that the take up for House/Techno was stonger in
Leeds/Manchester/Sheffield.
London was still doing its rare groove thang (and moved more towards
acid
jazz) when the North started to move from Rare Groove to House/Techno.
I'd agree with this, it isn't London or Sheffield - I'm thinking more
along Manchester/Birmingham/Berlin. London was way behind Manchester,
Sheffield was before and Leeds I know nothing about the early scene - I
don't ever remember traveling to a club there - it was always
Stoke/Wigan/Manc/Sheff/Mansfield for me...
I wasn't asking to start an argument, I really am interested in peoples
views.
(The club sets were a lot more open too, you would hear all styles of
music
in one night - gets nostalgic)
A lot of people forget this, I remember Inner City being slammed in
PWEI at the Hac - people still went nuts.
