Tonight is the 28th anniversary since this all-nighter in Milton Keynes. I don't have very fond memories of the evening as I remember draconian security taking cigs/booze and any up all night additives from folks in large quantities as we went in, I was OK of course having prepared myself outside, lol. But once in it was bloody freezing and the concrete floor was rubbish to groove around on and it was more like being stuck in a giant aircraft hanger than a proper venue and the sound was rubbish inside, I think I left by 2am. The Sanctuary closed in 2004 and is now an IKEA.

Here’s a bit the Inspiral Carpets did to explain how they recorded the theme tune:

Seeing that Number 73 video reminded me of my favourite Saturday morning show from back then. On BBC, during the summer months in the North was The 8.15 From Manchester.
The opening credits had a theme tune by The Inspiral Carpets and referenced some of Peter Saville’s Factory design work. Lovely stuff:

- ..(it was a blue Astra called 'Bubbles' if I memba right). Once, in the car with my Dad and we stopped behind him at a red light and my Dad's all 'Boomer'..Nairn
- ..shaking his head saying "Prodigy? Just who does this prick think he is?" lol I didn't unpack it for him, coward that I was/am.Nairn
