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 Penguin. It could be a coincidence. But after years of road safety being on the local agenda they finally put the crossings in months before Dulwich Estates regain the lease on The Grove.   The Estate understands there is strong local interest in improving this area and we hope to be in a position to share some exciting updates in the near future. The temporary skatepark will remain unaffected. “Temporary skatepark” is telling.    
    • Back to my earlier post about familiarity.  I was in Croydon this afternoon walking between the two main stations.  Didn't feel unsafe, but there were some 'interesting' characters on the street.  Not that any were bothered with me. Not a place I'd choose to go for a bit of a fun.  Although having said that West Croydon has some cracking restaurants and the wonderfully named Saints and Sinners bar, where I once went on a corporate do - not that I did many of these. Whoops just checked and it closed a few months ago. Back on track, I never went to the Castle as I felt it was a bit rough.  How wrong was I?  Only real pub left in the area.
    • Wow Sue! I was reading your post with interest as I’ve never really felt unsafe in London and I was born here. It was just your last paragraph that derailed me and totally changed the subject matter! So unnecessary.
