  1. Its the end of month 'payday party' at Aquarius Golf Club. Anyone that made it to April's gig will tell you what a brilliant live party band the Hit Men are. So come along and enjoy the tunes and party atmosphere, great views and awesome sunset, and a very affordable bar. All details are on the poster, which you are more than welcome to share among your friends on FB/twitter etc. The historic Aquarius Golf Club is found through a gate at the end of Marmora Road, SE22 0RY. Bus stops nearby on Forest Hill Road include 63, 363 and P12. Nearest station Honor Oak Park. Another fantastic night out for ED massive.
  2. Setting up the stage for tonight. Lights, check. Subwoofers, check. Monitors, check. Speakers, check. Power amps, check. Mic stands, check. Microphones - 4 vocal, 4 brass section, check. Space for dance floor, check. I got a feeling, that tonight's going to be a good night...
  3. Hoping for a big crowd of rebel rousing roof raisers. See you all tomorrow night!
  4. Just heard that the line up includes an additional player on harmonica, so we now have a live 9 piece band for the opening gig at Aquarius. Forget any other live gigs in the area, this is the place to be for a full on good time! Admission FREE! Beautiful views, bar and sunset. Phenomenal live band. Holy Camoly. It's gonna be absolutely awesome!!!
  5. Start your bank holiday weekend with an awesome night out here in East Dulwich! Probably the best party band in the South East will be playing the best in Soul Funk and Party Hits live at Aquarius Golf Club. Every last Friday of the Month from April 29th to the last Friday in September. Please copy the poster and share it with your friends on FB/Twitter. Incredibly cool venue with great views across London, incredible sunsets, a characterful bar with great prices, and the chance to dance the night away to a brilliant live 8 piece band with full brass section. you'll find the Aquarius Golf Club at the end of Marmora Road, SE22 0RY. Nearest bus stops on Forest Hill Road - 363, 63 and P12. Nearest station Honor Oak Park.
  6. The local streets have been flyered, the stage and lighting will go up this afternoon, in preparation for a quality line up of hugely accomplished music. Hope to see a great local crowd!!!
  7. A truly magnificent line up for the very last Final Friday at Aquarius Golf Club. Don't be a criminal, be there!!! It's a) Free b) a stunning and historic local venue and 3) Completely live music by hugely accomplished performers. No backing tracks. Just incredible music played by people with a pulse. No excuses!!!
  8. This is the final, Final Friday of the summer at Aquarius Golf Club, and we're delighted to be presenting an incredible line up of soulful R&B, blues, funk, jazz and latin live music of the highest calibre. Please copy the poster (attached) and share it on your facebook/twitter/pinterest/google+ accounts to help spread the word! Starting the evening at 8.00 p.m. will be the amazing AXIS, a power-trio of session players who weave a magical set of blues , R&B and tinges of funk & jazz. These guys really know their musical stuff, and play a great set of familiar (and slightly more obscure) tunes from their almost endless repertoire. Often including a few guests (who just love to play with the band), Axis will kick the night off with a roof-raising sound. Then, headlining for the evening, we have London's finest jazz-funk/latin outfit, Alice in Grooveland, who have recently been topping the official London Jazz charts with their new CD/album, 'Skyline'. They will be playing a selection of original tunes from the album, but also dipping into their catalogue of classic jazz funk & club numbers from the likes of Gap Mangione, the Crusaders, Herbie Hancock, George Duke etc. etc. Featuring accomplished brass section, keyboards, bass and drums, these guys will raise the temperature and fill the air with incredible rhythms and sounds. Admission for Final Fridays events is (as always) free, and the venue (if you haven't been before) is worth the trip. Sitting atop the Victorian miracle of engineering, the Beachcroft reservoir, with epic views across London, and a sunset to die for. Add to that the rustic and welcoming surroundings of the Aquarius Golf Club bar, which is extremely well priced, and a great acoustic space for live music, and you have a night out that is hard to beat. The event will come to a close at 11.00 p.m. (or so.) As one of the many, many visitors to the Aquarius Golf Club said at last month's annual music Festival, "It's absolutely criminal that even more people don't come to these music events". So there's the choice. Be there for a great free night out of live music. Or be a criminal. You will find Aquarius Golf Club through a gate (that will be tied open) at the end of Marmora Road, SE22 0RY. Nearest station Honor Oak Park. Nearest bus routes, 63, 363, P4, P12.
