Carl Cox 4 The Eclipse.

Carl Cox 4 Eclipse. That first Saturday night/Sunday morning experience in October 1990 was put on at the former Granada Bingo Hall in Lower Ford Street by local entrepreneurs Stuart Reid and Barry Edwards. Coventry City Council were powerless to stop them because no alcohol was being served and only private members were allowed to buy tickets. As such, they didn't need a licence. You could smell the council's displeasure. Rap star MC Tunes was booked to play that first night. He did, for five minutes at least. That's how long it took for his sound system to pack up and for him to leave the stage shouting: "Get the sound sorted out! We'll be back soon." MC Tunes didn't return, but that was the only setback to what was a hugely successful night.Ravers danced non-stop and were treated to an extravagant light show complete with lasers and strobes.
