Playing records for the folks at Good Good Vintage in Sheffield with a focus on 1990. Great year for music with indie/dance remixes, northern bleep/bass and amazing house music. Found a great article on Sheffield from February 1990 in an old copy of DJ Magazine (or ‘Jocks’ as it was back then).

Not long after my last Gatecrasher post a journo from the Tribune got in touch and I pointed her at the proof(s) and she updated the story very nicely with Raine's latest shenanigans -

Misty evening in Sheffield, 1937 by Bill Brandt.
He said “A feeling for composition is a great asset. I think it is very much a matter of instinct. It can perhaps be developed, but I doubt it can be learned"

New York in the snow by Saul Leiter. He said of his work
“I may be old-fashioned but I believe there is such a thing as a search for beauty – a delight in the nice things in the world. And I don’t think one should have to apologize for it.”
