Throwing unlicenced parties in the UK

Throwing unlicenced parties in the UK Posted on: 27.06.2013 by Wynell Muma hey guys, Been believeing about throwing parties today as it's obviously something that's regarded as important kick starting exposure for yourself as a dj, however I was wondering about throwing illegal raves. As far as i'm aware, you can't get in trouble if you organise a party through word of mouth and I know ways of doing this, but has anyone got any experience on here from throwing parties or raves away from civilisation? There Is obviously a lot of planning involved I know but getting advise of people who are experienced would be greatly appreciated! Also I'd prefare opinions of people from the UK for obvious reasons

I know the company I hire a sound system from wouldn't be too impressed if I told them the system they've spend 1000's building has been taken by the boys in blue I heard rumours of a law that says they cant impound your gear if its rented (or you say its rented) not sure how true that is and i wouldnt bank on it but if pushed to that point would be worth a go

Len Lukawski 06.07.2013	Used to be LOADS of illegal parties on the Isle of Wight. Nothing like being in the middle of field, looking up at the stars and trying to figure out what your name is....
Ressie Losiewicz 06.07.2013	There used to be a great community that I used for outdoor freepartys wich was NTA303.CO.UK (NTA = Northern Techno Alliance). Unfortunately the police became aware of it and began raiding and shutting down many of the parties. It would be great if someone could start a good northern (UK) based freeparty community /community again.

Matt Kane 04.07.2013	my advise. just start doing such raves, but avoid to use the internet for advertisment. only word to mouth! in the city where i live we have like several outdoor parties during the weekends in the warm months.
Wynell Muma 03.07.2013	Originally Posted by Sambo Way hey, Blackburn here. I sense a Lancashire Massive brewing! Although illegal raves in the north west would be so dull. Everything is so wet and gray. And cold. One thing to consider, is that if you did throw an illegal raves and the rozzers turned up, they'd be wearing those hi-vis stab vests. RAVE POLICE! WOO WOO!

Danae Dumler 01.07.2013	Originally Posted by xs2man Aye, blame someone who hadn't been prime minister for 4 whole years for that one. Thats almost a whole term of government. Of course, you could blame Thatcher for Acid House, and the boom of Rave Culture in the UK, as she was in power at the start. Cheers Iron Lady Actually Thatcher did inspire an incredible renaissance in music devoted to hating her, mostly punk rock but certainly including electronic music. But more importantly, her economic policies helped substantially increase the number of young people in various cities who were without work, living on the Dole, and feeling increasingly "left out" of official society and culture. So in that sense she certainly is responsible for the rise of acid house and the boom of rave culture! Heh, I had a good old time re-discovering old punk songs about dancing on her grave and the like when she died recently. I loved punk rock back in the day and while there were a handful of songs about Reagan (who was responsible for the same sorts of policies here in the US), there were always so many more from the UK, and most of them were much more clever
Danae Dumler 01.07.2013	Originally Posted by keithace I believe it was called the "crack house law" over here...let me do some of that google stuff.. If memory serves it was called the RAVE act, they made it stand for something like "Reducing America's Vulnerability to Ecstasy" (no joke). It applied previous laws that were dubbed "crack house laws" to raves, and "raves" were defined in terms that included something about "repetitive music". It didn't pass in that form though (thanks to some pretty politically engaged raver types and a letter writing campaign encouraged by drug legalization and free speech groups), but it passed a few years later with a different title. (It was ultimately passed under shady circumstances, being attached to a child abduction bill so that nobody would oppose it. Annoyingly, the Senator responsible for that deception was Senator - now Vice President - Joe Biden.) Probably more than you want to know about it

Yukiko Spruell 28.06.2013	Originally Posted by slinkydisc Doesn't the UK have specific anti-rave laws from the old acid house days, mates have told me stories of being chased by police helicopters after outdoor raves. Now that takes me back, happy days.
