The year was Summer '95
i was between my first and second year at Uni, Dodgy played at Glasto, Blur (country house ) vs. Oasis (roll with it) was all over the radio and Prodigy were on the 2nd leg of the 'Jilted' tour (i saw them twice - once before keef cut his hair!)

i spent the summer working in the Next head office warehouse with my mate Adam via an agency also listening to these tunes earning a pittance. Listening to the same station at probably the same time but a seperate life way. Truely happy days

Love it - I still try and listen to live music and search out stuff (one of my cycling buddies is a bit trendy and introduces me to such things as bombay bicycle club etc) - but isn't it funny how much your youth is reflected through music.

It is was also a great feeling of freedom and coming of age when you are lucky enough to link leaving school, having a beer money only job, and a social life you can only now dream off (and immunity to hangovers).

Having someone in your group that has a set of wheels, and the endless possibilities of that long hot summer, and where your life will open out.

I am only 35, but already it seems a lifetime ago!!!!

I am going to dig out some oldies via Spotify and wrap myself in some nostalgia....
