Guest Dan Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 he's a bit of a twat but still an interesting and informative interview jon. the new york gay scene sounds like it would have been interesting (musically i hasten to add) and close parallel to the northern scene, buggery aside. i didn't know he was behind heaven. i used to go there occasionally in my days in london. quite an eye opener. blokes with the arses cut out of their leather trews snogging each other on the dancefloor - there's something you rarely see at Kev Roberts' oldies nights - and god knows what else going on in the little dark nooks and crannies. but good music and a laugh. his northern knowledge is great and if you could strip away the politics and the ego it would make a great book (or a big chunk of one).

Also Weather Girls, high energy etc + Take That's first producer. Year's ago we had a lodger called Greg living with us once, a real thug hard nut. He told a tale of giving a couple of 'nice boys' a lift to and from the Heaven Club. My mate said, "so it's fair to say then Greg, that you took two gays to heaven and back"!

lisahurley Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 That's an interesting site, it states Terry Noel as the first to "mix" between singles therefore being the first superstar DJ, but in the (IMO) best documentarty about Northern shown only up North a few years ago, Jimmy Saville claims to be the one who invented Djing when he told the owner of a club he needed two record players, "are they in that much of a hurry to hear the next record Jimmy?" he said, "my people are - yes" retorted Jimmy.
