Does anyone else know anything about this party? Matt and Paula reckon it was the solstice weekend, which seems to make sense. The dates we’ve put in the post title are Friday to Sunday, anyone know if that’s correct?
Shout going out to watermouse who alerted us to this video, thanks! And an even bigger shout out to dj jenjen (aka mis-chief) who shot the video

This party was summer solstice. The same weekend Spirals were at Longstock free fez. I drove a 40ft bus through the gate getting in to Peasdown and ripped the side off. Circus warp played all through. Circus normal set up but as far as i know didnt get running. Rumor was police sabotaged the genny. Years later when in Portugal i heard this party referred to as the shitty pant festival. News to me as i didnt shit my pants, again folklore had it that the bass and the E’s were so good. Funny to hear it regardless. Great party, great days.

PEASEDOWN 5000+! and it was a consolidated effort with the warped tent circus normals generator and sweat sound system.And yes someone cut the power cable we think other than that the weekend rocked.I saw dj dye play one of his best sets ever.I could go on forever about free parties enough to fill a book,but i find writing very hard

I can add this….first free rave (any rave for that matter! I went to was in Somerset / Avon and me Pete, Lisa and Emma (if you’re reading this) set off into the unknown. All we knew was that we were heading for a place called Peasedown St John. I remember very clearly asking a traveller where the rave was and he just kept saying “its raining” and we kept going “er…what?” and he said “Peasedown…..all the time” But I’m sure that actually we ended up at Radstock…wherever that is. Spiral Tribe were there. It was fucking mental and that weekend changed my life forever. I did 2 puple ohms within about 5 minutes of getting there. It did rain, but not until Sunday and the place turned into a boggy mess. Coppers were all stood outside, at the gates to the fieds, but didn’t come in and didn’t bother anyone. It was brilliant, great atmosphere, mixture of ravers in Fila and travellers with dreadlocks. I didn’t do any E, just Ohms….all weekend and Pete thought he saw God in the blue and red tent….looking back, it was probably that bloody sculpture!!!!

Yep! Can remember this event better. Circus Warp tent and remember having to cough up cash for the generator every now and again. Lots of good pills about and quite a few peope too. Lost some mates on Sunday morning in a field on the way back to our car. All we could see were their heads bobbing up and down and as everyone was tripping it made quite a sight in massive corn field…Good party!

i know that this is my video and was never asked if it was ok to use it on this site… nor have i seen any credit to my name anywhere :/ not that i actually mind (in the free party spirit) but a bit of respect goes a long way and it would have been nice to have been notified… aside from the respect angles, so i could link it up to my other works and websites …… peace

Cheers for the message. One of the people who posts on here sent us the link and we thought it would be OK to post it, as it’s a great video from a scene which there isn’t really much video footage of. We didn’t mean to try and grab any credit for it for ourselves, and we’re really sorry if that’s how it seems. Just let us know if you want us to remove the Youtube link from our site.
PS We just credited you for it, really sorry about not doing so at first!
