And
err
where
did
you
live
at the
time
Jay?
I
lived
in
Manchester.
And
how
old
were
you
at
that
time?
I
was
19
How
did
you
get
involved?
I’d
been
DJing
quite
successfully
in
Manchester
….
at
the
Thunderdome
which
was
a
real
seminal
underground
club
that
was
really
popular
and
I
think
we
just
heard
about
it
word-of-mouth.
really
err
Jimmy
who was
Tommy’s
brother.
He’d
been
coming
to
the
Thunderdome,
but
there
was
just
massive
convoys
of
cars
anyway
going
up
to
Blackburn.
So
that’s
how
I
got
involved
really.
Had
you
even
heard
about
them
before?
Yeah,
I
think…
I
had
yeah,
yeah,
yeah
cotton mills
and
things
like
that
but
not
as far
as
a
music
scene
goes.
So
what
we’re
asking
people
generally…
what
are
your
best
memories
about
it?
Like
….
how
do
you
remember
that
time?
In
general
or
at
Blackburn?
Blackburn.
It
was…
it
was
very
free
it
was
us
against
….
them
society
it
really
was
really
a
time
that
you
really
felt
a part
of
something
I bet
a
lot
of
people
have
said
that
but
even
for
you
know
as
a
DJ
and
you
know,
you
had
quite
a
following…
to
see
that
massive
huge
influx
of
people
from
all
over
the
country
was
still
an
unbelievable
sight
and
an
unbelievable
thing
to
feel
like
you
were
part
of…
it
sort
of
blew
blew
your
mind.
It
it
really
made
you
feel
like
you
were
part
of
something
quite
special.
What
were
the
key
parties from
Blackburn for you?
To
be
honest,
I
have
the
horrific
memories
of…
of
where
and
when
even of
me,
you
know,
a
lot
of
me…
me
own
gigs
that…
I
wouldn’t
say
I
have
any
particular
names
of
it
because
everything’s
a
blur
don’t
forget
before
I’d
go
to
Blackburn
I’d
be
playing
for
four
6
7
8
hours
and
then
I’d
go
up
there
so
specifics
of
the
names
of
the
parties…
that
I
can’t
really
recall
so
that…
Are
there
any
moment
in
any
of
them
that
you
would
recall
call?
Yeah,
I
mean
there
was
there
was…
there
was…
lots
of
moments
I
think
when
my
friend
Suddi
Ravel
when
they
played
his
tune
Hardcore
Uproar
that…
really
sticks
out
for
me.
I
think
it
sort
of
blurs
into
one
it
was
just
that
that
it’s
like
a
lot
of
gigs
that
i’ve
done
anyway
the
it’s
just
the
overall
feeling
of
it.
You
know
that
massive
huge
amount
of
people
it’s
almost
like
being
at a
football
stadium,
but
it’s
a
club
and
that
was
before
the
days
of…
sort
of…
super
clubs
and
and
huge
massive
venues
it
was
the
biggest
group
of
people
just
going
absolutely
wild
they had
no
worries.
It
was
just
pure
gay
abandon
which
you
probably
couldn’t
use
gay
abandon
in
the
same
context,
back
then
but you
can
nowadays
really.
