Lambeth Country Show 2010 - 17-18th July

Was great yesterday. Saw little of anything apart from Camp Urban. Was too full of cider to focus and paying for it today.

must go to this next year, can't believe I've been in London over 20 years and never gone to it. I was at a country fayre on Sunday in Great Missenden, they had ferret racing !
 
That was the best weekend I've had all summer. I didnt see any music or any animals mind you. Just lotsa ball games and ciderrrr. So many old faces. It's like brixton's AGM.
 
sorry i didn't see anyone much on sunday. i spent all of saturday sitting in a massive group of people off here, so spent sunday seeing what was going on, looking at animals and stuff with wiskey and dervish. apologies to anyone i missed.

Gosh what an idyllic afternoon - just absolutely lovely - sitting in the sunshine, listening to such lovely music and being surrounded by such good friends. I feel all loved up!

It was a lovely weekend all round. so many people I didn't talk to, but really nice to catch up with others. I wish it went on for a week :)

Was good to see you again, strung out.

I did the opposite and spent most of saturday looking at things and meeting real life people. Apologies to anyone who I didn't get the chance to talk to - there was just so many of you!

Musical highlight was the Twinkle Borthers who were excellent.
 
Lovely afternoon yesterday, didn't see too much of the show really, but was great to see people :)

Also loved the Han/Ruby band whose name I have forgotten :oops:
 
I had a brilliant weekend - another great LCS. I had a more chilled one than usual, although whether that was because it was actually more chilled or because I just didn't spend much time round the main stage etc I don't know.
 
Really nice weekend. Was thoroughly slack in seeing the more, ahem, country elements of the country show this year, failing to see the vegetable creations (where's the pics folks?), jousting, owls and performing police pooches. In fact we really didn't get very far before bumping into someone or other and lapsing into hours of sociable lazing in sunshine

Enjoyed Soul II Soul a great deal. I know some were expecting some soaring vocals and greatest hits style set, but I liked the fact they were playing a bass-heavy mash up of dubplates, specials and a fair bit of cheese. It's kind of how I remember them best in those far too distant days of the Fridge and Africa Centre; at least they weren't ploughing an entirely retro path. A couple of special cameos and it could have been an absolute blinder, as good as Chickadee and Jazzie B were.

Twinkle Brothers and the mighty Tippa Irie weren't half bad on Sunday either. A absolutely marvellous weekend all in all. After Glastonbury, it's turning out to be a mighty summer.

Fine and super timely work GG. What was the winner out of that lot?

I've got to say, if that's a spider behind the cucumber crocodile, the standard of entries may just be slipping towards my standards
 
sorry - didn't get a picture of the winner - gaijinboy says it was a pineapple owl or something... I just shot the ones I liked especially..
 
We had an ace time. There were lots of lovely urbs who were very kind to the foal (especially spangles who has immense amounts of patience), charming canine interraction and we saw some jousting and a couple of really good teenage bands on the village green stage (was dragged there by the foal). I have to say that I did rather enjoy the sitting round glugging chucklehead which I've not managed to do since I was encumbered but will try and visit more stalls and stands next year :D

it's a koala :mad:

plus, didn't see gaijinbaby on saturday but she could hardly have been in a better mood on sunday - she was beaming from ear to ear!

She was very happy on Saturday too. The foal spent quite a long time playing 'round and round the garden' and 'this little piggy' with her. Now he wants a baby :rolleyes: :D
 
Lovely to meet innit and Brix btw! :)

Anyone know who the pretty girl in the blue dress with flowers on was? (half filipino but you wouldn't get that straight away!) We had a good laugh. :D

Hoping I didn't miss Trashpony and that you only went on saturday? :(

Totally agree - was that the first time we've heard drum and bass on the main stage too?
