Rave lifers tell us why it's acceptable to go raving aged 37 (and beyond)
"Age is just a number"
Arnold, 39
What would you say to someone who told you 37 is too old to go clubbing?
Honestly I'd tell them to fuck off and mind their own business. Going to ikea on a Saturday might be their idea of fun. But it's not mine.
What is it that you like about clubbing?
The freedom and the escape from the day-to-day drudgery of life.
Do trips to Currys/PC World fit into that drudgery?
Yes, anyone worth their salt knows not to go to PC World, you get better quality stuff and cheaper elsewhere. For my computer needs I go to small independent shops run by geeks, real people, instead of corporate drones on minimum wage that don't know what they are talking about.
What clubs do you normally go to?
It depends really. I don't have a specific club I go to. I pick and choose my nights these days and avoid the crowds that are just out to get pissed. A good night in Edinburgh is Anagram, playing banging acid techno etc. The stay up forever lads and the Welsh connection lot come up to play now and again. Always a good time in there and full of good people.
How often do you get to go out these days?
Not as often as I would like to, I work most weekends now. I'm only off one in every three so I'd say about once a month. If I wasn't working weekends it would be two to three times a month.
Who's your favourite DJ?
Graeme Park. Absolute legend and a really nice guy.
I'm just going to ask you a couple one or the other questions. Blu-rays or the rave?
Rave.
Power nap or stay cunted?
Hahaha you did read my comment then. These days, power nap.
Currys or Maplin?
Neither. Go to Maplin to check out the product then order it online for half the price. The spare cash can fund a night out.
Smart.
