Anti-Anti-Folk Festival, Windmill, Brixton, September 2011

Billed as a “total mashup” with an exhortation to “CRUNK IT UP,” the Anti Anti Folk Festival at Brixton’s Windmill was sure to be a messy affair, and it certainly lived up to expectations.

Billed as a “total mashup” with an exhortation to “CRUNK IT UP,” the Anti Anti Folk Festival at Brixton’s Windmill was sure to be a messy affair, and it certainly lived up to expectations.

Featuring two-thirds of the original Alabama 3 crew, Brixton-based Mountain of Love slammed down an ace set at the Brixton Windmill last night.

A huge crowd turned out yesterday for the official reopening of the Brixton Windmill, which first opened in 1817.
Here’s some photos from the procession up Brixton Hill and the party in the park.

Situated in a small park called Windmill Gardens, at the west end of Blenheim Gardens, London SW2, the Brixton Windmill is set to reopen to the public on 2nd May 2011 after eight months’ restoration work.

They may be horribly overdue and not particularly good, but here’s my photos from the People’s Republic of Disco party at the Brixton Windmill last Saturday.

Weds: The week started early: as I popped out for “quiet” beers at the Albert followed by “just the one” at the Dogstar.

On a glorious summer afternoon, we walked up to the Brixton Windmill, to check out the Brixton Windmill festival, 2010.
Located off Blenheim Gardens SW2, the windmill is a partially restored (but not working) structure dating from 1817.
This time we were allowed into the first two floors of the structure for an entertaining talk.
Brixton’s got some awesome venues, and on any just about any given night you can find some great stuff going on.
Last night I checked out the excellent Lost Cavalry at the Brixton Windmill, and then strolled down the hill to check out a new band at the Prince Albert on Coldharbour Lane. It was an ace night!
Here’s some photos:
