I have decided to go last minute. As of yesterday when I saw the weather. And HMV were practically giving tickets away. It will be the shortest one ever but I can't wait to see my all time blues hero Buddy Guy tomorrow night.


If anyone can record BBC 4 at 22.30 on Sat night please let me know. As you'll see me in a muddy field with my banner "Buddy Guy Is God". Slightly blasphemous. But appropriate for the greatest electric blues player in the world. The man who Hendrix learned from. Total Genius. I cannot wait!

This sounds about right to me. Not always a bad thing, I love the Raconteurs and the Kings of Leon.

Well I won't win any prizes from my mates for arriving saturday and leaving Sunday this year but I had a great time. Trains were empty Saturday and luxurious first class was only a tenner more. Shuttle straight to the site - and bone dry! Not a hint of mud. The papers made a lot about a some shower on Thursday night but it was nothing.


And for me a genius result as my Buddy Guy Is God banner was all over BBC4 - the cameras loved it. And Buddy put in a fine performance! He truely is god!

Well, you def went at the right time then MrBen. It was mud and rain central on Thursday night (the night I had most sleep thank God) and Friday daytime. Was so good to see the sun and be able to sit on the ground again. Hallelujah!

    • If you have recently sold your flat in East Dulwich what was the difference between valuation and eventual selling price? I’m finding that agent valuations vary so widely that it’s hard to get any idea of current actual property values.  Are any agents particularly known for overvaluing and by what sort of percentage?
    • It’s 3 AM - Anyone know when this horrendous noise is going to stop?! We’re on the Sainsbury’s Local end of Landells and am quite frankly sympathising with all of you nearer Peckham Rye. My ears are ringing! How is this ok?!  Edit: According to the website it should have finished by 22:30. What is going on and how is this acceptable (and not more people are complaining about the crippling sound levels we’re being subjected to?) - shocking.. 
    • https://chng.it/YXCH5XXVMY We live near and it’s absolute hell. The noise of the people coming and going from Peckham is the worse. They are so loud and obnoxious. This is my 5th year of this nonsense. People vomiting in my front garden, urinating in my neighbour’s gardens, throwing food into my garden. Screaming waking up my children while waiting for their Ubers. The people that organise this festival are 100% obnoxious. They told us there would be security along our road (there wasn’t). I asked them to put up my family in a hotel but they wouldn’t. It’s actually a human rights infraction for all of us this badly affected. Over the years I have spent so much money trying to be away this weekend but none of us should have to. The data also shows that most people coming are not local residents - so of 3000 tickets sold, hardly any to residents; it’s easy to argue that it disadvantages us residents way more than any conceivable benefit. My elderly neighbours are besides themselves. Every year the setup and striking of the festival blocks off the park during half term, plus the antisocial behaviour and loud noises mean actual children that live here are prevented from using the park and playgrounds. The police initially rejected the license last year… then suddenly changed their mind with no apparent reason… seems legit. Also the GALA team lie and make false statements in their advertising about consulting with us (they don’t they just tell us what is going to happen then are extremely obstinate and rude). My neighbour runs Friends of Peckham Rye and has been totally distressed by all the damage done to recent planting initiatives funded by the local community. GALA do not repair this, GALA pay off Southwark and then Southwark refuse to confirm what they are paid, or how much (if anything) is spent to repair the park.   This needs to be stopped once and for all!!   Petition asking Southwark to stop providing the license to GALA once and for all.    I mean I am sure they will listen to us just like they did about the LTNs…   https://chng.it/YXCH5XXVMY
