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.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
