Not that we were especially missed, and given our spiritual home was knocked down and we were out on our arse, but I am truly pleased to say that Time Tunnel are giving a new venue a go (or they are giving us a go) in September. All 4 DJs together again.....playing our records.....more info to follow....if that sort of thing excites you please keep an eye out....(28th Sept!)

I went to this. It was quite well attended and cross community - with an emphasis on this sort of music

Not sure if this video link from Pride party at p*p Brixton will work

Should be a good view off the 100 plane fly over if you can get up one of high buildings of Brixton today.

I saw that earlier. It's a bit cloudy but I should be able to get a view.

Watched from outside our office near Cannon St. Helicopters turned south afterwards so may have overflown Brixton

The helicopters came close-ish as they peeled off south but the rest of the jets flew off into the far distance. My feeble zoom didn't do a very good job of things but I'll post some pics later.

The notoriously unreliable FB is reporting a stabbing by Hootananny. Anyone know anything?

Yes, that happened. Not sure what happened apart from the many conflicting stories I heard. Cops have an area of pavement taped off.

Some kid was chased by a gang and then bottled and kicked to the ground

The Tesco/Esso on Tulse hill is closed for another refit. They seem to redo it every 18 months at the minute

Cos the space is too small for the amount of footfall.....I used to go in there everyday and it would depress the fuck out of me...

Brixton World Cup pub update. Hootananny full up, big queues outside the Effra Social, Dogstar and Albert also looking very full. Good luck if you're not in a pub yet!

 

[editor]

And in the Railway...

Might have missed this further up the chat, but appears Cabana on Ferndale Road has closed down and vacated premises. Brixton location taken off their website too. That didn't last long.

Bloody hell. Perhaps the bubble of endless new eateries has finally burst in Brixton.

Urgh. I went there once just after it opened and got food poisoning. Definitely from dodgy rice. Can't say I'm sad to see it go. Terrible place.

Expensive, chain eateries.

Brixton still seems on a bit of a World Cup hangover as it was much quieter last night almost everywhere.

It's really not my idea of pub fun, but if it's your kind of thing...
