Accip74 7,112 Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Oscars all nighters on clacton pier in the early to mid 90's were as good as it got for me. Where else could you drop an E & feel the floor bouncing, watch the sea, meet people from Cornwall to Glasgow, ride on a fairground waltzer & chill out stroking a stingray all in one night? Magic times for sure......:-) Edited October 13, 2017 by Accip74 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Accip74 7,112 Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Lol oscars was good not gonna lie. you remember roomers in clacton mate Yes. I spent more time than I should of in clacton. It was just up the road from me. My brother-in-law was head doorman at the Rockinghorse for many years.......which was real spit & sawdust! ....but Oscars in those early days really captured the spirit of the rave scene....;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ollieollie 766 Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 This thread stirs up some memories for me!! Tinged with a little depression as i will never get them days back.. Such an enjoyable and liberating period in my life.... The institute and the que club in birmingham, the sanctuary in MK, bagleys in kings cross to name a few. Me and my mates were committed travelling ravers, seems a lifetime away now. Family, mortgage etc makes me feel trapped when i think about them days. BUT, all good things come to an end and we must grow a little more sensible when we get older(not to much though), family life suits me now but id give a lot to be back there now just for one night with youth on my side 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was a very early venue for the emerging breakbeat scene. Stanton warriors, freestylers, plump djs etc. They would drain the pond, put a marquee over it and party all night. A lovely friendly place to go when the rave scene was being infected by moody tossers and mc's who you couldnt understand. The resident, dj kahuna played an unbelievably good set every week without fail 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
