DJ Dave spins back to the 70s
DAVE Haslam celebrated the launch of his latest book, Not Abba: The Real Story Of The 1970s, by spinning his own favourite tracks from the decade.
The former Hacienda DJ has written a gritty cultural history of the 70s, which goes beyond the fluffy mainstream image of glam rock and platform shoes.
It took him three years to research and to celebrate it hitting the shelves, Dave partied with pals including Tracey Thorn, from Everything But The Girl, and The Beautiful South's Paul Heaton, at city centre bar Pure Space.
Heaton, who moved to Didsbury from his home in Hull a couple of years ago, is currently on a sell-out tour of outdoor forest gigs which saw him play Cheshire's Dalamere Forest on Saturday, with remaining dates at Sherwood Forest, Nottingham and Dalby Forest in West Yorkshire later this month.
