that
was
that
and
then
from
there
so
amazing
those
nights in
there.
I
remember
one
of
the
first
parties
….
I
think
it
was
the
first
party
that
was
in
an
old
bike
shop…
dissused
bike
shop
on
Johnson
Street
and
the
same
suitcase
decks
that
I
that
I
had
at
home
with
my
speakers.
Tommy
had
….
said
to
me
can
we
borrow
them
off
you
and
you
know,
you’ll
be
DJ
and
blah
blah
blah
so
said
yeah,
no
worries.
So
we
went
in
the
afternoon
set
the
gear
up
and
in
this
cellar
was
dissused
shop
on
Johnson
Street,
and
then
it
was
after
Crackers.
Everybody
went
from
Crackers
to
this
like
party
in
this
dissused
….
shop
and
I
thought
What’s
going
to
happen
here?
How’s
everyone
going
to
fit
in
and
it
was
in
the
cellar.
So
the
cellar
of
the
shop
was
where
my
equipment
were.
I
started
playing
a
few
records
Shack
….
was
DJ’ing
and
the
Jam MC’s
have
come
from
Manchester
they
were
there…
played
on
on
my
little
decks
what
I
had
and
then
when
everybody
filled
the
actual
building,
it
was
downstairs
and
upstairs
was
that
many
people
upstairs
the
all
the
dust
was
all
coming
from
the
ceiling
and
I
remember
when
it
all
finished
and
had
t’take
my
gear
home
that
night
in
a taxi
it
was
all
covered
in
white
dust.
Everybody
came
out
from
the
cellar
they
literally
had
dust
all
over
em
but
it
was
….
an
amazing
memory…
an
amazing
memory
and
that’s
really
where
I
kind
of
like
got
involved
and
just
from
there
and
did
a
few
More
do’s
with
them
and
and
DJ’d
right
at
the
start
at
Sett
End
and
then
the
rest
of
the
lads
their
kind
of
took
over.
So
yeah,
it
was
it
was
a
brilliant
time.
It
was
great
for
Blackburn
and
and
everybody
that
you
know
from
surrounding
areas
to
come
on
all
get
together
and
be
part
of
like
something
that
was
special.
What
apart
from
what
you’ve
told
about
that
start…
What
What
are
your
best
memories
of
it?
After
that
once
you’ve
got
going
what’s
best
memories
of
it?
All
of
it?
Well
you
and
also
you
started
off
Monroes ?
…
Yeah
with
my
friends.
Yeah
invited
me
to
do
Thursday
night
first.
That’s
right.
You
asked
me
to bring
PA
over!
remember
start
did
I?
Bloomin eck!
like
yes,
right.
We
started
that
you
were
saying
I’m
trying
to
get
this
thing
going
over here
right!
Yeah,
right…
Sorry.
Tell
us
about
Monroe’s
Well,
but
basically
I
was
DJing
from
like
1986-87
when
the
house
music
scene
started
out
always
putting
on
little
bits
of
do’s
on
in
Great
Harwodd
…
DJ’ing
in
all
the
pubs
had
a bit of
a
following
with
all
my
friends,
and
some
of’my
close
friends
a lad
called
Simon
Duxbury,
and
some
of
my
other
mates,
they
decided
they
were
going
to
like
they’re
going
to
take
it
a
step
further.
So
we’re
going
to
find
our
own
little
night spot.
So
I’ve
been
an
approached
Monroe’s
management
He
was
called
Simon
who
owned
Monroes,
steamy
windows
which
were
a
bloke
called
Ian
whose
…
legendary
now
and
said
look
we’re
interested
in
putting
a
night on.
So
the
next
thing
Simon
came
back
to
me
and
said
right
we’re
going
to
be
doing
a
Thursday
night.
Theyr’e
going
to
give
us
a
go.
Not
a
Friday,
which
we
wanted.
It
was
a
Thursday,
so
it’s
right
ok then.
And
so
I
think
that’s
where
Joe
came
in.
