I was in the booth when Sasha & James Zabiela played b2b in Stockholm in 2003, the set later was played on Radio One. I was there invited by Zabiela. GU-board, man…

Keiron O’Brien from the kids TV programme “Gruey”, and he played the Happy Mondays manager in 24 hour party people. I was in his brother’s class at junior school and went to his eighth birthday party. We watched Rocky II 😂

Gareth Emery, the superstar cheese trance dj, was in my tutorial group at uni.

Nice but dim, had already made coin with a web site selling downloadable Nokia ringtones by that point, which funded his studying and record-buying.

I’ve mentioned this before, but I once went to TFI Friday and Electronic were playing - Johnny Marr gave me his plectrum, which was nice. In the bar afterwards I was stood next to Bernard Sumner and said hello - he asked if I had any coke and I said no, but I’ve got some speed - he told me to fuck off.

The one and only time I went to the Hacienda was in early 97 so it was in its death throes. Horrible atmosphere but was down in the Fifth Man when a clearly spangled Barney shuffled up next to me for a boogey. Daren’t say anything as the ‘associates’ with him looked like they might shoot me.Later on watched as 2 gangs kicked off with tables glasses and teeth flying everywhere. Went home.

Will Champion of Coldplay fame smashed a hockey stick into the side of my knee, rupturing my anterior cruciate ligament.

vinnyt77 Didn’t have you down as a public school boy Vin.

My Dad ran a malt whisky distillery up in Scotland, and part of his deal was that the distillery paid half of my and my sister’s school fees, so my folks thought it was too good a deal to pass up…

Most of the kids at my school were cunts - I’m only in touch with about 2-3 of them. Most of them were more along the lines of Ed ’I’ll vote Tory just because’ Smallman.

Good to know you went to public school Vin, you’re in the club!

Phil-McRackin I never went to the Hacienda (I was 17 in 1997 and had only just started going out) but heard similar reports about its moodiness.

6 I know went and had an absolutely shit night with similar tales (apart from the Bernard Sumner bit) and all tried to get in a taxi home. Taxi drivers wouldn’t let them all in one taxi because of the 5 person rule but eventually one of the birds snuck in a taxi with the others and lay on the floor. When the Manc taxi driver realised 6 had got out in Warrington, he grabbed a bat (presumably kept for self-defence) and chased her, swinging.

I’ll be honest, I’ve always found clubbing in Manchester moody as fuck, Sankeys always got a massive swervio from me unless someone amazing was on. Phoenix was alright. Always found the other places that sprung up, such as OneCentral, shit as well.
