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.

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).

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

"THE PECKHAM RYE MUSIC FESTIVAL TAKES PLACE PRIMARILY ON SATURDAY 14TH MAY 2016 SHOWCASING THE BEST LOCAL ARTISTS, DJ?S, RECORD LABELS AND MORE. WE ARE ALSO BRINGING SOME OF THE MOST EXCITING AND RESPECTED NAMES IN UNDERGROUND MUSIC FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE TO OUR CORNER OF SOUTH EAST LONDON."


Excuse the capitals, them not me.

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.

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
