I first saw Greg Wilson at his very first comeback gig at Danny Webb's 'Music Is better' clubnight way back in 2003. It was dreary, rainy, December night in Manchester at the now long defunct 'The Attic' on Oxford Road.
Although it wasn't that busy Greg had clearly brought out some people for the gig with notable heads from over the Pennines including Ralph Lawson. Everybody was blown away by the exclusive edits and Reel R2 Reel spins.
We had only just started El Diablo's Social Club back then and was instantly inspired. After the show we went about booking Greg for a party in Manchester as soon as we could.
I can't actually remember where that first one was but a particularly memorable one was in the basement of Centro (Now a sports bar on Tibb St in the Northern Quarter). We continued to book Greg regularly. A relationship grew and years later Greg asked me to help out with a few events he wanted to do do in Manchester. Another memorable being a Record Store Day takeover at the infamous DRY Bar on Oldham St. which had the late Howard Marks as compare!
Two decades on I am honoured to be involved in an another show to celebrate Greg's return to DJing.
Next Saturday 11th May
Greg Wilson, Danny Webb, Richard Hardcastle AKA Solid State join once again to celebrates 2 decades on basement
I hope you can join us to celebrate x
