Lewisham People's Day, 2004
Saturday 10th July in Mountsfield Park, Catford.
Now celebrating its 20th year, the Annual Lewisham People's Day is South East London's largest and longest running community festival.
Billed as a celebration of 'creative Lewisham', the large site included a 'respect' stage plus stages for dance, music, djs, poetry and circus.
Also in attendance were urban75 chums, The People's Republic of Disco (PROD), who were given a large tent to host their democratic DJ event.

With the event wittily entitled, 'The Summer of Our Disco Tent', the People's Republic of Disco were given a monster-sized tent.

When the weather turned bad, people came flocking into the tent. I think the DJs were praying for rain the whole day.

Gold painted, bald blokes on stilts being odd.
