At the deep heart of the underground music scene from the wild raves of the 80s to Thailand, Goa, Ibiza, Kimberley, GIVE, Burning Man and beyond. Ben fell in love with dance music tripping the light fantastic at the Embassy Club in the 70s. Collected a vast roomful of dub disco and soul tunes that suddenly came into their own in the mid 80s when the first raves exploded into our consciousness. Started hosting ‘GIVE!’ parties at The Fortress in Kings Cross and ‘Woy-Oy’ on the MV Cam Leopard at Chelsea Bridge in the late 80s. Started ‘Kimberley’ in the early 90s and ‘House of Honey’ in the Naughties. GIVE! festival was the original boutique festival experience and has now been running for over 30 years in several glorious, arcadian country park settings.
