Faces in Music: Paul Banks - LSD to Ecstacy

Welcome to Faces in Music, a new series where we capture memories from music past - ONE PERSON, ONE STORY - From ravers to legends, pioneers, and unsung heroes of Manchester's iconic music scene, we will be documenting people's music stories.
This first episode to start us off is by Paul Banks from the channel ‪@PaulBSceneStories‬ who has been making waves interviewing people from Manchester's music scene - real experiences, struggles, and triumphs that shaped the music movement. In this series, Paul sits down with musicians, DJs, producers, and cultural icons who helped craft the unforgettable sounds of the Acid House and Madchester scenes of the ‘80s and ‘90s. From the legendary Hacienda nightclub to underground venues that have long since closed, these stories will take you back to a time when music was changing lives.
With Faces in Music each episode captures one individual and their unique story. It's all about celebrating the people who made the scene what it was-and what it still is today. Whether you're a long-time fan of Manchester's music scene, or just discovering it, Faces in Music offers an authentic look into the lives of those who lived it, loved it, and created it.
If you love exploring stories about music, culture, and real-life moments that defined an era, this series is for you. And if you've got a story from the scene that you'd love to share, we’d love to hear from you. Visit the link below to find out how you can get involved!

I used to love Prague 5 on Canal street, i remember Miss Moneypennys transforming the place one night…..brilliant. We used to go from there to berlin which was next door to Bookbinders, they used to do R & B upstairs and Funky house downstairs another great place only lasted a few years. From there we started going to 2 Risqué at North which was the old isobar and for me that was one of the best club nights I’d ever been too the djs were so good.

Oh that's you, Acid house Trance goes very deep through your body and soul when on lsd, Read vice I was the resident Acid dealer at the hac ,football hooligans took it and stopped fighting with away fans and listened to acid house on their walkmans.
