The most important bit of advice here - bring a woolie. Last year the sun blazed through the day, but as it set, the temperature plummeted. Outdoor final act The Hit Men UK should be through by 8.00, so it will be worth bringing something to cover up and keep warm before retiring to the bar for live Jazz Funk from Changing Motion, and Miller Anderson & the Prisonaires end of Festival set.

A huge thank you Brian from our group who had the best Aquarius ever by a long way (and the last two years were fabulous as well). But right from when we got their late from Bruised unplugged right through to the amazing Miller and his band it was fun,fun,fun and great music for every moment of the day. So many highlights but particularly remember Country Dirt and their great new singer, Louis and his new band,Nou Enle, Hit men UK,6 Foot 3 and Steves Bolton's amazing guitar work and the hushed reverence that greeted Jack Joseph allowing us to hear their beautiful fragile sound and lyrics.


The festival couldn't have been better (except by being longer or over 2 days) and you have put in an enormous amount of work to pull this off. Can't wait for next year....and have a load of good video including a lot of spirited dancing that I will spin into a crowd filled tribute to the day.


We are all still chattering away as to how good it was.....


Amazing - simply Amazing !!

Miller and the band are playing tonight / late afternoon at the hob - kast chance to see them for a while, from 5:00 pm - probably kick off a bit later than that though - that's sunday 31st aug at 5:00 pm
A huge THANK YOU to all who came. Thank you to Mr Ed for the splendid main stage. To Bushells who once again donated so kindly to pay for the outdoor stage and sound. To Rob Orr and Ben for running the outdoor sound so impeccably. To Southwark Council for their continued financial support for this amazing local event. Thank you to each and every artist and performer - the musical ability on display at this years festival was awesome from the first notes played by Felix and Baz on the outdoor stage and the astonishing Jessica Matthews jazz quartet on the indoor stage, through to the incredible Miller Anderson finishing in the bar. Thanks to all of the hard working bar staffc, who soldiered through the day's trade and helped to keep spirits high. To all of the volunteers at the cub that helped out preparing the course, and manning some of the stalls. Thank you to the amazing kitchen serving food that was just delicious, and to the BBQ stand that helped to keep the crowds well fed. Highlights for me were quite simply every band performing throughout the day. Also, the Decorators Kite Display team - what a brilliant aerial event that was throughout the afternoon!!!Jack Joseph and his support guitarist Joe Reeves were simply amazing, and are definitely on my short list for future stardom in the music business. But everyone that performed did a great job. Country Dirt and new lead vocalist Charlie made a huge impact, and even the jazz licks of the late band Changing Motion got the hall full and screaming for more. It was a blast!!! I hope everyone that reads this will tell a few select friends about Aquarius Festival, and bring them along next year to enjoy the biggest little festival in SE London.

As Brian says was the best ever and a great time was had by all who ventured up to the mountain. Many thanks to Brian who brings this wonderful festival off every year and to all the multi-talented artists who give it their all.


My video tribute to them all....

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
