The Hacienda
1990

Mike Pickering focussing on the job in hand in the DJ booth at The Haçienda.

By modern standards the set up looks pretty primitive, not a laptop/CDJ/USB stick in sight, but it more than did the job.

The actual booth is still in existence, having being auctioned off when the club closed

...and those decks are in my back room

“Hi 1963. I think I might have been in touch with you before about the documentary that I'm doing about the hacienda. All of my profits are going to kidneys for life and Cancer research.

Did you take the mike p photo, if so would I be able to use it in my film.

And do you own the decks?

Cheers Chris”

“Hi, I have been working on a restoration of the Formula Sound PM80 (complete with crossfader module) as used in the Hac from the late 80's onwards. I would love to know who owns the one from the Hac if at all possible so we can compare notes and photos. Thanks Chris.”
