In response to ever decreasing numbers of users and posts and increasing technical difficulties, the members of the Nottingham Indymedia collective are considering shutting the site down for some months, possibly forever.
We would be doing this to see whether interest in the site can be galvanised or whether its useful lifespan has come to an end.
We would welcome any input into this process.

‘Spannered’ : A book from www.spanneredbooks.com

‘Spannered’ tells the story of one huge party weekend in 90’s Bristol, dragging the reader from squatted warehouses to dodgy pubs, confused front-rooms and everywhere in-between. It’s a story about being part of a crew, about friendship and dancing, and about the power of music to move us on a fundamental level.

There are 12 exclusive B&W illustrations from Bristol street and fine artists, and it is available in paperback or ebook formats.

It’s been described as:

“A vivid and lucid account of the urban squat party experience from the inside… this is the real deal… Like a pumped up and glorious U.K. version of Hunter S. Thompson’s ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’… At times hilarious, occasionally scary, this little novella captures succinctly the feelings of spirited rebelliousness, euphoric tenderness, and crazed abandon of the underground party scene” (Chris Liberator),

“…an intense and accurate portrayal of the free party scene in the UK in the mid-90’s and contains some of the best depictions of raves that I’ve ever read…” (Freepartypeople.wordpress.com),

and

“…Its evocative descriptions will echo with anybody who has been to free parties anywhere or anytime then or since. It’s all there – the highs, the lows, the intense friendships, the casualties, the transformation of some derelict zone into a temporary playground. And of course the music…” (history-is-made-at-night.blogspot.com)

You can find sample chapters, examples of the twelve B&W illustrations, and more at www.spanneredbooks.com, and you can buy it from a range of radical bookshops (www.spanneredbooks.com/stockists) or direct from the publishers (www.spanneredbooks.com/shop).

Jason Parkinson, NUJ member who took the case to the Court of Appeal said: “This ruling to overturn the Crown Court’s decision to grant the Dale Farm production order sends a very clear message to all police forces that these wide-ranging fishing trips will not be accepted by the UK courts and that we will not be forced into to role of unwilling agents of the state. We are not there as evidence gatherers to fill police intelligence databases with hours of material on activists or protestors, we are journalists and we are there to report the news and keep the public informed.

“In the last 18 months, every time one of these orders have been served it has put journalists in greater danger while trying to report on public order situations. I know this because I have been threatened and assaulted by people claiming my material will be used by the police. I am very happy to see Judge Moses has recognised the impact these orders have had on the safety and impartiality of all journalists and has made sure any future production order applications must take this into account, as was clearly not the case this time round.”

Nottingham Street Scenes CCTV Freerunner Tram Market Square

Dear everyone: at last: I would like to announce that I’ve finished [most of] on my shiny new “ONE EYE ON THE ROAD” site. This for the older ones here was known as the greennet site, but it’s been down for years. Months of work …. and it’s back. Check it out at: http://digitaljournalist.eu/OnTheRoad

This sub-site, contains the text and pictures from the period around the early 1970’s to the late 1990′s. The years in which my tribe developed the gatherings around the country that became the Free Festival Circuit. ’New Age Travellers’, assorted hippies, punks, urbanites , festival goers and general people then found themselves labelled as the ‘Peace Convoy’. Quite central to this life was the gathering for the summer solstice at Stonehenge. [some say Glastonbury as well]. The authorities watching some of these developments with some alarm, became increasingly belligerent and attacked these gathering with some violence. One of the more famous examples was the attack on the Peace Convoy by 1600 policemen from 5 police forces on the Wiltshire / Hampshire border. It became known as the Battle of the Beanfield and it will never ….. I say never be forgot by many of us. The following few years got increasingly unpleasent with the force and application of increasingly oppressive law … leading to the Public Order Act 1986.

All seemed lost and many were dispersed and many other going abroad, to Europe and beyond. But I think the ‘scene’ got another boost when a new musical style based on repetitive beats became popular. The free party scene didn’t just arrive, it was adapted and build on the free festival and traveller scene of the years before. Thousands again were able to get together culminating in events like Lechlade and Castlemorton Common in Worcestershire. The Tory party of the time then thought that yet more laws were required and the CJA, the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 was then enacted. It seemed as though only the mega-commercial pop concerts were what’s left for our attendance, if you could afford it that is!

Yet again, people retained a spirit for action, and the wish to have concern for the planet, a new environmentalism, joined with some of the more hedonistic pursuits and events like the Reclaim the Streets started to appear in many cities across the country.

Events that concern me have progressed yet further, but this is about were this ‘historical’ piece of work will finish. I will not add to it here. Although I have reformatted these pages and ‘polished’ it a bit, all I’m trying to do is re-display something that many of the older ones amongst us, tell me that they’ve missed since it hadn’t been there.

All the above is a brief summery of what’s its all about. Please proceed through the site, read some of the history and thoughts from those times ….. oh and see a shed load of pictures that will make some a bit nostalgic for some of the finest time they had in their lives.
