Reclaim The Streets, London, 1996, M41

[kaleidophon]

Music question = Balanescu Quartet - Computer Love from the album "Possessed"

I was there! We were the first sound system pushing the boundary forward. We played d'n'b while other sound system (immersion) at roundabout end played tekno. I sat watching kids in sandpits and two stilt wearing 'women' with roadworks going on under their dresses!! Cool as fuck.

[TimandRuth08]

We were there! 

[TwistedQuills]

I was there too! Bring back the 90s! I was on the west wall, next to the railway line. Was useful when i needed a wee... Back against the concrete, feet on the fence, then walk my way down. Then repeat to get back up!

That was a really good day. Didn't leave until the last tube back home.

Spartans... What is your profession? Aroo! Aroo! Aroo!

[djozwald]

It was fabulous and you can read more about it online if you Google "audacious and unbelievable street", which will take you straight to the story of it, in a chapter about Positive Protest.

[fremlinskent]

All you old timers, "ooh, it was good to see this, ooh, I was there, etc.". So much for a stumpy little event all those years ago. What have you been doing for the last 12 years? I guess you have all sold out. Radicals? My cat is more discerning.