  9. I just got a PM question regarding bringing picnics into the Festival. To make it clear, our licence & event insurance only covers the club for food and drink sold on and consumed in the premises, so realistically people bringing their own food should be turned away. This is exactly the same as the major music events at Hyde Park, where the ruling is quite rigorously applied. There is a BBQ on site that will be selling basic high quality burgers, sausages and veggie burgers in rolls, so you need not starve. Fresh water will also be available, and the bar also sells a selection of crisps, nuts and chocolate bars. I believe we will also have an ice cream van and a candy-floss stall, so there's a reasonable selection of snacks & food to choose from. So please attend in the knowledge that bringing your own food into the event could effectively jeopardise our licence/event insurance, and potentially compromise future applications. Sorry for the red tape detail, but we want to keep this Festival on the calendar!!!!
  10. Emily C Smith. Rockin' the main stage at 2.30pm. Awesome line up, right from the opening notes. Only at Aquarius Festival 2015.
  11. Nigel Price Organ Trio. Bar raising music at the most affordable little Music Festival on the planet!!! Indoor stage, from around 8.00pm.
  12. Kick off the Bank Holiday Weekend in Style at Aquarius Festival 2015!!! Saturday 29th August, from 12.00 noon. Admission just ?2.00 (?3.00 couples/families, kids free) This year?s Aquarius Festival, which is always held on the last Saturday in August at the Aquarius Golf Club, is falling for the first time on August Bank Holiday weekend. The Festival promises the usual combination of great live music through the afternoon and evening with a selection of sports and fun activities to keep your kids absorbed and active through the day. For those who have yet to discover the Aquarius Festival, an annual celebration of music and family fun now in its 6th year, it is a brilliant way to spend a day watching great bands, relaxing on the wide open spaces of Aquarius Golf Course, and enjoying the views and the characterful bar and amenities of the Golf Club. All in an incredible and secure environment. And all for just ?2.00 admission, with kids for free, and couples/families for just ?3.00. Music is staged outdoors on a ?main? stage, from 1.30pm until around sunset.

This year?s line up of music is as good as it has ever been. We have a host of new acts, ranging from the excellent kids bands from Felix School of Rock through to seasoned session players and iconic stars of the jazz scene. I?d like to tell you about all of the acts, but it would take too long.? The highlight for me is the first festival appearance of the incredible jazz guitarist Nigel price, with his awesome organ trio. Nigel is widely regarded as one of the hottest musicians on the world jazz scene today, so we hope to attract a decent crowd of jazz lovers to the festival as it moves into the evening. This will be a five-star gig, with moments to savour throughout. This is what the Aquarius Festival is all about. Putting young emerging local talent alongside the very best of the music industry, with a totally unrestrictive entry fee of just ?2.00. Here?s the line up as it should play out through the day.

Fun for kids will include an Athletic ?playground?, run for us by coaching staff from England Athletics, and TriGolf, a beginners golf area, run by professionals from Kent Golf Union, as well as the usual bouncy castle.

  13. The Final Fridays season of live music at Aquarius Golf club continues through the summer with another highlight of live music, with free admission. This Friday, Hungry Grass will be playing an extended set of traditional and contemporary Irish music, in their own, hugely entertaining and musically attacking style. Hungry Grass is an established and tight-knit unit of hugely accomplished musicians who perform across the UK and Europe, and are widely regarded as one of the finest Irish bands out there. A five-piece who play their own brand of energised traditional Irish and original music, from fast and furious reels to soulful ballads with a strong emphasis on improvisation and spontaneity. Five musicians who played the London circuit over the last decade, then met at the top of their circles and came together to create the sound known today by their followers as ?goat music?. ?With an ultimate respect to the old music and where the music is going to, we can merely steer it, enjoy it, shape it and add to it? For it will out-live us all.? ?It?s music not just to suffice the masses, but to fill the glasses, call the shots and make people laugh.? Peter Coughlan, lead vocalist, has a powerful, poetic Irish voice that moves his audiences and has led to comparisons with some of Ireland?s greatest folk singers. He is regarded as a once in a generation Irish ballad singing hero who breathes powerful sincerity, grace and beauty into every song he sings. If you haven?t seen him sing live yet, now you have the chance. So do so. Seriously. The golf club?s intimate surroundings and fine acoustics will make this a truly unforgettable evening of the very best in live music with very distinctive Gaelic roots. Hungry Grass is looking forward to a return to the Aquarius, where they headlined at last year?s ?Unplugged? mini-festival. Once again, we hope to repeat (or even exceed) the awesome success of the Hit Men (UK) at last month?s Final Friday, and hope to see many of the crowd that came to enjoy that phenomenal night returning for another great night of live music. Hungry Grass always pulls a crowd wherever they perform, and hopefully will attract a few fans from further afield than the local neighbourhood to the Aquarius experience. Music will start at around 8.00pm, and admission, as for all of the Final Fridays events, is FREE. If you have a taste for the raucous, rebel rousing sounds of one of the finest traditional Irish bands in the country, then get along to Aquarius Golf Club for a night of pure musical energy and astonishing live performance. Aquarius Golf Club is found through a gate at the end of Marmora Road, SE22 0RY. Copious street parking space outside the club. Bus routes 63 and 363. Nearest station Honor Oak.
