However, it wasn’t until a move to Manchester and what were to become regular visits to the now legendary Hacienda that the idea of buying Turntables popped into Mind. Upgrading from bedroom to club DJ, Hair Band Drop-Out under his DJ guise Andy Mara, played clubs & bars all around Manchester and Leeds before taking an offer to cross the Channel and venture onto German territory.
