Old School Rave Clubs

[Nobbylad]

Crikey....you lot are a bunch of young whippersnappers, the 'real' rave scene was in the 90's...proper warehouses (Liverpool, Blackburn/Nelson), beach raves (Southport) and all-nighters (Quadrant Park - Liverpool, Shelleys - Stoke, Hacienda - Manchester).

God I feel SO old now!

But still things seem to have changed sooo much even in my time. Dont know how you really olf folk cope!!

24!! you dont know what an old school rave club is ffs Glow sticks, floppy hats, meeting at Thurrock service area and waiting for a phone call with directions to the venue...ahhh, the old days...*Blows whistle*

There are a few club nights that go on in and around london, with the likes of Nicki black market, rat pack etc etc, but as for clubs, sadly not. Well none that i know of thats for sure.

Had a good night at The Fridge in Brixton earlier in the year when Infected Mushroom were playing a set.

Ok so Psytrance rather than OSR, but there were glowsticks aplenty.

ha ha alright grandad I caught the end of a era it seems. To be fair i think most of them round here were closed down for *ahem* various reasons!

I heard a legend once that there was a great club on the way to
Yeovil from Dorchester. Top of a hill, nothing around... but that one is long gone.

Years ago i use to go to a couple good parties in Exeter. I thinking London is the only place that would get close these days

They sometimes have reunion nights for clubs like Quadrant Park etc. I've never been, but can imagine that it's like a school reunion where it's just a bunch of old farts reminiscing about the good old days.

You were born in 86? You missed the best part of it then. 90-93 were the best years of rave, the hardcore eras. As being grandad, just about old enough to be dad

Agreed. Totally missed the best part. Dam my parents

Anyway, enough about you being old , we have come to the conclusion that there are very few places

SK: The Fridge sounds promising tho

That'd be about right. They've all shut down. Take those rose tinted spectacles off young lady.
