Eternal Dance III

Catalogue note

Original double-sided flyer for Eternal Dance III at Plas Madoc Leisure Centre, Wrexham, on 8 May 1993. The main area bills DJ SS, DJ Rap, Dave Graham, Si Edwards, Gary Jay and MC MC, with live P.A.s by Elevation and Terrorise; a second arena features DJs affiliated on the flyer with Back to Basics, Cream, K. Klass and Global. The flyer also promotes large-scale live video projection and a two-arena production format.

Advertised programme: Main area: DJ SS ('1st North Gate'); DJ Rap ('The Country's No. 1 female D.J.' — promoter wording); Dave Graham ('Merseyside's finest'); DJ Si Edwards ('Groover'); DJ Gary Jay ('The Quad'); MC MC (Vision). Live on stage: Elevation and Terrorise. Second main arena: DJ Christian Woodyat (Back to Basics); DJ Mathew Roberts (Cream); DJ Russ (K. Klass); DJ Adam (Global).

Graphic-design significance: The front uses a long vertical format, orange-red sunset gradients and a distorted three-dimensional 'eternal dance III' wordmark. The reverse combines textured photographic/digital backgrounds, large colour blocks and early computer-styled typography. Its unusually narrow proportions and layered digital treatment make it visually distinct within TMR's 1993 rave holdings.

Historical context: UK Acid House's flyer index independently lists 'Eternal Dance III' at Plas Madoc, Wrexham on 8 May 1993 with Elevation, Terrorise, SS, Rap and the Hunky Dory crew, corroborating the physical flyer. The event sits within a wider regional circuit linking Wrexham, Chester, Liverpool, Manchester and the Midlands, while the reverse's second-room affiliations to Back to Basics, Cream, K. Klass and Global show overlap between rave, house and club networks.

Production note: Full-colour commercial print on coated paper/card stock; exact process and stock weight not established.

Condition note: Very Good appearance, ungraded. Light edge/corner handling, minor surface wear and small pin/staple-type punctures near the lower edge. Strong colour and complete legibility on both sides; no major tears or paper loss visible.

Confidence / uncertainty: The exact event date, hours, venue, directions, main-area and second-arena line-ups, live P.A. billing, ticket outlets and visual-projection description are physically verified. UK Acid House independently corroborates the exact event identity/date and headline names. 'The Country's No.1 female D.J.', 'Voted best P.A. by Mix Mag' and other superlatives are preserved as promoter wording, not independently verified claims. The printed spellings Christian Woodyat and Mathew Roberts are retained exactly in catalogue text; no authority linkage is made because identities are unresolved.
