Uh....what?
Raves are illegal, hes purely just hiding the fact that there is raves in Ireland so that no little piggies who might be reading this thread decide to crash the party.

it's just your personal use of the word "rave" that i have a problem with.
your idea of a rave seems to be cheesy old skool hardcore in relatively big venues, with an entrance fee bordering on the pisstaking. i'd be willing to bet there are white gloves and whistles involved as well...

any proper rave that i've ever been to, has been a party organised by a few mates with a shared passion for going on a wild session in some remote part of the country. the only money i've ever handed over has been voluntary - to help pay for the rig and hard work put in by everyone involved.

sorry man. i just don't consider bringing slipmatt et al back from the dead for a night of commercial bull**** to be true "raving"

Wrong,ive been to hundreds of underground Raves with the music varying from Old skool hardcore to Acid House to Techno to Jungle,etc,etc,anyway old skool hardcore (most of it) is far from cheesy,your probably thinking of happy hardcore,and there was nothing wrong with white gloves and whistles that was all part of the scene back in the day,i agree with you regarding entrance fee though although it's like that everywhere

Since i began raving in 1990 ive been to literally hundreds of these type of events and yes they are very good,better than the glitzy so called superclubs,but old skool music was like that as well,illegal raves in warehouses,aircraft hangers,muddy fields,barns,etc ive been to them all

Slipmatt still plays out regulary but any old skoolers who know the score dissmiss him and others as playing the same old anthems and go to another arena when he or the likes of the ratpack are on,if you wanna know what old skool is really all about go to www.backtotheoldskool.co.uk and register on the forum,im a regular on there,you might learn a few home truths about what old skool Rave is really about and it's not all cheesy anthems either,take it from someone who knows.

There was meant to be a warehouse "rave" - they're referred to as "parties" these days - on on new years eve somewhere in Dublin, but it was a total shambles.

Me and my boyfriend paid 30 euro each for tickets and were told to ring an answerphone at 9.30pm to get directions...all there was was a message saying to meet at a pub at NINE...hello, why tell people to meet at 9 when they're not going to check the message til half nine?

Anyway, we got to the pub - pretty annoyed as we were going to drive to the party and there were no instructions emailed out on how to get there... - to be told it had been cancelled as they'd been "Let down by the buses".

Please...I doubt the bus company pulled out that night! Pretty sure it was a lack of ticket sales that did it. We got our tickets on the 29th and they were marked 20 and 21!

The Creation parties were brilliant, there were parties in Devils' glen and Donabate beach.. but I don't think they're happening anymore after the main guy behind them had all his equipment confiscated and ended up in court. Don't think he ever got his stuff back.

You need to get on the yahoo groups that announce the parties. You do need to be vouched for by an existing member, to keep the cops out

maybe this topic should be kept to PMs from now on

yes the creation gigs were great, I was at 2 in Devil's Glen and the one that got busted in that warehouse near the point at xmas time a few years ago, bastard garda wrecked it . Is this stuff still going on? I'm not as clued in as i used to be.

After being disappointed so many times in the past, I don't bother with any outdoor parties anymore unless I personally know the people involved. But when they go well, you can't beat a good aul rave Creation parties are always the best - Cozzy and co. have the experience to make it all run smoothly.

Ha, I remember everyone pouring into the Tivoli after that one. Good night after all.

that one was building up to be the best ones "EVER" and turned out the worst night ever, after the tivoli i got fu**ing mugged and broke my thumb by one of the friendly locals...

cocaine has ruined a lot of the good buzz that was about in the scene then & before then and a total police state has ruined chances of a decent outdoor party getting off anywhere about dublin :mad:
