The closest we came to exporting the Haçienda experience was by hosting theme nights around Europe and America. Rob saw them as a way of promoting the brand further, which now is a very common thing to do but was difficult then. For a while, Ang co-ordinated them. She booked the talent, the idea being that that the promoters subsidized the tour. But the events all lost money, so what we hoped might be a source of revenue turned into a burden and had to be underwritten by us.You’ve got to be very,very clever to book a tour,because of the expenses. They proved to be demanding, and as soon as anything or anyone became demanding, Rob would always mutter, ‘Oh, fucking pay them off.’ He hated arguing about details. If a promoter argued about the hundred dollars it cost to take the DJs from an airport to a hotel, Rob would say, ‘Oh, fuck it. Don’t argue, we’ll just pay it.’ And that was it for the tours. However revolutionary the concept may have been, we never broke even.
