Glasto Refuseniks’ Picnic, Brixton

June 28th, 2009 8:20pm No comments

urban75 posters held the traditional Glasto Refuseniks’ party for those unswayed by the temptations of Glastonbury.

Taking place in Brockwell Park, the home made food was delicious, the weather was terrific and it was a delightful way to pass a Sunday afternoon.

Critical Mass, London

June 27th, 2009 9:15pm No comments

Apart from some positively psychotically incandescent cabbies (and, to be honest, one or two testosterone-overcharged cyclists), this was a fabulous ride, with hundreds of cyclists enjoying a leisurely, car-free saunter around the streets of central London.

When we heard that a venue had cancelled the farewell gig for our friends The Shanners, we quickly assembled the Offline Pronto Gig Relocation crew, and found them a new home at the Dogstar for their last ever show. And it was ruddy great too!

Midsummer’s Eve at Myatt’s Fields Park

A free event on Midsummer’s Eve, ‘The Big Event’ coincided with the launch of the annual Camberwell Arts Festival, and marked the official re-opening of Myatt’s Fields Park after its extensive �3m renovation.

Designed by Fanny Wilkinson – one of Britain’s first female professional landscape gardeners and a strong supporter of women’s suffrage – the park dates back to Victorian times, being opened in 1889.
