When Roger Eagle ran Erics in Liverpool, every Saturday he got the bands to do a Matinee for under 18's. I got to see Joy Division, Stiff Little Fingers, Crass when I was 15. Look back now and see how incredibly generous that was. Much respect to him.
Great to see footage of Dave Godin speaking about this. Always be grateful for his efforts to keep the music alive as well as his excellent Deep Soul Treasures discs which he oversaw on the Kent label.
Nice to see dif. footage, Good old Dave, gone but not forgotten, chatting away about music 'up there' with Randy. Great to see Trickster on great form, as usual! Karen B
Proto Rave? A lot of the older guys I'd speak to in places like Wigan Pier or Angles in Burnley used to go the the Casino. The rave scene has a lot of parallels to Northern (especially in the North), the all nighters, the chemical enhancement, the music being based on African American music. A lot of the promoters had been involved in both scenes, and some of the clubs had been around long enough to hosts events from both scenes.
