PEACE & LOVE & RAVE ON TILL DAWN: Take one huge film studio. Add a massive sound and lighting system. Fold in the best DJs and 2,000 sweating, writhing, dance-happy ravers [016-019]. Cook on high till morning and presto… you have the recipe for insto-massive event, Nitrous, the Grand Finale. Among the faithful who-kept the event going was King Svenie [016-020], who designed and made his own gear. Adding some colour to the proceedings were [016-021] rave-gals Nikki, Cecilia and Patti. On hand to get the minions groovin’ was DJ Chris Sheppard [016-022], seen here with fans, sisters Michelle and Andrea. And people said raves were dead! Were you on that dance floor? The carousel of never-before published outtakes follows.

PLAID MADNESS: Forever Plaid, the story of a singing foursome who perish in a car crash but come back, musical influences intact, to do-wop forever, opened at the newly re-opened, newly re-dubbed New Yorker theatre. In the lobby after the final curtain, we find [016-035] the show’s producer, Laurence Follows, being congratulated by his little sister, actress Megan Follows. The opening-night party was a plaid-filled, ‘5Os-themed affair, that found [016-036] audience members Judy Leonard and Sue Graunitz playing hooky from reality while being congratulated by the cast, (L-R) Brian Hill, Paul Castree, John Devorski and Neil Bartram, for their excellent taste.
