dont think Radio1 is such a big game player now the internet has taken over, there are a thousand different avenues to get your music heard nowadays.

I guess its down to what part of the country you lived in, not everybody was listening to radio 1/tong back then. phones:

808 State / Mix Factory - Sunset FM, Manchester
Astrix & Space - Fantasy FM, Sheffield
DJ Sy - Rave FM, Nottigham
Fantasy FM, London
Green Apple FM
Jay Weardon - Renegeade FM, Manchester
Kiss FM, London
Kiss FM, Manchester
Kool FM, London
London Pirates
Passion FM, Belfast
Pulse FM, London
Quest FM, London
Stu Allan - Key 103, Manchester
Signal FM, Stoke
Slam - NHS, Glasgow
Tom Wilson - Forth FM, Edinburgh
Wear FM, Sunderland
etc etc etc.

and FFRR is only one label.

Yeah, but it's over now, the damage is done and it's been flogging a dead horse for years.

Click to expand...

for us it's over, we've have had our time, that's why we're on an oldskool site reminiscing about our time, when it mattered to us.

young guys coming up will think the music of now is their time, if they listen to our music from the early 90s they will think its crap, that how it works.

life is a conveyor belt, they are just stepping onto the conveyor belt of life, we are further along the conveyor belt looking back at the times we had when we stepped onto the conveyor belt.

last night might have been a young guys first time getting out of it, dancing all night, to them last night was their woodstock.

I dont think he single handedly guided the scene to the state it is in now, you are giving him too much credit, there were many suited business men behind the scenes pulling the strings.
