How
did
you
first
get
involved
in
the
Acid House
parties
in
Blackburn?
If I
remember
rightly
I
think
I
was
DJing
at
the
time
when
I
was
18
I
think
then
and
then
obviously
we
were
talking
about
it
and
things
are
happening
I
think
someone
just
mentioned
Live
The
Dream
and
that
had
happened
a
few
weeks
ago
and
just
decided
one
night
that
we’d
have
trip
out
to
the
Sett
End
and
that
was
maybe
I
was
sort
of
like
yeah,
this
is
for
me.
Where
were
you
DJing
at the
time?
Yutick’s
Nest
…
Which
was?
On
Pringle
Street.
On
Pringle
Street.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah,
it
were
sort
of
like
bar
…
nightclub.
That’s right
If you
Yeah
I
can
remember
It had a
function room
on the
side
of
a
pub
great.
Yeah,
so
you
went
to
Sett
End
and
what
do
you
see?
Just,
basically
100s
of
cars
parked
outside.
Yeah
and
packed
club
obviously
weren’t
that
big
like
were it?
so
Sett
End
will
be
about
300
people…
something
but
rammed
to
the
hill
and
yeah
just
got
involved
that
way
really
So
you
got
in
there
that
night?
Yeah.
Cos
a
lot
of
people
said
they
had
real
trouble
getting
never
actually
made it
into
pub.
Oh
right.
Lot of
people
who we
have
interviewed.
Yeah.
No.
No,
I
got
in
yeah.
That
was
early
days
something
like
that
must
be
probably
September
October
89
Yeah,
yeah.
Yeah.
it were
89
cos…
Yeah,
and
did
you
go
straight
to
a
party
afterwards
did you
go
to
a
party?
We
did
actually
which
one
the
first
party
I
went
to.
What
do
you
remember
about
that
party?
Crazy…
obviously
you
know
tried
a
substance.
Yeah?
Yeah which
I’ve
never
really
done
before
and
what
I
remember
of
the
night
real
it
was
crazy,
you
know.
getting
home
in
morning
daylight
etc.
But
just
thinking
bloody
hell
that
was
something
that
you
know,
I’ve
never
seen
before
So
you
hooked
from
that
time?
Yeah.
Yeah
I was
to
be
honest.
That
was
it.
It
was
sort
of
like,
you
know,
couldn’t
wait
for
the
next
weekend
to
be
honest
and
see
what
were
happening
so
obviously
I’d travel
off
to
work
Saturday
night
open,
you
know,
there
was
somet’
going
on?
What
would
you
say
is
your
best
memory
about
it
all
can…
can
you
pinpoint
anything
or
a
couple
of
em?
There were
I
think…
I
think
they’re
all
good
memories
to
be
honest
because
it
was
just
a
scene
that
you
know
for
me.
I
wanted
to
be in
so,
you
know,
obviously
become
friends
with
people
and
that’s
what
happened…
it
was
just
sort
of
like,
you
know,
we
were
gathering
every
week.
The
next
question
is
of
course
do
you
have
any
negative
memories?
No,
no,
not
at all
I’ve
got
no
negative
about
it.
It
doesn’t
you
know
done anything
catastrophic
to
me
life,
or
you
know,
It
can
to
change.
Well
you…
you
after
that
started
renting
PA’s out
and
stuff
didn’t
you?
and
yeah,
I
mean,
yeah,
I
mean..
we
made
a
little…
little…
little
business
out
of
it.
Yeah
after
the
party
scene
obviously
bought
a
PA
system.
That
was
some
legal
clubs.
Yeah.
Yeah,
…
wi’ legal
clubs
it
I
mean
that
was
the
next
step
for
it.
Wasn’t
it
to
try
and
make
it
legal,
you
know,
and
enjoy.
This
sort
of
dancing
and
etc…
etc
into
clubs.
Sure.
Yeah,
and
it
happened
for
many
years.
I
mean,
I
think
you
know,
in
yourself
doing
it
for
what
4
or
5
years…
often.
So,
you
know
it
to
be
further
that
was
a
good
positive
that
come
out
of
the
back
of
it.
Nothing
really
nice.
No
nothing
see
anything
bad.
I
didn’t
see
anything.
Obviously,
you
know
the
police
involvement
and
everything
else.
Yeah
it
was illegal
you
know
also,
you
know,
what
are
we
breaking
any law?
We’re
not
breaking
the
law.
It
didn’t
see
much
of
a
problem…
So
no,
no
not
at
all
and
we
were
kids,
you
know,
we
were
teenagers
way,
you
know
exactly
so
it
was
something
different
at
the
time…
didn’t
go
in…
I
don’t
know
normality.
If
you
don’t
I
mean
it
wer’
better
than
normality
weren’t
at
the
time.
So
yeah.
If
a
teenager
was
to
come
across
this
archive
research
in
Blackburn
and
researching
that’s
enough
parties
from
100
years
ago.
What
message
would
you
have
for
them?
You
think
well,
if
anything
happened
wit’
the
parties
I
would
definitely
be
gettin’
involved…
you
know,
it
opened
your
eyes
to
different
things
in
life.
Yeah
and
just
go
out
and
enjoy
yourself.
Yeah,
and
don’t
make
trouble.
