In all honesty hitting the ‘grand old age’ of 40 in 2019 made me reassess my life. I loved dance music, clubbing, and festivals, but I also wanted a kid. See our pregnancy announcement here And now, we have a new raver, born in January 2021. It’s been over a year now since we’ve been to a gig, festival or even a bar, with Covid restrictions in place for much of 2020, but it doesn’t matter with our new addition. Nearly seven weeks after her arrival and we’ve ventured out into the big wide world to go to Zen Baby, a mixture of baby massage and sensory fun for both of us. OK, so it isn’t quite C ..read more

  Picture the scene, Saturday night, Stockholm, Tele2 Arena, thousands of Swedish House Mafia fans, all there for one reason – to see their favourite DJs, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello reunite on stage.  I was there, 3 weeks ago today… I was there in Paris in 2012 on their One Last Tour. I was there in Miami in 2013 at Ultra Music Festival for their ‘last ever’ gig. I was there in Miami in 2018 at Ultra Music Festival for their ‘surprise’ reunion – closing the festival.

Swedish House Mafia make SUBTLE changes on social media

Earlier this year, Swedish House Mafia fans were delighted to see Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello reunite on stage at Ultra Music Festival 2018. Since then it’s all gone a bit quiet. Things seemed to go ‘back to normal’, as all three DJs have continued their shows across the world. HOWEVER. The question EVERY Swedish House Mafia fan wants answered is: When and where is the reunion tour? One More Tour? The supergroup announced that they would work on new music, and Axwell & Ingrosso announced the project, with two of the supergroup, would be put on the back burner. So… Now, all ..read more

Bongo’s Bingo is quite the phenomenon. It’s simple, bingo + rave = Amazing Bongo’s Bingo I’ve been to four or five Bongo’s Bingo’s in Preston and nothing was quite like the one in September 2018. This time there were no cheesy acts, but that didn’t matter.  We just had the fun of a Bongo’s Bingo rave to look forward to.  Unfortunately, for host Rich Furness everything seemed to go wrong on the night, but he took all of the technical issues in his stride and we APPLAUD you for it Rich!

I CAN’T get this tune out of my head

I haven’t been out properly since the New Year, and my weekly pub quiz meet up with my friends doesn’t really call for a rave. Never fear however, I’ve been resourceful and used my short drive to and from the pub as my mini rave. Every Thursday now, for 3 weeks, we’ve “been raving” – in the words of FatBoy Slim, and I can’t get this particular tune out of my head. It all started when I was having a cup of tea and my “cat walked in, you know, like a feline cat”?

I grew up in Devon and the Tar Barrels were just accepted as ‘normal’, but when I moved away from the sleepy countryside it became obvious that they really aren’t! As the beginning of November neared I couldn’t contain my excitement to see the Tar Barrels after a gap of over 20 years, but I continued to get strange looks from my Northern friends. Turns out none of them had heard of them, or had any idea of what I was so excited about. So, for those who have never been, let me explain. While most places celebrate Bonfire night with a fireworks display, a small town in Devon celebrates with a b ..read more
