February 24th - Blackburn: Nelson Rave Bust Tommy Smith and Tony Creft's long run of illegal parties in Lancashire ends abrupty in a warehouse on the Lomeshaye Industrial Estate in Nelson, Near Burnley, Lancashire.
The alarm bells start to ring at their latest Hardcore Uproar party when a contingent of around two-hundred riot police from the Lancashire Constabulary attempt to raid their party.
On their approach to the building, Lancashire's elite policing division also dosen't have it entirely their way as they faced fierce opposition from the guests who greeted them with a barrage of stones and other heavy objects.
Lancashire's biggest [ and last ] illegal party to date was witnessed by a crowd of over ten-thousand people who unsuspectingly, will see the end of a magical era in Lancashire pay party history.
Shortly before the party, a group of up-and-coming local producers asked the organisers if they could record the crowd noise for their latest track they are working on, the organisers agree in principle but insist that the name of the track is to be called "Hardcore Uproar".
With a live P.A. in the bag and with just minutes to spare, the producers sampled the crowd noise, packed up the keyboards and recording gear and vacated the building before the ensuing chaos unfolded.
Shortly after the raid in Nelson, an un-named newspaper reports that the local authorities had pulled off another successful operation due to recovering a substantial quanity of controlled substances from the scene.
As Lancashire's illegal party scene goes into a self-consuming freefall, a slew of legal parties takes place at Malfoy's Nightclub but after another bout of persecution by the local authorities, those parties come to a shuddering halt as well.
