Concert/Festival on Peckham Rye

[jimmyraj]

Zippos only takes over a small portion of the Rye. I'm against more and more big corporate festivals in places like the Rye. It's a shame to see huge portions of Clapham Common portioned off each summer, and also Battersea for the Formula E or Hyde Park for Winter Wonderland. As others have said, parks are a vital green lung for Londoners - many of whom don't have green spaces of their own - and should be predominantly free and open to all.

Why not get round the problem of secondary ticketing by not having tickets in the first place. Make it free, then noone can complain about the park being taken over. Make it a bring your own bottle, that way its really inclusive, if you fancy a flute of champagne, and I most certainly do, thats groovy, but if a bottle of cheap ciders your things thats fab too. And just just ask lots of local bands to play, they may not have the talent or crowd appeal of Adelle, but they wont cost anything either.

Simples (as the kids say!)

http://www.envfair.org.uk/ I've been to this and it's really good, all pretty much unknown bands fairly locally based lots of interesting and alternative market stalls. Something like this on Peckham Rye free of course would be a big attraction I'm sure. Carshalton had dreadful weather 2015 which is always the danger for these outdoor events, but it was still a great atmosphere.

Brilliant!

A one day community festival, yes.

A corporate weekender. Hell no!

Totally agree with this.

But I suspect that we don't have the necessary transport infrastructure anyway. And others have raised doubts as to whether the space is actually big enough (the actual open space - "the common" - is far smaller than Victoria Park or Clapham Common).

[Earl Aelfheah]

Yep, agree with that.

Could you post on this thread any information or correspondence that Peckham Rye ward councillors have in relation to this subject Cllrs Dr. Hamvas, Mills and Edwards. Thanks

[GroveLaneMan]

Ah bring it on ! A big bumper weekend on the Rye full of great bands would be brilliant . Great stuff

[Otta]

Hamstead Heath, Blackheath, Clapham Common, Wandsworth Common. All large areas of land where big festival type affairs would work. Peckham Rye is a patch of grass in comparison.

Dear Councillors.

As Peckham Rye Councillors, who's wards cover the common and park, I would be glad of your responses to my request.

Thank you

Is there not a concert in CP coming up in June?

[MissKing]

transport links aren't regular enough for a huge event I wouldn't have thought?

Harrow?

Hmmmm.

[DuncanW]

Assuming that's somebody's home address, should that really be posted on the forum?

Appreciate that anyone could seek it out, but still!

[tobeapoet]

Maybe it will end up being something like this? http://www.ip-art.com/

That's from my home town - we always enjoyed it, free to get into, local bands in a park about the same size!

[Jeremy]

Sounds good... local artists and underground music. Certainly nothing like a Clapham Common "calling" type festival. (Suspect much of the music will not be to my taste, but that's irrelevant I suppose).

Picking on the address of the domain name registration... this is just petty nit-picking. There could be any number of valid reasons - maybe a friend helping out with the website, or someone's parents address, etc. If you are so concerned, mail them and ask about it. Rather than being so bloody negative.

[Otta]

I also think it sounds promising. Wondering how the mighty Zonderlings get in the line up.

[ed_pete]

Lineup announced.

Never heard of any of them,but then I'm probably not the target demographic.

[edhistory]

I can't find the events license at www.southwark.gov.uk.

Can anyone find it?

I'd like to know the music curfew time.

It not on the Rye I think it's named after the train station. Seems to be multi venue Bussey building etc

[edhistory]

Thanks for the clarification.

I found Frank's: http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?Id=669

I can't find the Bussey Building.

Can anyone help?
