This week its all about one of the most ground breaking nights ever. Vague in Leeds. Paul Fryer who was one half of Trannies With Attitude (residents and co promoters of the club) has kindly agreed to be interviewed.
Paul Fryer interview part 1.
What clubs did you play at?
We had been at one time or another residents at The Zap (Brighton), Golden (Stoke), Sankey Soap (Manchester), Nice (Newcastle), Tall Trees (Middlesboro), Passion (Leicester) The Ministry of Sound (London), Trash (Sheffield), Paradise Factory (mcr), Lakota (Bristol), Venus (Notts) and many others...it was a long time ago so I forget...and we played just about every other significant club in the UK between 1993-1997.
What were your favourite clubs to visit?
Venus, nice, golden was always mental, the zap, trash...actually there were very few we didn't enjoy.
Favourite DJs?
The late Sir James Saville OBE, Ralph Lawson, David Jacobs, Nickelle, Gaz Mayall, John Peel. Of the house DJs we played with I would have to say again that they were mostly fucking brilliant.
Favourite remixers?
...from back in the day Skylab, Arthur Baker, Armand V H, Rollo, Hardfloor...but these days I have to be honest and say that i haven't got a clue.
Favourite producers?
George Martin, Norman Smith, Martin Hannet, Eno, David Byrne, Shep Petitbone, Youth, Rupert Hine...too many to list really. I also really respect musicians who produce themselves. Unless it sounds poo.
Favourite own productions / remix?
Disco Biscuit, Nasty Girls Sonic Conditioning Mix, some of the Bazooka Joe records, some of the stuff I did when I worked for Fendi (1999-2004)
Favourite record labels?
Harvest, Decca, Parlophone. They are just so evocative.
