A Homage To A Vinyl Evangelist
This photo popped up on Facebook recently, taken by Mark McNulty, whose visual documentation of Liverpool’s club/music scene of the past 3 decades is now part of the city’s cultural legacy. It’s a photograph of a record cabinet Bill Drummond made following the death of Roger Eagle in 1999, which was displayed under the title ‘Dead White Man’ in the Jump Ship Rat, an alternative gallery space in Parr Street during Liverpool’s inaugural Biennial Festival that year, but not as part of the official programme, more an anarchic fringe event.

New GW Edit T-Shirts
I've had a new run of t-shirts made with NoWayBack. Dom Mandrell's previous designs have proved popular in the past so I asked him to create something from an old photo I had done. What he came back with looked great so we've got a limited run of brown and navy, available here: https://www.nowaybackstore.co.uk/collections/greg-wilson Place your orders by next Thursday, to ensure you get a t-shirt from the limited run.
Coming Of Age – Golden Guinea DJ 1977-1980

Peza – The Other Lee Perry
In January 2012 I received an email from Lee Perry. My first thought was ‘surely not’, but it wasn’t – this was the other Lee Perry, not Scratch but Wolverhampton’s very own Peza. […]
5 Re-Edit Tips
The current DJ Mag carries a 4-page feature, ‘Close To The Edit’, about the re-edits scene and how, from being very much an underground activity, the domain of a relatively small number of DJs, it’s grown into a global movement – really hitting its stride with the emergence of SoundCloud following its 2008 launch, with re-edits now firmly established as a DJ staple in clubs throughout the world.

Remember Love
We’re trying something a little bit different in Liverpool next Sunday (August 6th) with an all-day get together at District & YARD (the venue’s recently opened outdoor area), under the banner of ‘Remember Love’ – a social gathering of friends, family, fellow fools and the faithful on a chilled-out summer Sunday in the Baltic Triangle.