  14. Every last Friday of the month is a free live music event of the very highest quality at Aquarius Golf Club, which is found through a walled gate at the nd of Marmora Road on the borders of East Dulwich and Honor Oak. This Friday 26th June is a Covers themed night, with live music from the Hit Men (UK), ably supported by FSOR?s incredible Rock Choir. The Rock Choir is a large and hugely enthusiastic crowd of song-loving enthusiasts who share a love of singing. It?s pretty much guaranteed that you will know all of the songs in their repertoire, and it?s easy to get swept up in their energy and end up singing along. Baz Golin, leader and ?Dean of Rock?, has promised that the choir will also be joining with the Hit Men for a number (or few). They perform a lot of classic Rock, Pop, Doo Wop and Motown, featuring songs by The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, CrosbyStills&Nash, EarthWInd&Fire, Bill Withers, Joni Mitchell, Mamas&Papas and the O?Jays to name but a few. And they dabble in some modern songs by artists like Paloma Faith, Cee Lo Green and The Noisettes, too The Hit Men (UK) are widely regarded as London?s finest party band, whose influences include Van Morrison, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Bobby Womack, Al Green, Bill Withers, Elvis Costello, The Jam, Glen Campbell, Tony Joe White, Jose Feliciano, Georgie Fame, The Undertones, The Kinks, Amy Winehouse, Stevie Wonder, Santana, Tony Bennett, The Black Crowes, James Brown, David Bowie, Prince etc. etc . Their set list is exactly what you?d expect, with timeless classic party tunes played one after another. with a full brass section, the live sound is just incredible. We are expecting the roof to be raised on June 26th. To cap it all off, the venue is incredible, with views across London's entire cityscape, the acoustics of the venue are just perfect for 'unplugged' music, and the sunset (which is almost guaranteed at this time of year) is simply stunning. And admission is FREE. Add that to a very reasonably priced bar (premium lager around ?4.00/pint) and you?ve got the best Friday night out this side of the Thames. Aquarius Golf Club, end of Marmora Road, Honor Oak, London SE22 0RY. Plenty of unrestricted street parking nearby, buses 63 & 363 stop on Forest Hill Road close to the entrance into Marmora Road (opposite cemetery). Hope to see a great local crowd!!!
  15. Apologies for the duplication - I don't seem to be able to remove this thread, which was placed by accident in a moment of forgetfulness.
  16. It's time for June's Final Fridays gig at Aquarius Golf Club, and this one's a corker. The Hit Men (UK), who are probably the best party band in London, will be playing their incredible repertoire of the very best covers and party tunes. An amazing 8-piece band, with a 3-strong brass section, will be raising the roof at the end of Marmora Road. If that's not brilliant enough, the Hit Men will be supported by FSOR Rock Choir, who will kick the evening off at around 8.00pm with a set of popular songs arranged for choir. There's qiute a number of them, so the sound will be just amazing. Baz Golin, who runs the choir, has hinted that the choir may also be singing with the Hit Men in a few numbers. So see the weekend in at Aquarius Golf Club, enjoy the beautiful sunset, the panoramic views, the affordable bar, and the best place to watch live music in the area. Come along and PAAAAARRRRTTTYYY!!!
