all fair points, but still nothing whatsoever to do with the people behind this event, so the comments are entirely misplaced...

As the events in "Brixton Village" the comments are valid.As I see it renaming it Brixton Village is a move to make it a trendy happening place which the owners may believe is more profitable in the long run than boring old shops.Artists types dont always see the background to what they do.
or perhaps the artists saw an opportunity to do something positive in the area despite the generally negative things that are happening there.
are you proposing a boycott on people doing things there until they change the name back?

Never more emphatically have the words, "Hear, hear!" occurred to me. Especially in the light of the current Boulevard thread.

Seriously, some of this sounds good but they really ought to think twice before putting out risible guff like the above. If they *aren't* a bunch of Twustafarian art students then their publicity is certainly making it sound that way.
The only performer I know listed is the poet Yap, and I guarantee he is as UN-Tallulah as it gets - one of the few people I've met who really does walk it like he talks it. Btw he's also on my bill at offline on 11th November.
