SPIRAL TRIBE MEET
NEW AGE TRAVELLERS

[@fernandasa2158]

This country lost it the minute they stopped young people have free , creative and fun days like this

[@surrealmadrid7971]

'Why is it I saw a man with a machete chasing my sheep shouting meat?' That posh woman was clearly tripping

[@curtisducati]

I miss all the early raves , all bikers & New age travellers , was all amazing from 1989 to 1997 then all commercial £50 a ticket crap with look at me DJ's ... The day DJ's turned round to face the crowd it ruined the whole rave thing .... My best memory was driving down the M1 at 90 trying to get rizla from a group in a red escort ! Totaly out my face on doves heading to TRADE in London with Tony De-Vitt the DJ bless him ...

[@dibz4166]

Don’t worry we still out here chucking soundsystems in warehouses and fields, battling the police every weekend carrying on the cause

[@Yoyo-01]

Best time of our lives, lets do it again!!

[@curtisducati]

I was there ! Great times .....

[@missredumbrella]

Oh yeah...reeeewind please !!!

[@modulblok-e3168]

🤚👽👍🏼

[@Erebus.666.]

I'm in... F*ck the Criminal Injustice Bill.

[@mark.kelley1928]

I was there lol 😂 what a experience that was never to be forgotten, that poor lad bringing his car in when the lights went out and everyone danced on it , the guy who flew in on a hand glider to avoid the police haha 😂 where there’s a will there’s a way hay 👍🤣🤣🤣

[@pjg_77]

I remember going to gullet quarry the summer of 92 & whilst skinny dipping in the quarry we got talking to a load of New Age travellers. Next thing we’re tripping our balls off from micro-dots. A bunch of young lads from Brum had the best summers weekend ever. I have very fond memories of the quarry.

[@Yogman444]

gullet quarry is great but lots of people have drowned there

[@tom_123]

Despite mass communication being easier than ever, mass mobilisation of people for an ‘unofficial event’ like this doesn’t happen any more. Not just because of the criminal justice act. The music and the spirit of the time was very powerful in the 90s. It really brought people together and was energising. The culture these days pushes us apart.

[@dirtybutclean]

Well it's good to know that all the pearl clutchers objecting to 'new age travellers and ravers' are now dead.

[@eibhlinnichrualoai]

Best days of my life.. started with going to Stonehenge with my parents and had my whole teens in the 90s. I used to do backdrops for various party conveys..Castle Morton was ALLOWED to deliberately happen to bring in the CJA...thank you for putting this up..big love -Jas(+Barry RIP)..our community was flooded with her@in after that. No one helped us..now they've come for everyone in 2020.. thankfully I didn't do what they told me 💉🖕🙌🙏☘️💚

[@harri7416]

Same gig with Hillsborough and all seater stadiums?

[@fluffybites6392]

What a show of togetherness, the old bill were overwhelmed and it frightened the government. I would love to say that I was one of the 20,000, but I missed it...

[@AlfieandCarla]

OMG, Castle Morton, brings back memories of dancing for days, and to be honest, I would do it all again 30 years later given the chance ..

[@upthebuffer1921]

This was the end. That will never be repeated. Much love to you all.

[@modulblok-e3168]

Freedom is out there ,,,fight for your rights ,, start a anti war protest party people will come 🙂👍🏼

[@djitisty]

I'm sorry but we have an anual celebrating of castlemorton every year that we call uk-tek, and the stages, soundsystems have all evolved massively since the early 90s

[@GaraGambini]

@@djitisty But you will never be able to catch the original excitement, innocence and togetherness….. That type of music had never ever been made before and the pills were a new thing too!

[@GaraGambini]

Slave to the rave, rave to the grave! ❤❤❤

[@oosqueezemylemon]

It was the second summer of love, that should not be forgotten

[@55tranquility]

my mate took so many drugs that weekend he had a psychotic episode and was sectioned, it was a nightmare. might have been great but not if you are dealing with someone who thinks voices are coming out of his car speakers telling him to do stuff and thinks everyone is there to steal his car and works for the Russians it wasn't. got him home, more craziness, then he went missing for a day apparently he had driven back to castle morton again and back home again because he thought he was leading a convoy their (he wasn't). his parents had called the police because he was missing and we'd been looking for him, when he came back he was talking nonsense ended up in psych hospital for about 7 months - that was enough for me and i hung up my whistle and ravin shoes after that.

[@eamonnhoulihan1366]

Sorry to hear that mate, but for one bad story about castle morten,there is thousands of happy ones, hope you're mate is OK ❤

[@kikupafuss]

Castlemorton was ace. I say give the old bill a massive thanks for assisting and directing the traffic.

