Billie Ray Martin: "One of the first house music nights, if not the first, was at Heaven. I had been told there was something called acid house and that it was the new thing. There were about 50 people there that night in the whole place, all doing weird robotic dances, it looked so exciting. And the sound? My ears grew larger each second of it and my body wanted to move to this. My soul opened. It was like ' this is what I've been waiting for all along.' It was incredible, it spread like wildfire."

The term "Summer of Love" originated with the formation of the Council for the Summer of Love during the spring of 1967 as a response to the convergence of young people on the Haight-Ashbury district. The council was composed of the Family Dog hippie commune, The Straight Theatre, The Diggers, The San Francisco Oracle, and approximately 25 other people, who sought to alleviate some of the problems anticipated from the influx of young people expected during the summer. The council also assisted the Free Clinic and organized housing, food, sanitation, music and arts, along with maintaining coordination with local churches and other social groups.

Gary Clark and Ged Grimes grew up together in Dundee, Scotland and played together in school bands. [3] [4] Influenced by soul and pop artists such as Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, Burt Bacharach, and Hal David, they eventually moved to London, where they played in the bands Perfect Strangers and Dream Kitchen during the early 1980s. Neither band met with success: circa 1984, while still in London, Clark and Grimes noticed that talent scouts and journalists were beginning to follow the soul and pop scenes in Scottish cities. Returning to Dundee, they teamed up with Gary Clark's younger brother Kit Clark to form a new band called Spencer Tracy (after the film star of the same name). [4]

The inspiration for Shoom came from a trip to Ibiza to celebrate Paul Oakenfold’s birthday in August 1987. We went to this open-air, after-hours club called Amnesia where DJ Alfredo was playing and that was a pivotal experience. It was a combination of the spirit of Ibiza, the spirit of the people and this revolutionary new music, house and techno. We returned to London and sprinkled some of that Ibiza magic into the clubs we created. When I created Shoom in a basement gym in Southwark, it was a complete breath of fresh air. It was small and intimate and it attracted a group of like-minded people of all races, colours and sexual preferences, a mixture of art students, street kids and fashion people. It only held 300 people, but within a few months there were thousands waiting to get in. Gelatin Silver Portraits from the Summer of Love in 1967". Flavorwire.com . Retrieved August 31, 2019.

One woman’s first-hand flashback to the euphoric early 90’s UK rave scene.

Sheryl was no exception. At the time, she was the club editor at City Limits and could breeze into any club she wanted to. Except Shoom. “Jenni always gave me a hard time,” she remembers. “Even when mates of mine were DJ-ing […] she would still be like, hmm – don’t think so. It was frustrating, but I kind of loved her for it. She was protecting her own crowd.” And so, Paulette wonders why the story of women at the Hacienda has been “written out”. We’re sat in her garden on a sunny afternoon in Manchester, and she suddenly becomes more serious. “Every book you read about the Hacienda, every article – it just seems to gloss over the gay history and the female history of the Hacienda.” It’s something Paulette says she isn’t prepared to take lying down anymore. “History being history, I just feel it has to be factually correct. I was there. Kath was there. In management, there was Ang Matthews. There were women there.” History of Hard House". Archived from the original on 16 May 2006 . Retrieved 13 June 2006.
