"I have never forgotten the first time I saw Sally. It was Orbital's
first headline gig at the Megadog night held in North London's Rocket
venue in downtown Holloway Road. Strawberry red hair, a Cheshire
Cat grin, and a stripy red-and-white bobble hat perched precairously
upon her head. She came to symbolise everything we loved about the
alternative dance scene. The gig was the start of something new,
the beginnings of some sort of scene. This was the first time the
Megadog posse had let a dance act headline one of their nights.
Before this it had been the Magic Mushroom Band and the Ozrics -
basically psychedelic rock. But now and for evermore it would be
Dance, Dance, Dance."

| "Sally
would become a much-loved permanent fixture on the vibrant healthy
kicking new scene. If us lot were the audio side of things - Orbital,
The Aphex Twin, Spooky, Drum Club - the Sally was the visual side.
Loved by all who knew her, she never had a bad word to say about
anybody. She was truly unique in an industry as fickle as ours.
We still can't believe she's not with us now - she was a beautiful
person who radiated goodness, probably too beautiful for this fucked-up
world. I'm sure she's up there now, hanging with Kurt, Sid, Marc
and the rest of the party people having an absolute ball. Party
on Sally." |
