Sat 19th/Sunday 20th July 2014 - 40th Anniversary Lambeth Country Show at Brockwell Park

Is Chucklehead not like holiday booze - it only works there, at the time?
i'm a bit mad keen on cider (the proper stuff) and Chucklehead is pretty good in terms of quality (and price) so a box is a wicked novelty, any time of the year. I recently got a 20 litre box which basically took up the whole fridge, ms hatter wasn't happy, but essentially we had chucklehead on draft so she soon came round to the idea :)
 
Cider i up everyone, hope to see some of you this weekend :)

Come and visit me and other urbanites at the Dulwich Hamlet Supporters Trust stall, where we will indoctrinate you into the love of Dulwich Hamlet FC and regale you with witty banter and possibly ill-thought out songs. Also hopefully a penalty shoot-out game for kids & adults, and maybe some tickets to games. We should be on the left hand side inside the main gates closest to Herne Hill station. :)

I keep meaning to go to a game. Will you have the fixture list? I always find it a faff to find online although I appreciate that this is perhaps solely die to my incompetence.

Maybe start another Country Show thread in the DH forum?

The sound check for tonights lido screening of Jaws was louder than the Country Show's rehearsal of the steel band.

Different arrangement of marquees down at the new entrance too. Plus a bigger sound desk for the stage and a beer tent opposite the stage up the top of the hill too.

Can someone point me to a programme?

Smoke and Roll have got a food concession, are tasty - if meaty and from round these parts too.
 
went and had a little look this evening, sat on the hill in front of the camel racing etc pen. Impressed how organised it all is, they were already putting out the recycling bins and all the infrastructure already well and truly in place 2 days before it all kicks off.

there was a jaws screening at the lido?! i thought i could see some kind of big screen/stage over there, gutted i didnt wander down!

And so many loos. Weak-bladdered heaven!
 
Really looking forward to seeing Black Roots. Mum & dad were well into them when I was little - they and some of their mates managed to get them to do a gig in our local park (in the days when you could just get away with those things). I listened to their first album over and over again when I was a kid:



Anyone know what time they're on?

Edit: line up here: http://lambethcountryshow.co.uk/line-up/ Black Roots playing Sunday - no times yet though.
 
Here's some photos from a decade ago:

Mafia and Fluxy are playing this weekend - ringo can you recommend anything by them please? They've been around for as long as I can remember and I've got a few of their tunes, but they're all remixes of other people's stuff. Any original material worth checking out? cheers :)

(Country Show website is down atm http://lambethcountryshow.co.uk - hopefully they are adding the set times)

Silly question - but there's no way of finding out what time Jocelyn Brown is on? If the place advertises shutting at 7, it's probably fair to assume she'll be headlining 6-7ish?

She's pretty much the soundtrack to my funky house/disco musical years, tho have a prior engagement at the other side of London to get back for. If anyone finds out can they post here? Would really appreciate it :cool:
