For episode #13 of this podcast series, I am talking to Bill Campbell for the third time about the ongoing Modeling Queer Utopias project. This July, Bill is working with Manchester international Festival to do guided tours of Islington Mill where he also talks about his own history with this space and where he would like the future to go. I will let Bill do the explaining, but if you'd like to know more (or buy a ticket to the tour) you can get more info on Manchester international Festival's website.

This "Liner Notes" podcast covers the release of my "Meditations: Metatron" album from 2011. METATRON was a musical alias which was heavily influenced by the dubstep label Skull Disco and released 3 EPs between 2009 and 2011 on the Little Rock Records and Black Lantern net labels. I talk about where I was at the time, who I was and where this music came from.

Every month in the 2023 I, the Niallist, am uploading to all the major music streaming platforms a different album from my back catalogue. The 5th album “& His Incredible Dancing Machines” is a work of digital reggae heavily influenced by 70s dub and 80s dancehall and in the accompanying “Liner Notes” podcast I talk about those influences, how it got made, and who/where/what I was at the time of making it.

Can you believe that we've got to ten episodes already?! TEN!
To mark this occasion I sat down with Nick Spalding who runs both LURID ULTRA HYBRID in Unit 2 of Regent's Estate, as well as the MIRAGE BAR (Mk 2) which can be seen on the ground floor of the main Mill building casting a lovely pink & purple glow into the dark streets outside. I wanted to get the story on both these wonderful and colourful venues, as well as the role played by the infamous Pat Butcher in establishing them. However, now Nick has gone public with this info we fear Pat may be taking a hit out on both himself and me. So tune in to get the full story before it's too late!
