LeftLion Interviews Podcast #1: DJ Graeme Park on Selectadisc, The Hacienda and the UK Club Scene

Welcome to the first episode of the ‘LeftLion Interviews’ podcast. Our guest is the radio and nightclub DJ Graeme Park.

Graeme Park began his career in Nottingham’s record shop Selectadisc, a job which led to him becoming a DJ at The Garage. From he became a resident at the seminal Manchester nightclub The Hacienda, rubbing shoulders with Tony Wilson, New Order, The Happy Mondays, Oasis and more.

Graeme has since become one of the leading figures in the UK rave and house music scene, worked as a consultant on the 2002 Steve Coogan film Twenty Four Hour Party People, hosted hundreds of radio shows and more. We discuss all this and more over this hour-long podcast.

This interview is a recording of a written interview that also appeared in the July issue of LeftLion magazine and on our website, with more content gems than we can fit into the printed medium.

We're recording some future LeftLion Interviews podcasts as live events thanks to the funding of Arts Council England. Tickets for those events are free - more details here.