[@sean3691]

Four days i will never forget and could never describe to anyone who wasn't there. I did use to try but cant be bothered anymore, fckum 😁. The starvation and sleep deprivation got me in the end and the long hot walk to the m50 junction finished me off. Wish i had a time machine ❤️

[@stevenbance1745]

NEVER4GET..WICKED TIMES STILL LOVE THE MUSIC.

[@petelees6142]

I live near castlemorton it scared the crap out of the people who were living there

[@user-gb2zy8wr2q]

Just chilling on the crib tripping and loving lovely peeps for fairyland

[@shring7]

Such a time, out of the chaos comes love.

[@natureseyemusic]

I was there. I rolled up on the Saturday. Phoned my boss on the Monday chucking a sicky and finally went home on the Tuesday. It was fucking wild.

[@hifartingoctopuss]

Not word of mouth alone. It was promoted on the news to encourage people to go to make it as chaotic as possible, to justify the laws against this.

[@pm-bg9mu]

Went there ; had to go to the Severn bridge because guy following didn't know he was going Got there and in the morning a Aussie bloke we was with went to ring his bro back home in Australia And his bro in auss said I know where u are !! You at castle Morton It's was all over the news papers there lol True story

[@konrad7572]

3:12 i couldnt contain myself here hahahahahahaha

[@inkcap1002]

Then thatcher said "Destroy the convoy " and then coincidentally or not smack started to appear on the scene and fucked it all up!!

[@mark.kelley1928]

1985 battle or the bean field, that was swept under the carpet with the establishment yet again

[@divinaluz7]

Absolutely not a coincidence. No one in the mainstream is talking about how drugs destroyed our generation. Or how they got there.

[@Astrajet]

We were in Holland in early 92.. Spiral Tribe joined us after Castle Morton, and we did a few Squat Parties

[@BEDFORD303]

Was that the one in the gas tower?... stayed in Holland 92 for 5yrs, .. Lieden was our go to place, we were on a site in Ter Aar

[@vernantruman1797]

Spiral Tribe were quick enough to claim the credit for organising Castlemorton.. They had their photos in national press trying to big themselves up.. When the shit hit the fan & they were going to court & realised the possible legal implications. They changed their tune & were happy to try & drop it on Circus Warp..

[@2009jamiebell]

So true

[@justahumanbeing.709]

Mark Harrisson of ST has actually said in interviews recently and i guess he will in his new book that ST had nothing to do with the organising and decided to go at last minute.

[@vernantruman1797]

It still don't address the fact, that after Castlemorton. Spiral Tribe did go to the press. They had their photo in the Sun with a headline claiming they organised it..

[@peachyaudio]

"numerous discos"

[@alcyonemusic]

word of mouth alone?? It got nationwide promotion when the TV news reports said 'massive illegal festival, don't go' or something like that lol. Hence the opinion that it was actually encouraged in order to boost public support for legal changes.

[@barneyrichardson4676]

Me old mate Mixxy at 0.39 secs 🤣👍🙄

[@Angela-1974]

Can someone please tell me the name of that tune at the beginning? I love it but I've forgotten the name of it.

[@1brokenspoke189]

Age of love . its a proper banger .

[@Angela-1974]

​@@1brokenspoke189I agree 👍

[@keepgoing1973]

I was there

[@stevebubble2010]

i set the date, but didn't go as the Bristol police were never gonna let it happen...lol, typical.

[@Whazzar]

What documentary is this from?

[@urbansurvivor360]

Opening tune guys? I had it I just cannot remember!

[@mikemcmahon1970]

[@oakashthorn5714]

Lol @317 😂

[@SteveJones-gz4vd]

Most of the traveller types were from Aristocacy , you know rich kids, Monthly allowance and millionares in the waiting, I bet they are just fine right now

[@JimmyHandtrixx]

of course they are fine. look at SP in recent years with their olympic grants and what not....same as any crustie punk hippy scenes. rich kids. and yet they will use you for what you have worked hard for. i had to learn the hard way.

[@ryanmcgrath339]

👇👍this guy is right

[@simonhobbs3826]

Prefur Hawkwind etc rave didnt help the tribe as castlemorton went on for too long and there was no respect for real travellers who were not into dance but into travelling and respecting that way of life. Shame. Rave music for me isnt organic and doesnt speak to me like Hawkwind the enid or punk bands do . DO NOT PICNIC THIS ISNT Hawkwind lol

[@JimmyHandtrixx]

and people before were moaning about electric guitar 😂 you want organic then no Hawkwind

[@metajomaguire396]

I still do not get bail 😞 and we lost! think ? 88