We’ve
got
the
sound
system
down
there
and
then
from
that
night
on
was
because
I
knew
quite
a
lot
of
people
from
Accrington
and
Clitheroe
…
….
….
only
a
few
from
Blackburn.
We
got
everybody
together
on
their
own
no
mobile
phones.
And
so
it
were
all
…
word
of
mouth
and
the
odd
telephone
call
from
from
the
telephone
box.
Going
and
everyone
came
together
and
from
there
started
on
Thursday
nights
and
then
it
came
to
a
Friday
night
and
Friday,
then
it
moved
to
us
up
there
and
that
that
was
another
another
part
of
the
journey
for
well
for
me
personally
been
involved
with
my
friends
and
and
all
the
surrounding
people
your
people
from
all
the
areas.
We
were
coming
together.
Well,
there’s
so
many
people.
Yeah,
laugh
afterwards,
you
know
an
itch.
Yeah
did
carry
on
after
he
carried
on
for
years.
It
went
through
all
different
scenes
of
House
music.
Yeah,
and
so
it
eventually
got
closed
down
and
then
it
I
think
car
driven
into
its
yeah
that’s
right
….
burn’t
to
the
ground
which
were
very
sad.
But
Monroe’s
…
is
another
part
of
the
history,
but
I
said
Crackers
and
Sett
End
with
what
you
know,
like
that’s
where
it
all
started
but
Monroe’s
was
part
of
it.
Of
course.
Yeah
some
fantastic
memories
from
there.
No not
really
No
….
All
good
memories
because
everybody
was
honest
it
was
a
Level
Playing
Field
every
was
same
for
everybody.
It
was
new
to
everybody
but
a
lot
of
people
together
who
wouldn’t
thought
they
might
have
got
into
that
music
because
it
were
Daily
Telegraph,
you
know,
the
party
after
two
o’clock,
you
know
in
the
morning
that’s
when
the
night
was
we
finish…
your
people
turn
up
the
shirts
and
ties
on
to
come
and
join
in
think
what’s
it
all
about
these
raves
and
these
illegal
raves.
So
so
from
there
it
was
it
was
an
amazing
time
from
start
to
finish.
What
did
you
do
after ?
When
the
rave
scene
dampened
say
….
after
the
when
the
Nelson
party
the
the
big
one
where
you
know,
like
that
was
like
kind
of
where
it
kind
of
died
down
a
touch
….
especially
around
here,
but
it
did
carry
on
it’s
over
Wigan
way
and
St. Helens
…
with
the
Revenge
parties
and
you
know
a
guy
called
lockie
who’se
not
….
was
not
not
with
us
bless
his
cotton
socks
now.
But
he
was
behind
all
that.
And
they
were
amazing
times
and
it
did
carry
on.
So
I
I
personally
just
carried
on
following
the
music
from
when
all
the
raves
….
finished.
I
carried
on
into
other
different
types
of
dance
music
carried
on
DJ’ing
It’s
only
the
last
few
years
that
I’ve
come
away
from
it.
So
in
all
those
30
years,
I’ve
been
DJing
quite
a
lot
of
them
in
different
friends
bars
….
bars
in
Blackburn
and
Burnley
and
loads
of
events
and
what
have
you
done
also,
but
it
always
comes
back
to
when
I’m
doing
an
event
if
it’s
a
private
one
Put
some
old-school
on
put
some
old-school
on…
and
you
know
that
when
you
put
that
music
on
it’s
got
great
memories
for
everybody
and
it
does
the
trick
every
time.
so
no
bad
memories
whatsoever.
All
good
ones.
Before
we
finish
this
then
is
there
anything
that
you
want
to
add
that
you
think
you
should
put
into
the
archive
for
some
kid
in
a
hundred
years
who
wants
to
know
what
you
lot
were
up to?
Is
there
anything
you’d
like
to
say
to
them?
Well,
basically
I
said
the
main
thing
was
it
brought
people
from
all
different
backgrounds,
especially
like
at
that
time.
