March 1990 came. Word had got around there would be a march/rally against the Conservative Party's decision to ban our raves, they proposed The Criminal Justice Bill and were inforcing it, this meant that everything we had ever know was about to be gone.

We caught the tube up from Plaistow and met with our friends and heading down to Trafalgar Square. 

I have never seen so many people there, it was amazing, all young people of all colours and creeds were there, I can remember looking across a rainy sky at all the ravers wearing all brightly coloured clothing.

I can remember the singer Debbie Malone started to sing on a stage which had been erected, then a beatboxer started to back her on the mic, it was absolutely amazing. I was so proud to be part of it,

We all said our peice and decided to leave but word had it that there was a free party somewhere in Slough or Herts, from memory it was Hertfordshire and had been funded by Jarvis from Biology and a few of the others.

From memory it was a weird one for me, I can remember people laying all over the floor and just sitting about, I saw a few people that I knew from the 1989 parties, The Twins Sarah & sara ( very well known on the scene for dressing in costumes) and Micky & Michelle two girls I'm sure that were from Reigate, I often wondered what became of them and everyone else,

After a weird end to a good but weird day, we knew we were defeated and just waited out for rave to go in to clubs, legally...


We could only play it by ear and see what happens.

Stubbzie's House Classics Mix Vol 3

HACIENDA - JAN 27, 1991 - From the lost master tapes which turned up in storage last year, the raw master from my only Hacienda appearance in Manchester, U.K.   No editing or remastering, this is the raw uncut which I feel is important to keep in its original form.  There is a couple of glitches and noise issues but that is to be expected from a 24 year old DJ mix.
