[@geob3963]

Music is still feeling his influence. Thank you sir.

[@altitude-uf4ln]

'So I was sat there in my box at the Albert Hall, when I realised that Kazuo Ishiguro was sitting next to me: which was nice'. 🤣

[@Boatzerama]

Crazy Horses got me into rock music at the age of 7.

[@marklinesauction]

This was exceptionally good gents. Filled in a lot of gaps and served up a huge amount of insights. What a top bloke 🙌❤️🙏💫⭐️

[@satjinder]

Another's great interview thanks guys from an old time listener/viewer. Possible future guests- Tracy Thorn, Ian Brown, Bernard Sumner, Sting.

[@simonjohnson6581]

I can't get over how much his son looks like him! Absolute spit of him

[@petercouz]

love this, thanks!

[@kjek1]

Love this podcast so much. And grew up and went through school with Norman’s You’ve Come A Long Way Baby on repeat 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@makka7890]

Great video again. Can't say I'm a dance/rave fan but an interesting interview as always. Thanks guys.

[@matthewedwards1089]

Fascinating. I'm now discovering the videos.

[@Topi_S]

Paul Heaton next!

[@martinabrahamsmusic2141]

Lovely bloke and great pod cast lads. Gary if you see this, I was in Rock Till We Drop on BBC2 with your brother. He's a nice fella too 👍

[@DJTomOke]

Hmm he talks about taking the audience on a journey and deciding what route to take on the fly but the thing is I don't think he does that, all his sets look planned out and on rails, they have to be to be in sync with the lights and visuals etc. Its pretty much the same set in Paris as it is in Chicago - and it will be mimed. This isn't a diss, he's earned his way there for sure, but big stadium DJ sets are largely an exercise in miming, he just needs to show up.

[@petercouz]

Norman sounds like Phil Tufnell, hahaha

[@jamma10]

I was at the Brighton Beach gig in 2002. I's often recalled in a bit of a negative light these days but it was such a joyful day and night for the majority of us there. Those few hours around sunset especially will live me forever. It was our generations Stones concert in Hyde Park .

[@FitzElda]

I remember seeing the house martins support madness on New Year’s Eve 1985 at Hammersmith. I thought they were excellent.

[@IanFoster-rg7ge]

Cosi Fanni Tutti and Genesis P-orridge were also based in Hull.

[@B16YUG]

I wish Guy would invest in a new camera - the lens issue looks like his eyes are 2 miles apart!

[@NormanClaret1882]

I seem to find myself agreeing with Gary regarding his 'rock music' slant, but I have to say.... what another great guest. Ian McNabb soon pleeeeeease 😊

[@eightiesmusic1984]

Love Icicle Works but not keen on McNabb solo. I saw them in 1990 at Leicester University in the mark two incarnation and again in 2013 ( or thereabouts) at the 02 Academy in Liverpool. I still think it is a travesty that the band never had proper success in the UK. A first world issue for sure but their talent deserved to be more widely recognised.

[@rw8214]

Big Beach Boutique 2002 killed Brighton the scene, it was horrible.

[@FitzElda]

Acid house went massive in 1988

[@mikekaraoke]

I would say 1986!

[@eightiesmusic1984]

House prices went massive in 1988 before the crash.

[@FitzElda]

It was all just jive bunny from what I can remember

[@pressuredrop6173]

Ecstasy was magic mushrooms for children.

[@KevinJones-rk3gq]

roland gift and FYC are from bham not hull

[@richardpotter712]

Roland Gift was originally in a band called The Akrylykz from Hull school of Arts.

[@eightiesmusic1984]

Roland Gift lived in Hull. His mum ran a shop or some sort of business there I believe. Blue by FYC is the best denunciation of the Tories I have heard. Not a word wasted and withering in its contempt. It was released in 1985 and did not fare that well in the chart. Four years later they had achieved gargantuan success in America.

[@KevinJones-rk3gq]

@@eightiesmusic1984 he might have lived there but he came from brum FYC are from brum so are the beat whom the other 2 members of FYC came from, moseley ,you are wrong

[@eightiesmusic1984]

@@KevinJones-rk3gqYou are wrong to state I am wrong- nothing I wrote is inaccurate. Read it slowly again.

[@KevinJones-rk3gq]

@@eightiesmusic1984 he comes from birmingham and so do the bands he was in ,who are you? you are wrong

Wish i was rich enough to be a socialist.

[@basserphil]

fabulously informative but cruelly far too short, part 2 and 3 please fellas...

[@johnc5160]

Seems like a nice bloke, but he just plays records doesn't he? Surely anybody can do that!

[@edjones521]

Like any well-paid job where people say "anyone can do it", it begs the question "why aren't you doing it then?" If its so easy to make millions just playing records, surely everyone would quit their job to do it

[@RichRobinson]

He makes music in the studio but you can’t perform that live. DJing is its own art form but it can become a bit of a piss take these days. These days, some DJs sequence the whole set and literally stand around looking like they are creating something in realtime. I don’t think Norman is that kinda guy.

[@ianberridge2885]

He also just happened to sell millions of records in the 90s and noughties, and worked in multiple projects and bands. I think he's done OK! 😊

[@anthonyheathcote1932]

When i first started mixing records start of rave scene i thought i was great at mixing after a few years learning i realized i wasnt that good before

[@mattstrawbridge3342]

Are you being ironic or just crass? He’s responsible for some of best moments in dance history and has created a unique artistic sound as a DJ. He’s very,very far from being an ‘anybody’.
