Lambeth Country Show - 2008

[trashpony]

Grrr. I've got friends coming down for this, and guess which weekend the Victoria line's shut? If I'm late for the ferret racing because of waiting for buses to arrive there'll be trouble.

Think I'll tell 'em to take the train from Victoria.

Oh FFS. And of course the bloody overground is doing engineering works too

 

[talawa]

bloody lambeth never paid Alton Ellis's advance fee so he not playing now. . stupidness. no top reggae acts at all this year - very dissapointed.

 

[editor]

I *might* have the singer from The Thirst doing an acoustic after-show set at the Albert on the Saturday.

If I can sort the cash out (the bill is already mighty and there's a few bills to pay for this one).

 

[tarannau]

Bugger. Maybe they can wheel Levi Roots out so he can do his sodding "Reggae Reggae Sauce' song again.

I turned on the Beeb this morning and that opportunist was on there, shoehorning his plug/song/blatant advert in under the excuse that it's his most famous number. Cue pishy lyrics including 'it tastes so nice, I named it twice. Reggae Reggae Sauce< REGGAE REGGAE sauce' <repeat approx 17,000 times)

The man's an irrespressible marketeer!

More seriously I can't believe they can't find a replacement. If the will existed...

 

[London_Calling]

Hope the sheep-shearing this year has more sheep than the sheep-herding did last year; no sheep at all but a lot of geese!

geese-shearing


How can they be so incompetent as to not communicate with TFL?

Quicker to get the train to Herne Hill, no?

 

[Mr Moose]

Yes - Herne Hill is the gate nearest to where its happening.

Do Urbs have anyway of identifying themselves. Secret hanshakes, all wear cravats etc.?

 

[Ms T]

Yes - Herne Hill is the gate nearest to where its happening.

Just head for the Chucklehead Cider tent.

Seriously, there's usually some kind of vague meet-up.

that is hugely whack!

 

[netbob]

[EastEnder]

Will probably pop along if the weather is nice...

 

[rennie]

Gutted. Lambeth Council have really cocked up on this one.

 

[snowy_again]

Drat, why is LB Lambeth so rubbish? Still, I can marvel at the song writing ability of Omar, who i bet is currently sipping a glass of cold champagne wine, whilst contemplating that the rug he's lying on feels divine. The planned chucklehead run has now expanded to wheel barrow proportions.

 

[ringo]

Alton has now been replaced by.........................ASWAD!!!

Live & Direct! You know what live and direct mean? It mean LIVE AND DIRECT!!!!

 

[tarannau]

Wasn't an ex-member of Aswad playing anyway. Has he rounded up some extra mates?

 

[tommers]

I'm going to bring my frisbee.

 

[Badgers]

This is one I have not been to before, just bad timing every year.
Have plans on Sunday so will try to get along on Saturday as I like this kind of thing.

 

[bluestreak]

I'm going on Saturday only as it's Lovebox on Sunday.

Just in case anyone cares, like.

 

[tarannau]

I'm going to bring my frisbee.

Heh. I'm actually ok with that.

It's when you send out a massive email chain first, turn up with coloured bibs and lay out a play-area using specifically crafted frisbo-bollardsTM that I'll start to convulse with righteous anger.

 

[mccliche]

ASWAD!!!!

big, it was them that did the lyric (in jamaican accent) "crowd is roaring, ian wright socring, everyone know yeh the champions on the way" ...or similar

is it def them...or just the guitarist?

 

[tommers]

Heh. I'm actually ok with that.

Oh.

Ok. I'll do that then.

I might have trouble with the frisbo-bollards.

And ska legend Derrick Morgan is in town (staying in Tulse Hill - only 50 yards away)! They could have had him instead.

I don't know why the main stage is always so underwhelming, that's my only criticism of the day. Why not just book the dubpistols or summit, they're local boyz

Where did you find this information? I want to see the ferret racing. are those times for both days?

 

[Badgers]

I want to see the ferret racing.

Me too

 

[Etymologist]

Me too

As a cete of badgers yourself, you are related to the ferret. If i'm not mistaken you are both mustelids. I'm sure they'll leave your balls alone. Actually, they'd probably eat their own balls if they believed the balls had wronged them. Vicious little killers.

Someone emailed them out to everyone on the Facebook group for the LCS.
