Samantha Williams was given her first camera on her 21st Birthday 1989 by her boyfriend Andy Williams AKA DJ Pure RIEP.
She became a passionate photographer in the days of the Acid House Era and the youth culture of yesteryear. Her 35mm camera accompanied her to most parties she went to. Within this book you can see how she captured a kind of docu style with an eye for catching an intimate view, up and close. Happydaze book is  personal insight and an unbiased, uncensored account of the musical revolution back in 1989. Her photos were collecting dust underneath her bed for nearly 20 years, so she decided to dust them off and share them with the world!

You may have a passion for archive photography, maybe you were there back in the day and witnessed the advent of the rave scene here in the UK, or perhaps you’re just discovering the scene and are interested in looking back at days gone by and discovering the way it used to be.

Whatever your reason for being here, we welcome you with open arms.

There are 100s of original images, 1000s of Flyers ranging from the earliest illegal raves and the notorious M25 events 20 years ago, to some of the later legal raves that became a way of life for thousands during the 1990’s.

Enjoy your time here, leave a message in the guest room or on chat share your memories, videos, photos of those halcyon days, this is the place ! And most importantly, keeping the vibe alive!

We’re here for one reason only.  We loved it then, and we still love it now!!
