check out the granada presenters. class.

considering there were virtually no mobile phones and no internet back then, it's amazing how they managed to get the word out where the rave was at the last minute.

Used to meet up a service stations, outside pubs, country road laybys etc...

Went to loads in warehouses, caves, farmers fields, quarry's. Did go to a cracker in the mid 90's in a quarry in Wales.

Meet up at some country pub, ended up having to go through a stream (knee deep) through a load of fields and someones back garden* to get to the quarry


* One of the funniest thing seeing 100's of people jumping over this garden fence and running through this garden as the family were sat in their living watching tv wondering wft was going on


Happy days indeed

sounds expensive but it was very rare that you had more than one and if you did you regretted it. the last time i had a session on the pills i had 30 at a cost of a £1 each.

Are pills better now or worse?

they're f***ing shit. when i was at leeds festval this year i had about 8 at 7 in the morning and they had worn off by the time my missus was ready and we were on the ale at 12. i used to have 1 in the mid 90's and they would last all night and you'd be off your face. i once double dropped in smiths and thought i was going to die.

I've never been one for pills and powders myself. Don't trust them. If they've been made by some c*** in his kitchen then god knows what's in them.

If Believe was taking jack n jills in 1990 then I'd seriously question how he was raised.

Some good sunday mornings at Knutsford Services as well

I cut my teeth in Sequins in Blackpool, Mix Factory DJ's, class
Shellys in Stoke
Hippo's in sunny Middleton
Then moved onto The Gallery in Leeds; one of the Utah Saints part owned it, some great nights

To go back to those days, just for one night, would be class
