Lambeth Country Show 2010 - 17-18th July

Depends if your a 'facebooker' or not.

It all got a bit elitist last year.

No, I'm not, but I'm yet to met any urbs in person, so I'll say hi on Saturday to any friendly group meeting up. Will have kid in tow though so will be passing through to funfair, or motorbikes.

Well, I'll be watching A3 and wandering about a bit.
 
Urbanites are usually to be found by the chucklehead tent.

I would look for some photos on the ugly mug thread of those who are likely to be there and see if you can spot them. There are a few quite distinctive folk... :D
 
Just look out for the cloud....an urbanite gathering won't be far away.....

What's the Josephine Avenue thing?...

Art in the Open Air - For the ninth year running the residents of Josephine Avenue will be transforming their sleepy, tree lined street into a bustling art fair. With 150 photographers, printers and painters exhibiting this is their biggest event yet. Works range in price from over £1,000 to under £50, and with free entry this makes it an affordable event for all art lovers.

As well as a seeing a wealth of art, there will be a selection of food stalls, two displays of live graffiti from Soulful and JPart and an eclectic mix of music at the Saturday Sound Stage.

The event raises money for local projects and on Sunday will be raising money for Trinity Hospice and The British Home.

Open 10am to 6pm both days.

Twinkle Brothers are legends, and Norman Grant has lived in Brixton for decades, so the somewhat sparse line up comes good for me just with them headlining.

aye - theyve done this gig before too, and it was ace then also.

by teh way, have you ever heard the Twinkle Brothers imeets Polish folk band Trebunie-Tutki? 2nd album supposedly!

great link between global folk traditions - the skank is there in polish folk tunes too!

in full effect:
check the crowd! loving it!

this tunes called In The Wooden Beerhall (traditional)!

That running order is different to the Lambeth website.

Is your or theirs correct?
 
Going on past years I wouldn't rely on the official schedule either. It's always best (imo) to check whatever hastily scribbled running order they've attached to the Heras fencing by the stage
 
I think zenie might mean the dog display teams, this year it's sheep dogs and if it's like last year will be in the morning and afternoon on both days :)

I wish they'd get the JCB formation dancing back......
...and although the Devil's Horsemen are good they'll never beat the Magyar Horsemen (and woman). That was breathtaking.
 
Are they the same jousters as last year then Mrs M?

The White Knight looked genuinely surprised, and a little confused, that the everyone was shouting for the Black clad opposition. He seemed a bit taken aback by the chants too, especially 'did your mum paint that shield?' iirc
