ILLEGAL FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO DANCE

[@DannyStreet-u4w]

Started going Shelly's in late 1990 & never looked back! As soon as those amnesia nights hit on a Saturday my life was complete. Mental nights but on the odd occasion we would drive to Coventry & go an all nighter at the eclipse on a friday. And if that wasnt enough stoke also had entropy on a friday night or delight at shellys for the house/piano heads. I went to the first new age event at the eclipse & that was the best night out ive ever had with book of love a close second. These days are that precious to me im in tears writing this. Thats how deep this shit runs. What a time to be alive & 18!!

[@MITCHBR0WN]

Enjoyed that! Went to a few Amnesia house raves in 1992 including the book of love where Mickey RIP got married... And the Donnington Park one 🙌

[@kristianbaker41]

What a story. A few years before my time in the clubbing world. But would never had the chance if it was not for people like this. Legends. Bring back the good old days.

Wicked Documentary ...About time Coventry and Amnesia House input to the UK scene got added to the history books in a proper way. Can't wait to see the rest of this unfold.... Where my musical blood was born .

[@bizzarelovetriangle7318]

brilliant !this docu is so honest and beautiful!you really made it from the heart

[@mazzer89]

Great insight into the rave culture. Brought back memories thanks

[@MrKevjwill]

My first rave tape was Doc Scott mc man Paris when I was 12 ..... Coventrys finest Amnesia ravers in the house epic story

[@bw9927]

Sky Blue Connection - epic nights with Sasha, Derick May, Carl Cox etc!

[@blackfan821]

Good work, nice doc. Brings back a lot of memories. Plenty of genuine personality and sincerity captured from Bam, Nev, Jeff, and others. Thought the Amnesia venue that was pre Eclipse might have got a mention (or missed it) Think it was some sort of community centre. Remember it well, had a fuckin cracking intensity to it. My mate played the night Doc Scott played his first Amnesia. Anyone remember it? Also thought Eclipse would have featured. Played at Eclipse loads myself, mostly for Energy. Fucking great nights. I tell young promoters I know now, there used to be parties in Coventry that used to get shit loads of Londoners, and people from as far as Glasgow to Coventry on a Friday night. Doesn’t make sense, still doesn’t to me, but it’s true. Good work. Gonna watch it again now.

[@sarahw-k900]

The film is to focus on the illegal stuff from 1988 to early 1990 pre connexion. The next film will focus on Connexion, Eclipse etc like you have mentioned.

[@blackfan821]

@@sarahw-k900 Great, thanks. Really enjoyed it and looking forward to more now. Was connections the pre Eclipse venue then?

[@jamAVmediaproduction]

@@blackfan821 it was, yes. Glad you're liking the film :)

[@Hoodie1878]

GOOD MORNING COVENTRY! Lower Ford Street. Nowhere like it. Derby crew.

[@djshanebrown]

I was the original DJ at Tally Ho & Reflections, when u started on the door I was already playing Chicago and NY house from 86/87 and loved the build up to the raves with everyone turning up at Tally Ho to get the address at the last minute. What a buzz, what a rush, what a time to live and let live BGB RLF

[@jimthegrin]

Used to travel from Brum at 17 years old to go the Tally Ho. Fun times. Cheers for the sounds mate.

[@t1000eg]

Cov born and bred, went to nearly every rave they had, best times man

[@fin1131]

Same as, did you go to the one by the side of a garage off the A46 in a wood?

[@dantaylor7344]

I know Rugby pretty well, no warehouses at that time were bigger than Eclipse in Cov. Anyone know where this was?

[@barryblack8415]

The Eclipse wasn`t a warehouse. It was the old bingo hall.

[@perception90]

Cool vid Keith n Co,

[@stevechapman9099]

What memories. I went to Riton on Dunsmore To all the Amnesias. RIP Matt Hardy ❤

[@SteveJones-gz4vd]

Lived in Cov from 1988 to 1992. Amazing place ( despite the knockers ) and some of the best days of my life

[@andybennett1133]

The greatest time to live there...😊

[@SteveJones-gz4vd]

Met some great people and used to knock around with one of the Specials Rodies a Rasta and one of the kindest guys I've ever known @@andybennett1133

[@Mark-Book]

The UK government hated the optimism and unity. They have a very different definition of party.

[@dantaylor7344]

jam-AV media production Exactly which venue played this so called "Rugby" rave. I have family and friends in Rugby. No one recalls this event nor knows of any venue big enough at this time that could house fifteen hundred let alone 10K! Pray do tell

[@jamAVmediaproduction]

Hey Dan just following up your question with Amnesia House. In the meantime, if anyone following this thread can answer the question, that would be great!

[@jamAVmediaproduction]

I'm guessing it would be one of the then, newly built warehouse/ factories near the M1. Ill let you know.

Amnesia House put Cov back on the map again late 80s/90s, great days Tally ho then reflections then 13th floor Thomas King House, then the Warehouse party's, Energy/Docklands Arena never witness anything like it again.

The lad that says cov had one of the top firms in the country, never heard that one before?

[@fin1131]

You obviously missed the bit where Leicesters top lad from the BS just acknowledged Cov Legion was a good firm 600 mob handed. Cov is a hard City always has been always will be.

[@thehitman1980]

@@fin1131 I know it's a hard place but their firm has never been regarded as one of the top firms in the country? The Zulus the icf the 657 crew etc were the top firms

[@fin1131]

True but only because Cov never went around leaving silly calling cards or writing books, the one firm you left out but are considered the top firm by most were M'Boro@@thehitman1980
