May 23rd - Gomera: The Shamen

The london scene is left to contemplate as a freak holiday accident tragically takes one of it's leading lights. Will Sinnott [ a.k.a "Will Sin" ], one half of the success story that is The Shamen, drowns off the coast of La Gomera in the Canary Islands.

 

Just a few weeks after shooting the video for their forthcoming record "Move any Mountain", Will and his girlfriend went back to the picturesque island to chill-out and recuperate from the recent hectic schedule. Whilst out swimming, Will's girlfriend had gotten into difficulties in the sea and Will went out to save her. Will Sinnott rescued his girlfriend, but the cruel mediterranean sea would take one half of the Shamen.

June 7th - Stratford-upon-Avon: Perception

This summer is all about raving outdoors, huge circus tents and Perception organiser Chris Griffin. On a mission to entertain their guests, Chris and the crew launch their summer season with the aptly named "The Summer Celebration" at Long Marston Airfield near Stratford-upon-Avon, south Warwickshire.

 

 

June 15th - Ossett & Morley: The Orbit

Two unlikely market towns in western Yorkshire are changed forever as a new group of organisers called The Orbit makes their debut in their area. The local folk up north are spolit for choice as the promoters begin to host their parties out of two venues just seven miles apart, Ventor Way in Osset [ a small town on the outskirts of Wakefield ] and The Afterdark in Morley [ just outside of Leeds ], west Yorkshire.

 

Not without it's initial teething problems, the organisers run into trouble with a few irate local residents near the Ventnor Way site due to the noise from the guests leaving the venue afterwards. After a raft of complaints from their neighbours, plus the unforeseen logistical issues [ the organisers have to ferry the guest DJ's between the venues by mini-bus ] the organisers eventually calls time in Ossett to develop and concentrate their efforts in Morley.

 

 

June 16th - London: Sunday Roast

Fabio, Grooverider, Tamsin, Top Buzz, Micky Finn, Younghead, Moose and Chalky White... Sunday Roast opens for business at Tall Paul's Turnmills club in clerkenwell, east-central London. As a majority of the clubbers in the metropolis sleep off the excesses of the night before, Paul Roast and brothers Everton and Kingsley Taylor will buck the trend and host their parties on sunday evenings.

 

This strange and heady concoction of sunday night dancing, heavy vibes and hardcore music proves to be a instant success with londoners as the club is suddenly transformed into the proverbial sweatbox and is rammed to capacity every sunday afterwards. Word on the street starts to spread of Roast's sunday night sessions which leads to massive queues stretching round the block. Unluckly for some as a majority of the ravers in the queue will miss out on this experience.
