Here’s our ‘Carry On Up The Ness’ midsummer boat party ft DJ Harri 27yrs ago. 1st ever dance music party on Loch Ness. Vivid memory, staring at Aleister Crowley’s Boleskine House & an in-depth discussion for 3hrs about how Jimmy Page was the owner but too scared to live there. 👻

36yrs ago, Dundee Jute mill reggae band ‘The Grip’ siphoned fuel to make their way to Peckham, Sth London to record in the BASSment, of a then unknown producer called Neil ‘The Prof’, the recording lasted 6hrs = £60. The rest is dub history. The Grip met Mad Professor in Dub

Diggin’ in TSTC archive & found loads o stuff I totally forgot about. We printed 1000 of these fold out guides w/ map Dundee shopping/bars etc. 16yrs before the word ‘Creative’ was getting thrown about. We just did it cause seemed a good thing to do. Nothing more - nothing less.

Very cool to spend half a decade tub thumping about 'culture led regeneration' and then promptly close the best independent venue in the city. Just great stuff!

Really crap news about @thereadingrooms having to close because of Dundee's corporate regeneration programme. Seems so incredibly short sighted and petty. Wrote this years ago, about a place with a special charm. vice.com/en_uk/article/…

@lonelywolf097_M Jungle Palace was a huge night way back. I’d left town before then so didn’t attend any of the parties, however, word did travel to Jute city that they followed the same punk rock acid house ethos ✊

‘Let me take you higher’ 27yrs ago, we held the UK’s ‘highest’ secret rave party Kick’N’Hard 650mtrs on top Ben Nevis. It was featured on the Insiders tv programme. Here’s a little snippet. I’ll put more footage up soon. #secretparty #rave #acidhouse #inverness #scottishclubland

I’m sad to see @thereadingrooms are closing. I’ve made so many great pals there and also with the Reading Rooms Team. It’s a shame something so special has to come to an end. For years they supported what we were doing with @modelaeroplanes and I’ll be forever thankful for that.

@catmacphee Ah, Club Feet, that’s one of the venues we served our small town club apprenticeship. Was only a few weeks ago, I was digging in our dusty shoebox flyer archive and came across this from 35yrs ago.
