The Hacienda - The Club That Shook The World - Sat BBC2 10.15pm - featuring me

They got me on because I went before and during the Acid House explosion and talked about how it changed and because I was into both guitar and electronic music. They filmed me going through my Factory record collection at one point.

Trust me, though, being E'd up when house exploded was a hundred times better than being beered on up on a Monday or Thursday night.

I was there pretty much 5 or 6 times a month between '92 and '94. Christmas eve '93 (Sub Sub live) was a particularly messy night.
 
Have I ever told the tale on here that I was an extra in 24 hour party people?
As mentioned above, the house shite said nothing to me about my life but I went to the filming of the Hacienda scenes for the film in a recreated set in a warehouse in Ancoats. I spent the evening people watching on the balcony and for about 10 mins went onto the dance floor (maybe I needed a piss?)
During that time I managed to get my mug in the film as Coogan passed next to me and then I ended up on the inside sleeve of the CD soundtrack!
Bottom left with grey Hoodie on.
I've been on Eggheads heads too.

National Front Disco?
 
I went from 88 til 93. NUDE night was ace (and not just house) but last two years were wank and not sure even now why I kept going once Salford took over the door.

It’s turned into our very own Cavern.

I imagine Peter Hook has made his money back that he lost during its actual existence…and then some. How can you celebrate 40th birthday for something that hasn’t existed for 25 years of that time is beyond me….bah humbug!
