I know this sounds a bizarre question, but I can’t think of another way phrasing it.
I'm a journalist dreaming of Ibiza sun on a miserable Scottish November night. Last summer I managed to write a big piece for The Scotsman about the joys of being a middle-aged clubber which I enjoyed doing, even though the trip cost me more than I earned. Now I’m trying to think of angles so that I can get back next year.
One thing that intrigues me is the way that the island has gone from being the poorest part of Spain to the wealthiest in about 30 years. There must be quite a few people around who’ve been on the island for a considerable proportion of that time and contributed to the change. I’m thinking about people like Tony Pike and John Moon who were around years before Ibiza became the island of dance.
I know vaguely that a lot of the clubs grew out of the whole hippy/traveller scene, but it would be interesting to know more. Anybody got any suggestions of who would be good to talk to?
