Reading between the lines, I wonder if he just hadn’t been offered the gigs he wanted in 2016 and 2017? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there two places - the Rabbit Hole and the Secret Rabbit Hole? I think there's the bit that is obvious and then a hidden bit. I've been to the normal bit but couldn't be bothered to muck around trying to work out how to get in to the hidden part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the ‘secret bit’ is what’s called Funkingham Palace. Although it’s not really so secret as there is a massive queue to get into it.

Maybe one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I thought it was a muddy hole the secret route, not a party tunnel! I'm equally unsure, do you end up in the same place as the Rabbit Hole stage or is there another stage only accessible through the tunnels?

I don't remember if I actually saw the entrance, only the queue for it. I asked a security guard and he told me what the queue was for. I think a few years back it was more secret but now everyone knows about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first British DJ to mix live on TV on The Tube in 1983. A Hacienda regular. One of the best producers in the re-edit genre… And all round good egg.

That's a lot of research from not knowing who he was 6 hours ago. I suppose its a Bank Holiday 😄 I clicked on the blog expecting to eyeroll at it but tbh I thought it was even handed and fair. Seems a better deal has been found for this year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
