actually I may have got the venues mixed up and it is probably Tribal with those events. The venue owners get warned by cops about advertising on sites like this or even too far outside the area as “it could put them over safe capacity” or “attract dealers from London” and given the history of this region the cops do have some weight behind their paranoia.
you are not going to get the “free for all” of the 1990s because folk across East Anglia are smart and have long memories. They won’t for instance allow Clacton to be used for any festival (even though it might bring in some money to a deprived area) as it kicked off between rival groups at one in 1971 (I wasn’t even born then!) and the locals won’t forgive or forget…
