I dunno. I quite fancy it as it's free.

 

[bluestreak]

i'll be there.

 

[spanglechick]

this is what i was trying to tell Monkeygrinder's about at the weekend, except i couldn't remember the date, the name, the cause or the lineup...

I dunno. I quite fancy it as it's free.

it's free, and it's in the festival-holding park closest to my house.

shall I wear a "Respect" T-shirt that has nothing to do with Gorgeous George for the irony?

 

[Dougal]

Is that sound system playing?

 

[DJWrongspeed]

last years in Burgess Park was excellent, top weather top acts didn't see any trouble either.

 

[art of fact]

yeh im up for this

 

[girasol]

It's free, and it's near me, will be there...

 

[Sunray]

Cant beat free entertainment. Hope the weather isn't like today.

<wonders how she missed it> @self

 

[Hollis]

Looks pretty good.. might make it there! Decisions!!

 

[MarkMark]

yes, it has to be done!

 

[dolly's gal]

sounds fun. and it's only up the road. so yeh, reckon if the weather's nice me and me fella will make it

 

[nightowl]

last one i went to was down the road from mile end and there was some huge fight between two gangs of asian youths. generally it's a pretty good free day out though

 

[porno thieving gypsy]

The line up is too good to miss, even with a broken arm i'm going to try aqnd make it.

All we need is the Sun back now

 

[ChrisFilter]

Seems I'm going to this..

 

[Farmer Giles]

Is it fenced in and do they have searches?

 

[maximilian ping]

this is my manor and the fact it's free means i have to go.

 

[Numbers]

Bollox anyway, I have pre-arranged plans for a visit to some pals to Windsor, bollox anyway. I hope they cancel, cos I'll be shot if I do.

 

[Hollis]

Is it fenced in and do they have searches?

I'd be very suprised if they did.

 

[rennie]

I'm not in London this weekend.

 

[twister]

Seems I'm going to this..

most enthusiastic response of the day goes to Mr Filter..

 

[rich!]

Is it fenced in and do they have searches?

they might put up a fence, but it will be more of crowd management than anything else.

I've never seen the Mayor's lot do searches at their festivals.

 

[William of Walworth]

Bloody Festival date clashes ...

I might be along to this, not sure yet

The Lewisham Peoples' Day (Mountsfield Park, Catford) is also this coming Saturday (8th), also free .....



This one's bigger with a better lineup, but I've done Lewisham several times in the past and liked it, seems a bit disloyal to defect somehow ...

 

[ChrisFilter]

most enthusiastic response of the day goes to Mr Filter..

Thanks. It's an honour. I've worked hard for years for this. I'd like to thank my family, my girlfriend, my friends and of course my team mates!

Looking forward to Sway.. there should be more Grime on the line-up though.

Know if there's likely to be any free drinks?

 

[Stig]

Know if there's likely to be any free drinks?

I do.

No, there isn't likely to be any free drinks.

 

[Hollis]

Well, cheers anyway !!!!!!

I went last year and it was pretty good (with the exception of a certain Mr B Bragg). The line-up is better this year, I'm definitely up for it.
