June 7th - Day 50 (Yeeeeeeeee-ha!!!)



I learnt today how hard it is to take photos of musicians performing in bandstands - especially when there's twelve of them. These people are the Trans Siberian March Band (myspace.com/transsib). They were preceded by Romani Rad, who were dancers supported by guitars and accordian. The bottom photo seems to have been taken at the exact same time as the musicians dropped their guitars and accordian.
I guess bandstands such as this one - the Victorian one in Southwark Park - have played a significant part in providing live music in London for many a year. Time for some research...more to follow...

August 16th - Day 120

Happy. After fifty days "camera-phone alone", I've got my camera back. These musicians in lovely, lazy, sunny Southwark Park on the Bandstand are The Sax Pastilles - sorry guys, I've only just got the pun now I've seen the name written down. This is what Southwark Gov said, "This Sunday London's newest Jazz sensation, The Sax Pastilles, bring New Orleans to South London and the 1920's up to date with toe tapping classic jazztastic tunes performed with a dash of humour and a pinch of pizazz!"
