THE RAVE SCENE IN CORK IRELAND
------------------------------
Hello freaks, hippies, heads, ravers, junkies or what ever you want
to be called in the past few years the 'RAVE' scene has become very large
in Ireland. It's has two main counties which the majority of ravers come
from Dublin and Cork. The vast majority of Irish ravers come from Dublin
considering it is the capital of Ireland and is more populated than Cork.
WHAT IS A RAVER???... Well if you asked this to an average everyday
narrow minded bastard they will tell you that it is
a crazed youth who takes drugs and abuses their body.. This of course is
not true, a raver can be any person male or female of any age of about 14 or
older. The Raver will always stand out in a crowd with the style of hair,
the cloths and of course the boots. A raver does not necessarly have to
take drugs when going to one of these RAVES although the majority of them
prefer to. And a lot of Ravers try to be a hip as possible by choosing
whats IN and what OUT for a certain period of time. For example here in Cork
Gazza sytle haircuts were a big craze then they kind of went out. All forms
of healthy drinks such as Orange juice or lucozade etc.. So the Raver is
always aware of what's IN and what's OUT.
NIGHTCLUBS.... There is only one major nightclub to go at the moment in
Cork and that is 'Sir Henry's' which has been the leading
Ravers den for the past 2 years. The DJ's hear are
Greg D & Shane Johnson both whom play very european style
house and American imports. Other night clubs include
'Zoes' which is mainly a nightclub interested in making
money and not truely devoted to the Rave Scene. Another
Club which is still going is 'Roxannes' which is owned
by DJ Sean Zapp who actually started the Dance scene in
Cork about 3 - 4 years ago in Cork and is still going today.
'Reds' use to be a great nightclub to go to on a friday
night with DJ's AMC & EDDY B play all the latest london
style techno along with Belgiian imports but the owner
of reds did not like the ravers going to his club.
And finally 'RAPIDOS' is the newest addition to Cork
nightclubs which used to be quit good but has fallen
to pieces over the past few months .
DRUGS.....
The most common drug taken by the Raver is 'Ectasy' more
commonly known as an 'E'. This drug comes in a tablet
format and costs about 25 Irish punts to buy. It comes
in a number of colours such as white,yellow,blue and the
different types have different effects as each is stronger
or weaker than another. Other drugs taken are LSD know
as a 'TRIP'. This comes on a bit of paper with the ACID
dropped onto the paper and it also comes in a vaariety of
colours and strenghts.
That's all I have time for now hope you enjoyed my article on the
