Cheers for the links!
The History section is a great read!
quote:
The location of these events was a closelly guarded secret up untill an hour or so before the start. Meeting points would be made available through flyers and pirate radio stations (Sunrise, Centre Force, Fantasy). Mobile phones were still widley regarded as Yuppy toys but thanks to BT's messaging service they became an ideal way to co-ordinate people to different meeting points (Motorway service stations usually) and eventually the venue itself. It generally turned into a game of "follow the car in front" untill you find a party. By keeping the venue secret like this they could get everyone on the move heading for the party or in the wrong direction if needed. The police have no option but to follow. So the end effect is that 1000's of people can decend on one location in a matter of minutes. Once a party's goes past a certain size there is, in reallity very little the police can do.

makes me all nostalgic that does...
I still have a load of flyers and a lot of 12"s of those tunes from back in the day- they are worth a fortune!
i will dig some out and post some pictures on this thread later today
I even have a ticket from one of those events mentioned, which (and im not exagerrating here) changed my life.
Without those events, the music scene would be very different today.
