? April 1992: Spiral Tribe Free Party on Selsey Common, Stroud, Gloucestershire

By freepartypeople

A mate of ours remembers that the police turned up at some point to try and shut it down, realised it was too big to stop, and buggered off again :) …

Here’s some more memories:

a guy pulled a gun on someone and spiral stopped the music and said that it wasn’t on, so get the fuck out of here.. all the ravers boo’d the gun guy until he had no choice but to leave.

music back on, party continued.

it was a pretty crazy party all told. getting there was quite a mission as well, climbing up that hill. I think the soundsystem caught fire at the beginning, or some wires did anyway. and then eventually it all kicked off. great place to see the sunrise as well.

edit: also pretty funny to see people walking their dogs in the morning. what must they have thought!

Does anyone have an exact date for this? Or any more detailed memories?

    I wnt to this and remember having to walk up the hill,

    Beano was there from Bedlam and they had trouble with the rig at first and the bill did turn up at night but couldn’t stop it as it was to big.

    I the night some Geezer pulled a gun and was trying to steal peoples Trainers, so the Rig stopped and every one boooed the Twat and he left.

    I remember walking to the edge in the moring as the sun was coming up and you could see for miles, it was blinding.

    The bill did eventually come and stop it ,so spiral tried to move it back to there site but the bill was on top of it and it never kicked off.

    I think it was Selsey Common , April 92.

    freepartypeople say: Thanks again Bob! I’ve changed the title of this post to include ‘Selsey Common’ rather than ‘Stroud Common’.

    Was at this one.
    Hell of a job carrying gennies and rig up the side of the hill as the police would’nt let us use the wee side road to the top.
    Met up with a mate who I grew up with but hadn’t seen for ten years, Darren who was with Spiral.
    First K experience too. Odd.
