Concert/Festival on Peckham Rye

[Peckhamrye]

The Bussey is on the other side of Rye Lane from PR Station to the right of the railway bridge - you go through a little alley to get to it.

It seems like they have a range of venues participating - none of them are on Peckham Rye Common or Park.

Seems to be all electronic music and DJs. Good luck to them, but not my cuppa.

Hmmm, no surprise that Zonderlings never heard back then!

I don't like this

"Now run by the same team behind The Montpelier, The White Horse has made a speedy transition from overlooked local into the neighbourhood?s newest favourite boozer. Sticking to a strict 100% vinyl only policy with resident selectors spinning Soul & Funk every Friday and boasting its own in-house band, The White Horse still packs plenty of old school charm despite its welcome change in direction."

The White Horse did a good trade before it changed hands thank you very much.

[Jeremy]

Ah, they're just trying to make it sound trendy (and it isn't)

I remember back in '89 when things were simpler and the police a bit naiver, a sound system came straight from a rave on a Sunday and just set up on Clapham Common at 11am followed by car loads of Acieeed kids, and the party carried on all day. The Next week the police were there in force but was a fab one off :) :) :)

The trendiness of Soul & Funk nowadays has me laughing away as in the late 70s it was so looked down on by the 'trendies'

Local ward councillors do get periodic lists of planned events. I have currently got a list until Autumn 2016. We get consulted too. I've not heard anything about this proposed Music Festival. I'm wondering if any application has been submitted to the Council yet. There is currently nothing on the events list for 14th May 2016 in Peckham Rye Park. On that date there is a Fun Run in Southwark Park. I would be surprised in an event of such magnitude (compared to other events on Peckham Rye Park) would be happening without consultation having been initiated and it having at least enquiry status on the Council calendar.

Renata - look a bit closer! It's not in the park/common, it's happening in various bars around the area...

OK, I've found it:

So it's actually in venues in or close to Rye Lane. My Colleagues from the Lane ward may know more about this, none of the venues are in Peckham Rye Ward.

Festival sounds great - looking forward to it!

I had tickets for the Gala festival this weekend... Ah well...

Will find a cheeky few sets and use my imagination.

Looks like Andrew Weatherall was booked. Now that is a loss.

[JohnL]

I think they got the year wrong :)

"Unfortunately and against all our efforts, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the fifth edition of GALA to the Bank Holiday 29th & 30th May 2021 in our beloved Peckham Rye Park."

JohnL, re-read the text you quoted, I don't think so..

next year IS 2021 !
