#castlemorton — Public Fediverse posts

In May, 1992, 50,000 people descended on #Castlemorton Common for a week-long party that scandalized Middle England and rewrote the rules of British nightlife. This week, #MirandaSawyer sits down with filmmaker #AaronTrinder, director of Free Party: A Folk History, to dig into the delirious mayhem of Castlemorton, the legal fallout and the cultural shift away from #raves and how the fallout changed nightlife culture to this day.

true story... I played keyboards with #Astralasia at #Castlemorton Free Festival 1992 on the Wango Riley stage.

I think everyone else must have been "unavailable" due to psychedelic drug use..

I'd never played with them before.. but we did some "kosmic" jams.. these may have involved the key of Em and D.. and sometimes A

I had a Roland Sound Canvas, a Roland SH-101 and a DX7 at the time

my recolllection is a bit blurry TBH, but quite strong so it must be true
