So
Tracey,
what
is
your
connection
with
the
Blackburn
Acid
House
raves
from
30
years
ago.
I
started
going
with
my
friends,
a group
of
girls.
And
then
I
met
a
guy
called
Tony
who I
ended
up
going
out
with
and
he
was
one
of
the
main
organisers…
during
the
week…
me
and
Tony
would
go
out
looking
for
warehouses
and
come
Saturday
night…
when
I
was
one
of
the
ones
who
knew
where
the
warehouse
was
i’d be
one
of
the
convoy
leaders.
Whereas
…
whereas
previously
we
we’d have
gone
to
say
The
Cav,
Peppermint
Place
and
there’d
have
been
fights
men
would
have
been
hitting
on
you,
it
was
a
total
different
environment.
Nobody
ever
hit
on
you.
You
could
wear
what
you
wanted.
You
didn’t
have
to
be
dressed
up.
There
wasn’t
people
who
didn’t
get
in
because
the
bouncer
said
it’s
not
your
own
night…
It
was
just
a
feeling
of…
a
new
way…
a
new
way
of
life
and
it
was
just
brilliant.
And
erm..
how
do
you
think
it
changed
Blackburn?
oh it changed
Blackburn
totally
a
lot
of
the
guys
were
football
hooligans
weren’t
they?
And
it
changed
them
and
also
like….
they
learnt
to
dance,
and
they
learnt
to
get…
on
whereas
previously…
Well,
alot…
a
few
of
them
still
didn’t
get
on.
But
yeah,
everybody
seemed
to
become
friends
with
people
all
over…
race,
whatever
it
didn’t
matter
anymore.
Whereas
I
think
there had
been
definitely
some
racism
previously
and
definitely
if
anybody
from
out
of
town
came
and
they
didn’t
get
on
previously
they’d
have
fought
in the
nightclub
wouldn’t
they?
Yeah,
there
was..
there
was
always
a
lot of
fights..
people
coming
from
out
of
town.
Yeah,
and
it
just
changed
all
that
completely
but
Blackburn
at
the
time
…
apart
from…
apart
from
the
fights.
It
was
really
booming
wasn’t
it…?
It
was
it was
a
big
night
life
it had
big
names…
big
nights
out
wasn’t
it?
But
it’s…
…
….
I
think
we
all
wanted
something
different
than…
….
we
didn’t
want
to…
I’m
a
horse
girl.
I
spent
my
life
in
wellies
…
I
didn’t
want
to
be
getting
dressed
up
to
have
to
go out.
I
loved
going
out
in
my
jeans.
That’s
me.
So
you
could
go
out
and
actually
just
be
yourself.
