For starters, Dave made me want to get out more and go to cooler places.
He is about 30 years old and definitely beats me in the cool-factor (crack gallery;hacienda;fanzines;roadhouse-I have been to the roadhouse, thats one cool-point for me).
He was there in the 'Madchester' scene, and talked about how its whats in the margins, in the grotty and grimey parts, its the fragmentedmusic scene, it's not being the norm, its about what's raw, what's different and being a 24 Hour Party Person that counts.
The points I really picked up on...
-in the 80s, people worked in empty spaces: mills, warehouses, 'dead spaces' ; what if we made use of dead spaces now, or non-spaces?
-raw. things that are raw. does this mean not being contrived? just original, not planned, but new.
-small, small scale, small venues, spur of the moment?!
It was a really interesting and engaging 40 minutes, a great start of hopefully great things to come.
