The title “Never Get Out the Boat” is likely a reference to the famous line from Apocalypse Now - “Never get out of the boat, absolutely god damn right” - which became a cultural touchstone. Using it for a ferry-based series of parties is clever wordplay.
The Renfrew Ferry as a venue adds a unique dimension - parties on or near the water have always had a special atmosphere, combining the industrial heritage of the Clyde with the inclusive, boundary-pushing spirit of underground music culture.
Dric Mathie and Stuart McMillan (of Slam fame) were key figures in Glasgow’s techno scene. Having them helm a summer series would have guaranteed quality music and good crowds across these three months.
