CBIT Misura Not really anything new there is there - just confirmation of what a strange individual he is.
Djpekingman CBIT He’s a fucking lunatic. The man responsible for foisting Ayingerbrau lager on the world. Absolute loopy juice. Tinshill club used to sell it. Ask any former local about its effect. How you’d keep a quiet swear free pub while knocking out that stuff will remain one of life’s great mysteries.
CBIT Djpekingman Had a few nights in the Emmott's on that, always ended up causing some form of mayhem
Djpekingman CBIT Ditto. Banned ourselves eventually. Mate of mine got married at Rawdon church and we were all late including the groom. That marriage didn't last long.

Flaneur I was having an É Soul Cultura session tonight and went down a Luke Unabomber rabbit-hole. Through that, I found this interview of Hewan Clarke by Greg Wilson, about Manchester clubs/scenes/dancers. Thought @cordshoes and @king_of_the_slums would like it (if you've not already seen it): https://electrofunkroots.co.uk/interviews/hewan_clarke.html
l.q.navarro. Flaneur There was a Berlin reunion night, in early December last year in Manchester that I went to. Playing were Hewan, alongside Colin Curtis, Giles P + Harvinder Singh. Top night. Greg, Luke, + other recognisable faces were there in attendance.
