Woo hoo indeed! Just couldn't believe this the first time we went, and will be taking a Saturday off work to go to this year's festival. Two stages (indoors and out) brilliant live music and a great venue (wonderful view over London) - right on our doorstep! Music highlights were many but would name check Steve Boltz and Country Dirt.

I'm not connected to the Aquarius, but just want to spread the word.

Our wonderful sponsors Bushells of lordship Lane will be putting up their promotional boards all around the area today. Thankyou so much to Bushells for their kind support, and all of the lovely folk that help us to spread the word about SE London's biggest little music festival! Full line up and poster coming soon!!

Just back on the set list - Country Dirt, featuring a new vocalist. They will be slamming the indoor stage at the end of the day, around 7.00pm.


Still working on the final running orders. Be patient with me.



A taste of last year's frivolities. It looks sparsely populated, but we had over 1000 visitors last year.


This years line up is even better!!! With a few regulars too. Keep your eyes peeled for posters/the facebook event page. All going live this weekend.

Best little festival ever have the sign up Brian and will be bringing a group of friends to enjoy the great day. Fingers crossed it will be as good as weather as last year and don't forget to bring a woolie for when night falls.
Southwark Events team have asked if there is a website, I've linked the FB page and put your brief about it up but if there is a webpage would be handy. contact [email protected] or give me a shout and I'll pass it on for you

Brian have posted it over on Urban 75 the Brixton based forum and the ed has kindly suggested to add it to the Brixton Buzz events listing. I'll leave it to you to add if you want.

Miller Andersen - who brilliantly finishes off the festival in the bar is one of the best guitarists I have ever heard and a brilliant singer as well. His performance of Pictured Within by Jon Lord at the Royal Albert Hall is a masterpiece.


Also appearing, local emerging talent Jack Joseph, solo performances on the indoor stage.


Really pleased to have uncovered this young man, who was supporting Miller Anderson at last weekend's Ivy House gig.


 

Hot news!!! Jessica Radcliffe will be opening the day's performances on the indoor stage, with a set of beautiful, cool jazz, accompanied by some of SE London's finest young musicians. If you like Diana Krall, you'll just love her vocal.




Class!!!

The final piece of the puzzle. Closing the indoor stage ahead of a bar room blitz by Miller Anderson & the Prisonaires, here's your Jazz Funk mystery band - the amazing Changing Motion. An acclaimed line up of this guitar/keyboard focussed group, these guys have a CV that reads like a history of modern British music, with credits like The Commitments, Heatwave, the Three Degrees, the Drifters, Billy Paul etc. etc.


Jazz with a huge slice of funk.


What a way to end the day, onstge indoors from around 7.00.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
