argh, that party looks jokes, so gutted I was only 5 in the mid nineties and missed all that, all the raves get locked off by the police before they've even started now :(

Did they send all attendants down the mines if they were 14 or above?

Indeed they were and indeed he was, and demonstrated that he is the only man alive who can make Bob Dylan sound tuneful. As for his guitar playing....well he had a capo on to get him in the right key. Perhaps a little knowledge of the right notes might have been more important.

Mind you, Damon, in spite of being a genius was pretty out of tune too as was Bobby Womack. Mick Jones and Paul Simenon dressed up as Sailors would surely make Joe Strummer turn in his grave. Quite interesting seeing what I think was The Fall's Mark E Smith reading the lyrics off a piece of paper. Snoop Dog was by far the most entertaining guest.

Reviews suggest they lost big parts of the crowd, but then they were always going to. No question parts of the set looked flat on tv but they just aren't the kind of act to appeal to the crowd who gather in front of pyramid stage on a friday night. I think albarn knew that as people who spoke to him say he was unusually nervous all day


But they were late replacements and they put on a great show i thought

That's a little presumptuous RB, I doubt the late Joe Strummer would have been arsed and would have had them round his campfire.

Though perhaps Mick might have given it a swerve so as to avoid his suit getting all smoked up, though I reckon Paul Simonon would have turned up and appreciated Joe spelling his name correctly on the invitation (if of course, invitation there was) and not how it turned out on the credits of The King Of Comedy.


And that Martin Scorcose calls his self a director.

    • Thanks for these responses. Yes, Cllr Browning & Cllr Hartley did a door-knocking exercise a couple of months ago. It was Maggie Browning who knocked and I told her that I'd had radio silence from Jon Hartley. She looked embarrassed but not surprised. I have spoken to him since, only after writting to Ellie Reeves, our MP about it his lack of response. He agreed to address the issue I asked about but I've not heard from him since. It's really not acceptable for an elected Councillor to consistently ignore his ward constituents. Since it's clearly not a one-off, I'm gonna pick this up formally. I'll let you know how I get on...
    • If memory serves, Labour under Corbyn got more electoral  votes than Labour under Starmer. So I'm not sure how you can call that being "unelectable"? Under a different and fairer electoral system Labour would have won. I see moves are afoot to bring in such a different, fairer system, presumably in the hopes of stopping Reform winning next time. BTW there was a mass exodus from Labour  by  the local (East Dulwich) Labour party members when Corbyn was kicked out by Starmer. It isn't just Islington who doesn't want to support  a right or centre right Labour party.
    • Is this the new shop next to Dulwich Tandoori? is it actually open and if so has anyone tried them.
    • It was The Brickhouse - we liked them and it was very sad when they had to close
