Apparently there have been problems with that email address for Clare Horan. Brockwell Park Community Partnership advise that it is incorrect and should be choran2@Lambeth.gov.uk

There is still no mention of any consultation on Lambeth's website. Apparently it ends in a little over a week.

This looks like hipster magnet of a one dayer festival. Perhaps Field Day is going to be cancelled, and they've put this together for its crowd.

 

[killer b]

which ones are the hipster bands?

Probably the ones with silly names like "Tropical Fuck Storm" and "Crack Cloud".

A Certain Ratio if we're still in 1977

or 2002

tbh that's a pretty good lineup for 35 quid, I'd go if it was local (ACR are playing in Preston in the summer so I'll probably see them at least)

Hey - any photographers want a free press pass to the Mighty Hoopla festival in Brockwell park on Saturday in exchange for covering the event for Brixton Buzz?

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

Despite me dismissing 'Wide Awake' as hipster magent of a festival I am going along after work tomorrow as I got a freebie, and if anyone fancies it there are loads going for a fraction of the original price on Ticketswap

I'll be there!

 

[BusLanes]

Just walking into Brixton and the crowds of people walking towards the festival are pretty heavy

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

I think I can faintly hear it from the Ferndale side of Acre Lane. Which bodes well.

I think you'll be hearing a lot more around 1.30!

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

I might complain and have it turned down

 

[spitfire]

I'm supposed to be there right now getting myself warmed up for IDLES but I sacked it off for reasons.

Have fun.

Yep, can clearly hear the words to the song

 

[Jimbeau]

Crikey - there's some wattage. Just off a Teams call with a colleague who could tell it was IDLES on stage despite my being at the back of the house with the windows shut.

I'm rather enjoying it. Though I might revise that opinion when it's time to put the kids to bed.

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

im impressed and glad i can hear it all even from almost a mile away. Just a bit frustrating i have another 2.5 hours of work before i can head over myself.

Did i just hear them singing 'Wonderwall'?

 

[editor]

I haven't made it up there yet but it sounds quieter than the Country Show from here.

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

I shouldnt have thought so, but any sniffers on the way in?

 

[quimcunx]

Is this what I've been hearing all afternoon? I thought it must have been a neighbour.

Was that Shame that just finished?
