If you're wondering why so many of my generation ended up with the eyes and ears and minds that we did it's because we could watch stuff like this on schools programme. This is simply astounding.

You *could* listen to a podcast that somehow fails to acknowledge me or my book. But if you value actual research and proper journalism, you can read the definitive account of EMI and Terra Firma here. (Hem hem.) uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I loved recording this episode, Aaron explains why Castlemorton in May 1992 aka The Biggest Free Rave The UK Has Ever Seen was so important, so unlikely and yet such a pivot point - it went on for a week and changed everything for parties and protest ever since

Talk '90s to me @talk90stome.bsky.social · 2d

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨

The biggest illegal rave the UK has ever seen!

This week, @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social sits down with filmmaker Aaron Trinder, director of Free Party: A Folk History, to dig into the delirious mayhem of Castlemorton, Roundhouse raves, Glastonbury 1990 & more 👉 linktr.ee/talk90stome
