Pulstating basslines of Acid House, the energy on a crowded dancefloor - it was where friendships were made for life.
It was Madchester in its rawest form, a cultural scene of iconic music from the Happy Mondays, New Order and the Chemical Brothers.
These awesome pictures go back to the late 1980s and 1990s when the music was lived - it was an iconic time. Will we ever dance like that again?
