Flashback: Parties For The People - By The People
Here we have the perfect gift for the over 40 something in your life that still thinks they have the rave in them but literally go out once a year and complain about being tired for the 3 days after.
Flashback: Parties For The People By - The People tells the story of the infamous Blackburn Acid House ‘parties’, the vital part this moment of counter-cultural history has played in the social, economic and cultural lives of the area itself, and more broadly, of the country as a whole.
