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.

[Brian Tee]

Thanks for the kind words another annie!

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!!

[Brian Tee]

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.

[Brian Tee]

Poster Attached, to give you some idea of the line-up!!!

Check it out, copy it, print it and stick it on your office notice board. Spread the word!!!!

Posted on an old thread .....

Country Dirt are a finger lickin' great band - glad to see them back at Aquarius.

[tommo]

i will be there - that gig at the ivy house last saturday was the dogs bollox

[bsand]

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.

[Brian Tee]

Miss Led!!!

Playing all of the Led Zep hits you can think of.

 

[Brian Tee]

Check this out!!!

LVJ playing in the snow. Playing the main stage, late afternoon. With his amazing band. Indi Souls. Brilliant!

[Brian Tee]

More from LVJ & Indi Souls. Latest single release. Beautiful. Local. Genius.

 

[Brian Tee]

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.

 

[Brian Tee]

Full running order attached

What a line up!!! What a day!!!

[Brian Tee]

Now the real running order!!!

includes nou enle, a fabulous young folk/pop band, to add to the incredible musical experience. What a day!!!

[Clair47]

Hi Brian,

Was looking forward to it anyway but even more now fav band Nou Enle are playing as well!

Folk of Forest Hill are spreading the word via twitter. Plus hash tags and all that jazz.

[Brian Tee]

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!!!

[Brian Tee]

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.
