This clip of a 90s rave gave a lot of people a powerful nostalgia trip
Legendary Hacienda DJ, Dave Haslam, has shared a clip on his Twitter account of a 90s rave in full swing. It quickly went viral and the comments it provoked were generally from people reminiscing about their own, erm, ecstatic moments on the dancefloor.
Let’s take a look …

Takes us right back to a time when nightclubs wouldn’t have made that much money selling beer and wine, and still less on bar snacks.
Let’s have a look at the comments from other retired ravers.
