June 18th - Longton: Shelley's Laserdrome

Venue owner John Matthews has some cause to be relived as Shelley's laserdrome long running battle with the local authorities and the threat of imminent closure are cast aside as the Longton nightclub has a reprive and is allowed to keep it's entertainments licence.

 

At the licence hearing that will ultimately seal shelleys fate, it is revealed that Staffordshire Constabulary will be lodging an objection to the license renewal due to the cases of "serious overcrowding" they have witnessed at the venue.

 

Luckly for Matthews and Shelleys legal team, Staffordshire Constabulary's objections are overuled.

 

 

 

June 21st - Coventry: Fusion

On the longest day of this year, midlands promoters "Fusion" summond the masses to "Solstice" at the Eclipse in Coventry, Leicestershire.

 

The promoters went fourth with the nights main theme to specially erect a replica stonehenge in the middle of the dancefloor.

 

Later that night, clubbers had a shock when practising druids took to the stage to bless their gathering!.

 

 

 

 

June 22nd - Milton Keynes: Perception

Perception will undoubtlely move up a gear this year as they attempt to host a mega-party that will be talked about in years to come.

 

A meeting of minds is formed as Perception's Chris Griffin forms an likely alliance with organiser Nick Sellers of "Total Control Events" to present the second "A Midsumers Day Dream" at the Milton Keynes Bowl in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.

 

Both organisers are clubbing [ pardon ] together and attempting to re-write the history books by hosting one of the boldest parties of it's kind to date.

 

Pre-publisitly for the mid-summers party shows a promising start as the organisers assemble a huge selection of current artists for their all-day spectacle;

 

808 State, The Shamen, The High, Nomad, N-Joi, Candyland, Gary Clail, Stevie V, Coldcut, Evolution, Flowered Up, Ruthless Rap Assassins, Paris Angels, Dream Frequency, PKA, Shades Of Rhythm, Sasha, DJ Easygoove and Slow Bongo Floyd.

 

In what could have easily been one of these parties that you would be telling your future siblings about, "A Midsumers Day Dream" turns into a farcical situation as the "party-of-the-century" has to be cancelled due to poor ticket sales and the official press release excuse of "torrential rain" in the weeks leading up to the party.

 

According to newspaper reports, when disappointed ravers went back to their places of purchase to get ticket refunds after the cancellation, ravers got a nasty surprise when they found out that one of the co-promoters had made a hasty exit with the ticket money.

 

 

 

June 28th - Bootle: Energy

After dazzling the Liverpudlian's with Southport's "Fun City" a few weeks back, Fun city's older brother, Karma's "Energy" touches down in Merseyside to host "The Summer Of Love" at Quadrant Park in Bootle, Merseyside.

 

A capacity crowd of five thousand are treated to a dazzling light display and sets from guest DJ's Sasha, Fabio, Grooverider, Micky Finn and Manchester's very own DJ Nipper.

 

Energy's first big party in Liverpool would turn out to be so popular for the organisers, Karma went back to the "Quad" to host part two a month later.
