that's interesting, seeing I was AT his retirement gig in 2005 - there were queues round the block, people desperately trying to get tickets - turnmills was RAM-UP like I'd never seen it. He finished at midday - there were big features all over the dance press - and Tong interviewed him about it - his last ever e-mix was broadcast over the xmas
if he'd said, the restaurant didn't work out blah blah...I have to make a crust blah blah, then fair enough. HOWEVER to deny he ever retired is a barefaced lie and I suspect a lot of us who were there that night wouldn't mind getting our money back....
still love the man and all he's done but stories like this leave a bad taste...
