liggershistory

liggerswithattitude was formed as a defined entity in the summer of 2002 after a particularly barmy set in the backstage hospitality area of the Reading Festival, but it’s roots descend way back to 1988, with the coming together of the house, funk, indie, rock and goth scenes.

Inspired by the open and eclectic music policies of the raves and squat parties of the time, the liggers Djs made it their mission to deliver entertaining, musically diverse, floor-filling sets wherever and whenever possible.

Starting with humble house parties they built enough of a following to warrant the organisation of small underground events in the woodlands and parks of Surrey. These had to be stopped in 1991 when 8000 people turned up to an event planned for 1000, and the inevitable move into clubland followed.
