Young prodigies get a chance to throw some shapes at family rave
Event attracts around 200 ravers of all ages
The family rave phenomenon, which gives toddlers and babies the chance to throw some shapes on the dancefloor, has shimmied into Perth.
Scores of locals took part in an afternoon gig at the city’s Ice Factory, hosted by legendary Scottish DJ Jon Mancini.
Organised by Big Fish Little Fish, previous events have gone down a storm with youngsters and parents alike at clubs in Glasgow and Aberdeen.
Each show is aimed at children under eight, giving new mums and dads a chance to relive their raving days.
The multi-award-winning experience attracted around 200 people in Perth and organisers say it was such a success, they are already planning a return visit in the new year.
DJ Jon, who began his career in the rave scene’s early 90s glory days, headlined an afternoon set of dance classics, played at a safe sound level for even the smallest guests to enjoy.
There were also bubble machines, glitter cannons, chillout zones designed for babies and stalls offering facepainting and cakes.
A Big Fish Little Fish spokeswoman said: “We had some amazing feedback from everyone who came along.
“There was about 200 people there and we hope to attract even more when we come back around March.
“We’ve been running these kind of events in Glasgow for some time now, and we sell out each time.”
She added: “With Scotland’s long, proud history in music, we are thrilled to be part of continuing this great tradition, bringing business to our much-loved venues and reigniting the love of music in our grown-up clubbers.”
Big Fish Little Fish launched in Scotland earlier this year and has welcomed more than 4,000 guests at venues in the central belt.
A recent show in Kirkcaldy, at Society featured former Hacienda resident and official Stone Roses DJ Dave Booth.
