I got myself down to Brixton after work and took a bus to Brockwell Park where loads of revellers had gathered for a free festival following a rally earlier on in the day. This was the first pic I took as I enjoyed the sights and sounds that surrounded me, and it's of some African drummers. Note the array of different drums for them to play on.
As
is always the case with festys like this one, there were numerous stalls
set up with various things to attract those with cash to spend. Walking
around, I spotted a queue of people waiting to have their hands (or whatever)
painted with henna by the Asian lady below. Note the cowbells behind her
(most kids who walked past with their parents just couldn't resist giving
them a rattle!).
Along
with the stalls, there were various tents blasting out whatever music that
took people's fancy, be it live or by a sound system. I got this pic as
I poked my head in a tent where there was some speed garage playing. As
you'd expect, there were plenty of posers sporting Versace and Armani around
me (or anything with a pricy label!). Feeling a little scruffy in their
presence, I moved on.
Walking
around the park, I met a lady who's a regular at the South Library called
Rosie (hello if you're reading this!) who'd brought her kids along, though
when I saw her, she only had her oldest son Cillian with her (he cheekily
asked me if he could have the Cartman badge on the lapel of my denim jacket!).
Traipsing around, I got this pic of the festivities as they happened right
in front of me from a distance.
