Rewind Selector ‘90s is about identity, fitting in and enjoying the decade. “Drink and drugs and rock ‘n’ roll” was the trademark saying of the 1990’s but for the tee-total and drug-free Monahan it was “Cake and tea and R ‘n’ B”! He still went to all-night raves with his friends but instead of party drugs he used fun-size Milky Ways and Mars bars to keep his energy levels up so he could dance all night!