There
was
a
big
football
hooligan
scenario
going
on
and
it
kind
of
quashed
a
lot
of
that
because
people
just
wanted
to
go
and
enjoy
yourself
and
let
their
hair
down.
That’s
when
we
did
have
hair!
and
all
come
together
under
one
roof
whether
it
be
in
a
warehouse
or
a
nightclub
or
a
function
room,
and
everybody
was
in
on
the
on
the
same,
you
know,
like
even
playing
field.
Enjoying
their
selves
and
having
a
great
time
and
meeting
new
friends
and
…
the
amount
of
people
that
I
met
through
all
….
all
them
eras…
you
know,
I’m
still
friends
with
people
now.
…
A
great
time,
you
know
meeting
people
and
people
you
never
probably
meet
that
sort
of
brought
a
lot
of
goodness
to
it
and
and
Blackburn
was
a
big
hub
for
it….
was
a
great
place
was
Blackburn.

said,
oh,
you
know
if
you
want
to
come
down
tonight,
bring
your
records
believe
you
do
a
bit
of
DJ’ing
I
said
right
brilliant,
so
I
went
home
that
afternoon
and
thought
right.
I’m
not
still
not
going
to
tell
me
mates….
Just
going
to
go
down
and
just
just
test
it
out
see
what
it’s
all
about.
So
when
I
got
there
at
night
this
1K
rig
that
they
had
hired
from
Audio
Workshop
was
it
was
all
there
but
they
had
to
Hi-Fi
decks
which
were off
separates
on
top
on
you
know,
we’re
the
table
were
near
mixer
and
I
thought
well
that’s
not
going
to
work.
I
said,
Who
can
drive
here?
And
a
guy
called
Witty
he
said
I
can
drive…
and
I
said
well
if
you
could
take
me
back
to
my
house
I
said
I
have
some
suitcase
decks
which
I had
for
mobile
DJing…
and
I
said,
I’ll
bring
them
back.
….
to
plug
it
in
and
away
we
go
said
that’s
not
going
to
work
with
these
Hi
FI
separate
decks.
So
he
took
me
back
to
Great
Harwood
….
come
back
wi’me
suitcase
decks
plugged
them
in
and
away
we
went
but
that’s
where
I
met
Shack.
who
was
the
other
DJ
and
that
night
was
absolutely
amazing.
It
was
the
First
night
that
it
started.
Was
you
there
Joe ?
It
was
a
little
bit
before
my
time,
right….
I
was
working
at
Audio
….
Workshop
so
dropped
the
gear
off,
right?
Yeah.
So
it
was
an
amazing…
to
say
the
room
was
so
small
when
I
went
in
the
afternoon
it
kind
of
expanded
when
it
was
full
of
people
and
they
had
strobes
you
know
just
an
old
strobe
machine
and
a
smoke
machine
and
that’s
all
it
were.
And
the
music
and
it
was
absolutely
amazing.
And
from
there.
That’s
how
I
just
got
involved.
That
was
my
first
introduction
of
Of
what
they
were
doing
the
movement.
So
so
yeah,
that’s
that
was
my
little
bit
of
that
was
my
introduction
of
like
getting
to
know
these
people.
So
the
week
after
I
did
tell
all
my
friends
and
they
all
came
from
Great
Harwood
….
and
that…
that
was
that
and
then
from
there
so
amazing
those
nights in
there.
I
remember
one
of
the
first
parties
….
I
think
it
was
the
first
party
that
was
in
an
old
bike
shop…
dissused
bike
shop
on
Johnson
Street
and
the
same
suitcase
decks
that
I
that
I
had
at
home
with
my
speakers.
Tommy
had
….
said
to
me
can
we
borrow
them
off
you
and
you
know,
you’ll
be
DJ
and
blah
blah
blah
so
said
yeah,
no
worries.
So
we
went
in
the
afternoon
set
the
gear
up
and
in
this
cellar
was
dissused
shop
on
Johnson
Street,
and
then
it
was
after
Crackers.
Everybody
went
from
Crackers
to
this
like
party
in
this
dissused
….
shop
and
I
thought
What’s
going
to
happen
here?
