thing is im not even wanting to do raves as such – they are too big and i am too inexperienced. this is my first rig, and i have a full time job. so i hope even in surrey it wont be too hard to get a TENS thing through for something if its only 50 people.
its still hard as hell finding an actual venue though. I have found quite a few places but they all are national trust land/carparks…..
surely you cant just apply for a temp event licence anywhere? or can you?
I did read the post you put up btw, and it was very helpful indeed and gave me some hope about the scene 🙂
thats exactly the thing i want to keep going – im not into massive parties as there are (for me) always problems like people turning up just to deal, and all the arguments that go with that, people that are out of control and really aggro, etc.
so its little gigs, i rekon 50 ish people is a good number. my rig is about 5000watts but numbers dont equal loudness. imma find out how loud it is soon and i will get back to you. A good friend is going to sort lighting out, so it all looks good – the only problem is working out where is good places.
driving a van into the woods somewhere secluded isnt a bad way to go at all, and if/when the police do turn up i’m not after any hassle, id rather pack up and head home (crew in tow even) than piss people off.
we need to take the word rave back, so people stop associating it with just misery for local residents. problem is i guess that like all underground scenes it attracts its fair share of ne’er-do-wells who dont care about keeping things nice.. but then, iv been ringing round everyone possible, the council, the police, landowners, the national trust, and basically there is no legal way to put on an event even on common land that is owned by all of us to be enjoyed as such – so the powers that be have just forced it to be illegal, so now it cant be regulated or legitimised.
just like weed – its illegality doesnt stop anyone smoking, it just makes life shittier for those who choose to, with their god-given free will.
tank girl , i assume you relatively local to surrey?
what about you mr cheese person?im up for getting in contact, meeting up etc if anyone is interested in all this, should be an adventure rather than more of the same old…
is difficult. surrey has a massive population of middleclass whingers, and the police have to pander to the majority taste, which doesnt involve people having much fun.
plus, there arnt many places that really dont have any residentials within earshot, even in big woodlands there are mansion houses dotted around everywhere.
the problem with legal venues is simply the cost but thanks for suggestions, and i will ring round and see.
id have an asbo on my house in seconds 😉
but, perhaps its possible – i guess i could speak nicely to the neighbors… but they are mix of churchgoers, council estate scooter boyz and OAPs.
im not from guildford – but, i may end up heading out there for a test in the woods somewhere if i still cant find a location soon…
