ok so last night was having a good chat with my aunti online and got round to discussing free parties etc…she used to be a big time raver back in the day and is still very much involved in the scene even if its in a more in-direct way.anyway, i was talking to her and she gave me some links to bits about the history of free parties which I found really interesting given I don’t really know much about their origins etc.so i just thought id share the links she gave me with you all and enlighten those who maybe don’t know the history of the scene they love so much.

please feel free to post up some links of any historical relevance or otherwise up here as I’m really interested in reading about it all

Loads of my friends were at Castlemorton. I am just too young but I remember seeing it on the news and being very excited. I think the seeds were sown that day. :devilish:

I was at Castlemorton, just by this random chance

we were in oxford and this random girl came up to us at a petrol station and said there was a rave and to follow their car

was a really fun weekend…

not sure though about some of the spin that “bamtazia’s” website is putting on it, bear in mind at that time they were and still are a commercial organisation in direct competition to the free party organisers…

the free party scene thrived until well into the 21st century, and its demise in some regions is far more due to ravers own mistakes than the effect of law enforcement..