How’s
everyone
going
to
fit
in
and
it
was
in
the
cellar.
So
the
cellar
of
the
shop
was
where
my
equipment
were.
I
started
playing
a
few
records
Shack
….
was
DJ’ing
and
the
Jam MC’s
have
come
from
Manchester
they
were
there…
played
on
on
my
little
decks
what
I
had
and
then
when
everybody
filled
the
actual
building,
it
was
downstairs
and
upstairs
was
that
many
people
upstairs
the
all
the
dust
was
all
coming
from
the
ceiling
and
I
remember
when
it
all
finished
and
had
t’take
my
gear
home
that
night
in
a taxi
it
was
all
covered
in
white
dust.
Everybody
came
out
from
the
cellar
they
literally
had
dust
all
over
em
but
it
was
….
an
amazing
memory…
an
amazing
memory
and
that’s
really
where
I
kind
of
like
got
involved
and
just
from
there
and
did
a
few
More
do’s
with
them
and
and
DJ’d
right
at
the
start
at
Sett
End
and
then
the
rest
of
the
lads
their
kind
of
took
over.
So
yeah,
it
was
it
was
a
brilliant
time.
It
was
great
for
Blackburn
and
and
everybody
that
you
know
from
surrounding
areas
to
come
on
all
get
together
and
be
part
of
like
something
that
was
special.
What
apart
from
what
you’ve
told
about
that
start…
What
What
are
your
best
memories
of
it?
After
that
once
you’ve
got
going
what’s
best
memories
of
it?
All
of
it?
Well
you
and
also
you
started
off
Monroes ?
…
Yeah
with
my
friends.
Yeah
invited
me
to
do
Thursday
night
first.
That’s
right.
You
asked
me
to bring
PA
over!
remember
start
did
I?
Bloomin eck!
like
yes,
right.
We
started
that
you
were
saying
I’m
trying
to
get
this
thing
going
over here
right!
Yeah,
right…
Sorry.
Tell
us
about
Monroe’s
Well,
but
basically
I
was
DJing
from
like
1986-87
when
the
house
music
scene
started
out
always
putting
on
little
bits
of
do’s
on
in
Great
Harwodd
…
DJ’ing
in
all
the
pubs
had
a bit of
a
following
with
all
my
friends,
and
some
of’my
close
friends
a lad
called
Simon
Duxbury,
and
some
of
my
other
mates,
they
decided
they
were
going
to
like
they’re
going
to
take
it
a
step
further.
So
we’re
going
to
find
our
own
little
night spot.
So
I’ve
been
an
approached
Monroe’s
management
He
was
called
Simon
who
owned
Monroes,
steamy
windows
which
were
a
bloke
called
Ian
whose
…
legendary
now
and
said
look
we’re
interested
in
putting
a
night on.
So
the
next
thing
Simon
came
back
to
me
and
said
right
we’re
going
to
be
doing
a
Thursday
night.
Theyr’e
going
to
give
us
a
go.
Not
a
Friday,
which
we
wanted.
It
was
a
Thursday,
so
it’s
right
ok then.
And
so
I
think
that’s
where
Joe
came
in.
We’ve
got
the
sound
system
down
there
and
then
from
that
night
on
was
because
I
knew
quite
a
lot
of
people
from
Accrington
and
Clitheroe
…
….
….
only
a
few
from
Blackburn.
We
got
everybody
together
on
their
own
no
mobile
phones.
And
so
it
were
all
…
word
of
mouth
and
the
odd
telephone
call
from
from
the
telephone
box.
Going
and
everyone
came
together
and
from
there
started
on
Thursday
nights
and
then
it
came
to
a
Friday
night
and
Friday,
then
it
moved
to
us
up
there
and
that
that
was
another
another
part
of
the
journey
for
well
for
me
personally
been
involved
with
my
friends
and
and
all
the
surrounding
people
your
people
from
all
the
areas.
We
were
coming
together.
Well,
there’s
so
many
people.
Yeah,
laugh
afterwards,
you
know
an
itch.
