A man has been fined £1,500 for repeatedly blasting the dance track “Born Slippy” after ignoring official warnings to keep it down.

Neighbours complained the Underworld song, used in the 1996 film Trainspotting, was constantly blared by Clyde Taylor in Greater Manchester.

He was issued with a five-year noise ban and could face prison if he does not stop, Salford City Council said.

“The 55-year-old from Eccles ignored police requests, official warnings and a legal notice to carry on blasting out dance music and playing his bass guitar until 3am,” the council said.

A statement said the man would blast music during the working week, at weekends and into the early hours.

After receiving the first noise complaints in early 2019, the man reportedly “accepted he was being unreasonable”.

Noise nuisance continued, however, and he was issued with an abatement notice which he ignored, the council said.

His stereo equipment, TV and multiple speakers were twice seized by the council.

He replaced the equipment both times and continued to blare his music.

Now, magistrates have issued Mr Taylor with Greater Manchester’s first ever criminal behaviour order against statutory noise nuisance.

Councillor David Lancaster, lead member for environment and community safety, said: “This is an unprecedented case which could have been avoided with a bit of neighbourly consideration.”
