Ive noticed the pills now like the 300mg blue punishers and similar are double in mgs to back then but they defo have something missing now and the long lasting effects arent the same now .

Them paint markers for tagging were posca markers and the edding wide nib things and potmates (i think) i had all them as a young hooligan 😂

hope house of all come to aberdeen some great musicians there saw the imperial wax line up at the falls last aberdeen gig amazing rhythm section

Loved dry bar around 89 / 90though it was a good walk to the Hac and remember Leroy well, my Mrs was a fan!

Great work Paul. Lovely guy Simon. A true gentleman and talent. Keep it up. X

Mark Reader used to work in the original little Virgin Records shop on Lever St

What a really interesting guy Si seems to be. I went to see The Fall at the cathedral in Manchester on the dedication not medication tour what a band live. Massively respected throughout the music industry and everywhere else.

Love to see the old school showing up, Spirit of '76' ❤✨💫🧚🏼 Bands are all about the chemistry between those 4 or 5 people, sometimes it works, sometimes it dont, Great chat 🐝

like everyone in Manchester i know someone who was (very briefly) in the Fall (Kate Themen - top person) Me and my housemate at the time went watching Hey! Luciani at the Riverside Studios , after it had finished we were "well?" .."Not a clue.."

Part 2 is brilliant lovley man is Simon x

Brilliant Banksy, grt interview, Simon comes across as a top down to earth guy with some fantastic memories.👍🤟

Simon should be getting gigs as a DJ on 6 Music or something. Top stories.

Another amazing video Paul - I love watching these

Love the channel, you should do an episode for Harri and Domonic, Sub Club longest running house music in the world. Glasgow.

Absolutely wonderful Paul. Thanks mate. Amazing 🤩 happy Christmas and a lovely new year xxx

Nice one Paul ❤

First went to the No. 1 in April 91 and went every Saturday for the next 2 years. As a young, straight man, I was really apprehensive about going. I needn’t have worried, a really inclusive and friendly place where I had some of the best nights of my life. Tim Lennox was absolutely brilliant. I still have some tapes from back then.And I’m one of the Urmston lot! Don’t Let It Show On Your Face is one of my favourite tunes 🙌🙌

Another great interview. I spent many a Saturday in Spin Inn. Like many, I recorded Mike Shaft and Stu Allen every week and still got the tapes

Tom Wainright is a legend, we used to see him each week at the Republic in Sheffield and he would give us mixtapes.

Got similar background to Jeff.. brought up in a two up two down, overun with mice in lower Broughton.Cant stand mice ever since. Moved to Ordsall, loved the place.

Uncertain smile 12” excellent song

Brilliant stuff Paul. Tom is a true gent and really needs more accolades for his involvement during his residency. Ace dj and great to hear his insight. Keep em coming. Cheers. Les

I met Simon in a bar in Heaton Moor last year. I recognised him and started a conversation with him. Absolutely lovely, humble bloke and very engaging. Top interview 👍

Another top interview…..Tom is a great dj

I could listen to this for another 2 hours. No mention of cowboy builders, the fungeon and marathon running. I always wondered how many promos came through the post!

Nice one, really fascinating interview. It's really interesting to talk about whether or not there is a new, revolutionary movement round the corner, and whether or not we'd be too old to know about it...I've been to a few events at the DBA in Cheetham Hill and it reminded me in some ways of Paradise Factory. It might not be revolutionary but it's still pretty subversive compared to mainstream entertainment, really good mix of people.. gay, straight, queer, trans, old, young, pretty grimy place, not sanitised and expensive, and really DiY

Good interview 👍

Excellent stuff! ❤

Another great interview 👍

Tom Wainwright was one of my DJ heros when I was growing up. Parky & Wainwright proper DJ's playing good music for the crowd and not just themselves. No gimmicks needed.

Paul you need to watch the DJ Fat Tony podcast with Dodge Woodall mate.Irvine Welsh is making the film ✌️

I remember tom from the hac 88/89 i remember one morning about 7am walking round hulme with him and about 5 others mark and aidy from blackpool was with us i think usual saturday mornings in them days great times 😊

Nice one mate 😉

First night of their tour is going to epic in Nottingham. Can not wait.

What a very interesting interview. It's great to hear the stories of DJ's whose path with music and the music scene was similar to mine. In the north east of the UK I was into New Wave at school but then became a Break Dancer and started collecting Hip Hop and Electro records in the early-mid 80's. I ended up dancing in a crew and also performed at events and nightclubs as an young teen. I got into soul music and became a massive record collector. I started DJing in 1988 playing soul and funk, but started collecting and playing proto House and 'Modern' soul, like Soul 2 Soul. I then embraced the House/Rave scene, DJ'd now and then but preferred to be on the dance floor. I have many very memorable moments of those early days, going to clubs in Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester and being a part of it all. Club Havana and The Arena in Middlesbrough were my favourite places. I still have my decks and records and still love to DJ, it's a passion that has never faded for me in my life! Thanks, I really enjoyed listening to this interview. Big respect, peace and love!

Very insightful interview with arguably the nicest man in House music.

Cracking interview Paul, a few interesting points raised. I'm lucky enough to call Tom a friend and he's a lovely and incredibly humble guy. Not only that he's a seriously underrated DJ, impeccable taste and brilliant technically. Great to see him back out gigging again.

We absolutely loved Tom, used to get in the club early doors to listen to his warm ups… really enjoyed the interview thanks for posting.

Another great interview 👍🏻

Great video nick can't believe how much you remember but not giving carmel a mention an didn't jazz deflectors play corbs but love it x

Eminently watchable. What a great guy Funky Simon is. I'll be looking out for his book.

Great interview. I can't believe you got a tattoo from Cockney Paul, Dermo. I need to see that, he was one of the great old timers. Good mate of my Dad's. He was a character, laugh a minute. Looking forward to the new music most of all. Take it easy.

Cheers Paul I’m piecing up things from the past I’d forgotten about from all these interviews your doing.

Absolutely mint mate! Great story. Drummers and bass players make bands great and Manchester had them in f**kin droves. Geordie's love mancs. Get Renni! 👊

Great chinwag , first gig l went to was in 1972 at Southampton guildhall it was Slade , Thin Lizzy and Suzi Quatro my big sister took me as l was only 10 years old . What was your first gig ?

Wots great is the way its not a list of questions..but 2 guys having a conversation...keep it up...johnny marr would be good too ...as would mike joyce ..but separately 😂 of course.😊

Fantastic! Part 2 should be good 👍

Top conversation lads. ..looking forward to part 2.

Always brilliant to hear Funky Si.....a real interesting fella and a gentleman to match x

Went there a lot in the late eighties, it was such a special place . Remember Jeane - B side from This Charming Man and Chainmail by James and a great song by That Petrol Emotion that I can't remember the name of. Best thing about jukebox was that often the money did not register so at the end of the night I always went to cash return tray and had enough for one extra pint. Anyone remember a guy called Dave with a very floppy fringe, best friends with someone called Martin who later did pot collecting. Still think he is the nicest person I have ever met.
