At 3pm on Easter Friday, a group of around 30 friends gather around a barbeque at a flat near Heathrow.  

The day is filled with bizarre conversations and comments like "OK so we need new fabric for the balcony", "good so Billy's gonna paint the loos", "Let's try the plasticene upstairs".

At 4pm on Saturday afternoon the flat's wrecked and everyone's knackered but loads has been sorted for the next party.  And so it goes on… phone calls in the middle of the night, mad dashes to mad shops, meetings and emails… right up until Friday the 20th of April - party night!

From the hand soap in the freshly painted loos to the crew to greet you at the door, we had prepared well. We think we got most of it right, projections, soft fabric, cool tunes and special piece of carpet to play Big Jenga on - the Chill Bar was like a warm bath after a crap day at work.

In the main room the décor was neater, the lighting rig just a few centimetres lower so the scanners cut through as they pounded to the beat.   Even the musical blend into the happening - live drumming by Rhythm Works - was successful!

There were a lot of new faces reading the literature in the History Alley, openly asking if everyone at Planet Angel were mates.  By the end of the evening they'd answered their own question as the put their names on the mailing list and left with a crowd of new friends!


"I have been years a Trance music fan and never really got to see any raves or partys that when there pure uplifting trance song after song..

Eventhou people toutally saw that I with my misses were 'tourists' everybody was really friendly. This is really like the party's should be and thanks for that"
