Graeme Park

Graeme George Park (born 4 August 1963) is a British house music DJ and is widely credited as one of the original founders of the UK's rave/club scene, notably as a leading figure of The Haçienda club in Manchester, England.

Beginnings Park started out working in the Nottingham record shop, Select-a-Disc Records, from where his early forays into DJing were at The Garage Club (later The Kool Kat) in Nottingham, The Leadmill in Sheffield, and other clubs in the Midlands and North of England. It gained him an invite to join Mike Pickering (of M-People fame) at the decks of The Haçienda club in 1987, where he played until the venue closed in June 1997.

His long career first began in the early 1984 playing acid house around numerous bars and clubs in Nottingham. Park was the runner-up to Danny Rampling in the inaugural Best DJ in the World Award by DJ Magazine in 1991.

24 Hour Party People Park was a consultant on the film, 24 Hour Party People, and also appeared in it DJing on set alongside Steve Coogan who played the Factory Records boss Tony Wilson.
