question for natives of leeds

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The Bridewell is the cells in the basement of the Town Hall I seem to remember...Stopped being used in mid-90s methinks (coulda been earlier)

...And surely it should be "T'chip shop"?????

"Scraps" In Wales (well South Wales anyway) are called "Scumps" - the tiny bits of batter that fall off - BTW your being ripped off if you have to pay for them!

a bit of both... although my relationship with techno has been a tad distant of late....

i used to do a bit of bedroom dj'ing. mainly detroit/chicago techno, bleepy abstract electronica & beatz/headz/trip hoppy stuff - plus8, warp, tresor, mo wax, etc etc etc :)

UR are very cool, and as i've said elsewhere, in the pant-fillingly scary stakes, they kick the s**t out of any dodgy darkling techno around these days :twisted: ;D :notworthy:

et tu?

Yep I'm a bit of a bedroom DJ too and have played a few parties in my time... I'm into most varieties of techno from harder loop-based s**t to deep chilled bleepy stuff. Faves of the moment would have to be Ben Sims and Akufen.

That's nowhere near all me vinyls, loads more are yet to be entered. Which could take a while seeing as I won't be seeing them for another 6 months or so :cry:

He was playing at my mate Jeet's night in "The Marcus Garvey centre" which used to be the Raleigh social-club ballroom in Nottingham, before Raleigh dissapeared... Was very good, but it seemed to be full of children, and I had to leave at 4 cos' I was knackered :urff:

Ah, the Marcus Garvey/Ballroom... Spent a few messy nites there a couple of years back! Didn't know much was still happening there. What's the nite your mate runs called?
