BANKHOLIDAY PARTIES NoTTING HILL CaRNIvaL
Issue 30 / August 201
BANK HOLIDAY EVENTS LISTING
For those of you crazy London- ers who won’t be attending the Carnival (TGN will be there, jerk chicken in hand), we have found a few more bank holiday events that might tickle your fancy...
Issue 29 / July 2011
once a year, the streets of West London transform into a hub of Caribbean delights in all their forms... Carnival fever is setting in!
Notting Hill Carnival is, unquestionably, the highlight of London’s summer. If you don’t know about it then you must have been living under a rock for the last fifty years, so we’re not going to spend too much time talking about the history of the event. However we will say this: even though the history is rooted in a fantastic display of Caribbean food, music and culture, its modern incarnation symbolizes so much more. Perhaps not the first, but the most important observation you’ll make at the festival is the vast multiplicity of people to be found there. There are very few places
in the world where you can find almost every ethnic and social group in one place, without being able to identify one single majority whatsoever! This event is one of the most all-encompassing in the world - a human kaleidoscope of culture. Notting Hill Carnival is a beautiful symbol of diversity but also one of unity; despite their colourful differences, all the revellers are equally intoxicated with the music, the party fever and (let’s face it) a cocktail of alcohol and other drugs. Covering every kind of music, the festival doesn’t leave anybody or
anything out. We recommend that you leave your preconceptions at home and discover the music for yourself; however, we will still give you a few suggestions to help you along the way. Look out for ‘KCC & the Rockin Crew’, the guys to see if you are into classic funk music and want to check out some new House from the US. If you just feel like a solid festival anchor, head to ‘Gaz’z Rocking Blues’ where you will find
one of the festival’s longstanding staples and a solid set of Ska music all day long. If none of that

BOOK STOCK STREET PARTY
Find me at: The Book Club, Shoreditch When: 28th august, 12pm-9pm Price: FREE What better way for those Shoreditch hipsters, East London resi- dents and bank holiday tourists to unite than at a good old-fash- ioned street party? This free event is open to all, so why not drop by and say hi to a few of your London neighbours on Leonard Street? The party promises good fun and friendly community vibes with art- ists’ work on show, DJs, fancy dress and food and drink aplenty. How perfectly English!
appeals to you and you’re looking for some hardcore Hip-Hop, head over to Rampage where the beats are phat! We are not talking commercial stuff; the music here is real and it is going to blow your mind and your eardrums at the same time. Don’t worry though - Norman Jay is there to provide you with a bit of funk and soul to soothe those ears after you’ve had your fill of adrenaline rushes. Bask in the atmosphere and rave to the music, gorge yourself on spicy jerk chicken and wash it down with a Red Stripe or three; if this doesn’t sound like the perfect summer’s day in London for you, then you might as well get straight back under that rock of yours.
SOUTH BANK BEACH
Find me at: Southbank Centre When: Ongoing Price: FREE Too lazy for a trip to Brighton? Don’t worry, for the Thames has been transformed into a seaside resort especially for us city-dwellers (mi- nus the seagulls, hopefully!). The Southbank Centre celebrates its 60th anniversary this year and the festivities continue right through to the end of summer. So get yourself to South Bank this bank holiday, make your way to the beach huts by the soft sand, pull up a (deck)chair and relax in the city’s very own makeshift beach.
OUTDOOR FILM SCREENING
Find me at: Dulwich Picture Gallery When: 29th august, 6.30pm Price: £6 We thought it was only in 1950s’ america that you could go to out- door film screenings... How very wrong we were. If you enjoy a bit of Travolta with your summer lovin’ then raid your fancy dress box for some Sandy-esque leather attire and get yourself down to Dulwich for this well-priced screening of the iconic Grease!
