The BBC @ the UK Purple Rave Party

The BBC will be at the UK Prince party filming and interviewing fams showing an interest to be interviewed. This will be a part of an hour long special Prince documentary to be broadcast nationally by the BBC next year.

For those attending...(and a record number of you will) this will be your chance to give props to the man and his music via a world respected broadcaster!!!

Peace.

Suddenly I'm happy that I didn't put myself into debt over going to this party, cos I wouldn't go if there was taping going on simply because of the fact that I hate being in pics or on film. However, I don't recall it being said anywhere on flyers, at the site or anywhere else that there would be cameras and taping going on. Isn't there sme kind of law saying that you have to tell people this before you sell them tickets? I'm just worried that all of you arranging this great party might get in trouble is some people aren't happy with this, and for that matter P's people might not be happy about the contents either, because if I don't misremember there will be some not entirely official material being shown and heard, and he might get up your bums about that. So please please please check out the legal aspects, so you don't get busted because that would be a shame.

All y'all, have fun on Saturday!!

Hi MrsFitness,

Thank you for voicing your concerns.. Firstly we were only contacted by the BBC early this week. The only way we could get the message across quickly was via our own mailing list and through Prince.org.

We have been assured that filming will be very minimal and unobtrusive and would only take place at the early stage of the party - not when it is in full swing.

Notices will be displayed that filming is taking place inside the venue and release forms will have to be signed by any one who wishes to take part in the interviews.
More than anything.. the BBC just want to meet and get to know some fans that might be used for further filming at a later date. So this is... if you like, an auditioning process. Note - For those taking part in the interviews that when signing these release forms you should fully understand what you are signing and that the Dawn Experience are not liable and any way.

I have been told that this is going to be a serious documentary which quote "looks at the career of a huge musical talent from a business as well as creative aspect. The aim is to give a real insiders view of the music industry, exploring the pivotal moments of Prince's career". They (the programme makers) are interested in his fanbase throughout the years and want to talk to people about what its like to be a Prince fan.


Peace.

Hey y'all, I was there, I was interviewed by the BBC, we all have nuthin to fear, it was very early on in the night, and the guys dissapeared early. The interviews were conducted in private in a little area outside, although some filming was done inside after they'd interviewed a few, this was well before the party kicked off, and OH did it kick!! Glam Slam, complete with PARTYMAN and a surprise visit from the one and only Lenny Kravitz! What a night! The only dissapointment was these silly English laws, the show had to finish at 2.00am, that sucks. We should move the Rave for next year to Barcelona, or somewhere cool, not London town, then we can party till the sun comes up!! All in all otherwise a great night, a big thanx to the team who organised it. Fantastic, I will travel again next year for the show. Come (prince)

Bambi 319,
Basic stuff like how did you become a fan, how much have you spent in your crazy adventures chasing the man, whats the pride of your collection etc, What do you think of his career at the moment? favorite tracks etc. Was very cool, I think it'll be a cool doco. The girl interviewing was a pure goddess. That helps! Alls good.
