So the question is "What is RAVE?" So I'll ask that question again, so what is Rave? Perhaps you're now thinking? Good, about time, now a lot of people are thinking about the Negative Side, why? The answer is because they have read about Rave(s) in the comics they call Newspapers (Tabloids) or seen some bits on the television or somewhere? Now about you, yourself, have you ever been to a Rave? Perhaps you've been "CLUBBING", well, that's not a "Rave" where you sometimes go outside or stay inside the Club and see someone "Ruining Someone's Night", what do I mean? Fighting, Punching, and Kicking into another Human Being, nah, that's being Bloody-Stupid, playing the Fool, Idiot? No, that isn't a Rave at all!
Now, About Me:-
I got introduced into the "Rave-Scene" in 1990, where some very good friends took me to one, at a Disused Airfield in Oxfordshire, (I was living in Wiltshire then) that was the time when Raves were Illegal, Banned by the Last Government which were Conservative. Yes, I know that sounds like a joke, but it wasn't, Rave-Music wasn't played by Radio 1, was it? There was me, at 30 years old, worried sick about what I was letting myself into, worried because I'd read things in the Tabloids, seen things on the News on my television! My mates found out about this Rave by someone ringing him up to give him the Place and the Directions first on a Friday evening, so we travelled in a car, from Wiltshire into Oxfordshire, not too far away from RAF Brize Norton. On the way there we bypassed some Police Roadblocks, then found a Convoy of Cars, so my mate who was driving said "We're Close - -" or something and we became part of that convoy.
Travelling in that convoy through some county lanes we got there, parked up in a field next to the Disused-Airfield and we walked over to the Rave. I was shocked, it was FREE to enter! All we did was put
£1.00 each into a bucket as a donation! (If they charged money, the DJ's running it would have got ARRESTED!) So we walked into the Rave, there was some huge Marquees (tents), generators running outside each of them, powering the Amplifiers, Turntables (yes 100% Vinyl), and Speakers, such sounds from "Shut Up & Dance", "Altern 8", "N-Joy", "Bizzare Inc", Digital Orgasm and many more DJ's (Old Skool Rave as it's termed now) were playing from the turntables. There was Too-Many People there on that airfield to count, 1000's of People who were there for the "Sound!"
Now a Rave wasn't a Rave unless "
Blockbusters by
Skin Up" was played, and whoever the DJ was, he Mixed it with Thriller by Michael Jackson and that sounded Awesome (for the time, ha ha), naah seriously, could you mix those 2 tracks? Well, that weekend had converted me 100% for ever-more, when we left during the "Sunday Evening". During the time the rave lasted, the Police had entered "Freely", they found No-Fighting, No-Trouble, and left seeing No-Problems at all, so not one person was detained or arrested, thank you Oxfordshire Constabulary! During that weekend I met people who were genuinely friendly, warm and nice to know, they all shared One Common Thing, which was "The Noise", "The Dance" and "The Vibes", and they all chatted with me with a genuine welcome in their hearts. To see all of those people still dancing in daylight was something awesome!
So I was converted into the Rave-Scene "Big-Time", so Joanna (my Ex-Wife) and I, with our trusted friends (Dr Pancreas aka Pank100 & Gomez) started to go to a Weekly Rave at a local Nightclub called:
Golddiggers (in Chippenham, Wiltshire) and so it continued!
Here's a link:

Now here is three Videos which takes me back, the first always makes me smile"

The last Real-OutDoor-RAVE I had gone to (I'm stull 21 years old) was to The
Metro Weekender /
SouthWestFour, in the centre of:
Cardiff, Wales, on Sunday 26th August 2007!
(where I had introduced
Nina, my 21 year old Daughter to the Rave-Scene) on Sunday 26th August 2007, (that started at 11am and finished at 11pm)! During the 12 hours there, we saw, "Paul Van Dyke", "Sasha", "Roger Sanchez", "Eric Prydz", "Marco V", "Eddie Halliwell", "Sander Van Doorn", "Lisa Lashes" and a few more DJ's!
Oh yes, that cost me £25.00 each, for my daughter
Nin' and myself, (not £1.00) and a lot more for the Ravers who bought their tickets on the day! Again, I met a lot of genuinely friendly, happy people (who are around 1/2 my age) who wasn't there to cause trouble or ruin someone else's day! To be honest, I
hoped that I will go to the same Rave in Cardiff this year (
2008),
ha The SouthWestFour Missed Cardiff - Out for some reason,
ENOUGH-SAID!

& their's some life in me!
Oh those photos of Nina (my daughter) & me were taken @ a few venues we'd been to!
I thought I had better mention this before I accidently make a wrong impression. If I had, I do apologise right now.
Oh, please take a Visit to a damned-good Group I host & then perhaps join?
Anyhow I could continue and write a novel here, but I will not, so I'll finish, enough said!