Yeah
did
carry
on
after
he
carried
on
for
years.
It
went
through
all
different
scenes
of
House
music.
Yeah,
and
so
it
eventually
got
closed
down
and
then
it
I
think
car
driven
into
its
yeah
that’s
right
….
burn’t
to
the
ground
which
were
very
sad.
But
Monroe’s
…
is
another
part
of
the
history,
but
I
said
Crackers
and
Sett
End
with
what
you
know,
like
that’s
where
it
all
started
but
Monroe’s
was
part
of
it.
Of
course.
Yeah
some
fantastic
memories
from
there.
No not
really
No
….
All
good
memories
because
everybody
was
honest
it
was
a
Level
Playing
Field
every
was
same
for
everybody.
It
was
new
to
everybody
but
a
lot
of
people
together
who
wouldn’t
thought
they
might
have
got
into
that
music
because
it
were
Daily
Telegraph,
you
know,
the
party
after
two
o’clock,
you
know
in
the
morning
that’s
when
the
night
was
we
finish…
your
people
turn
up
the
shirts
and
ties
on
to
come
and
join
in
think
what’s
it
all
about
these
raves
and
these
illegal
raves.
So
so
from
there
it
was
it
was
an
amazing
time
from
start
to
finish.
What
did
you
do
after ?
When
the
rave
scene
dampened
say
….
after
the
when
the
Nelson
party
the
the
big
one
where
you
know,
like
that
was
like
kind
of
where
it
kind
of
died
down
a
touch
….
especially
around
here,
but
it
did
carry
on
it’s
over
Wigan
way
and
St. Helens
…
with
the
Revenge
parties
and
you
know
a
guy
called
lockie
who’se
not
….
was
not
not
with
us
bless
his
cotton
socks
now.
But
he
was
behind
all
that.
And
they
were
amazing
times
and
it
did
carry
on.
So
I
I
personally
just
carried
on
following
the
music
from
when
all
the
raves
….
finished.
I
carried
on
into
other
different
types
of
dance
music
carried
on
DJ’ing
It’s
only
the
last
few
years
that
I’ve
come
away
from
it.
So
in
all
those
30
years,
I’ve
been
DJing
quite
a
lot
of
them
in
different
friends
bars
….
bars
in
Blackburn
and
Burnley
and
loads
of
events
and
what
have
you
done
also,
but
it
always
comes
back
to
when
I’m
doing
an
event
if
it’s
a
private
one
Put
some
old-school
on
put
some
old-school
on…
and
you
know
that
when
you
put
that
music
on
it’s
got
great
memories
for
everybody
and
it
does
the
trick
every
time.
so
no
bad
memories
whatsoever.
All
good
ones.
Before
we
finish
this
then
is
there
anything
that
you
want
to
add
that
you
think
you
should
put
into
the
archive
for
some
kid
in
a
hundred
years
who
wants
to
know
what
you
lot
were
up to?
Is
there
anything
you’d
like
to
say
to
them?
Well,
basically
I
said
the
main
thing
was
it
brought
people
from
all
different
backgrounds,
especially
like
at
that
time.
There
was
a
big
football
hooligan
scenario
going
on
and
it
kind
of
quashed
a
lot
of
that
because
people
just
wanted
to
go
and
enjoy
yourself
and
let
their
hair
down.
That’s
when
we
did
have
hair!
and
all
come
together
under
one
roof
whether
it
be
in
a
warehouse
or
a
nightclub
or
a
function
room,
and
everybody
was
in
on
the
on
the
same,
you
know,
like
even
playing
field.
Enjoying
their
selves
and
having
a
great
time
and
meeting
new
friends
and
…
the
amount
of
people
that
I
met
through
all
….
all
them
eras…
you
know,
I’m
still
friends
with
people
now.
…
A
great
time,
you
know
meeting
people
and
people
you
never
probably
meet
that
sort
of
brought
a
lot
of
goodness
to
it
and
and
Blackburn
was
a
big
hub
for
it….
was
a
great
place
was
Blackburn.
