Deptford Urban Free Festival 1992

I have been a long time admirer of the blog History is Made at Night. As chin stroking as this sounds, I'm interested in the discourse surrounding youth culture and dance music, this is a pretty great blog aimed at that sort of thing. Recently they tweeted out a link to Transpontine a blog on South East London. As they posted about the Deptford Urban Free Festival in 1992. Deptford not too disimilar to now, use to attract an assortment of punks and freaks who would converge on Fordham Park for a free festival dating back to 1989. Transpontine dug out these great images from the event in 92.

If you're into this sort of documentation I can't recommend The Face's collection of club writing 'Night Fever' edited by Richard Benson highly enough.
