Vyner Street - helpers needed
What: Vyner Street Festival
Where: Vyner St, off Cambridge Heath Rd, E2
When: Saturday 26th August, Sunday 27th August 28th
Organised by: The Eel Collective (www.myspace.com/eelfanzine) and The Victory pub
Previous: Though the street party has been happening for a few years (organised solely by the Victory pub), last year saw the event grow into a fully fledged arts and music festival. The street was closed to traffic, a stage was built, a market and kids play area was set up and the street was decorated with bunting for the village fete theme. Several bands (including Alan Tyler, Tits of Death, Jesus Licks, Blanket, The Council…) and DJs performed on the main stage and the market was given over to artists. Over 500 people attended the event, which raised money for FSIDs, which sponsors research into cot death syndrome.
Details for 2006 festival: The festival will follow a similar format to last year with music, art, kids, food and beer. The theme though this year is 30yrs since punk, with the “Punk Olympics” organised for kids and elders. We have several bands and DJs interested in playing and will be making decisions on that shortly – we will have 2 stages – the main eel stage and a smaller stage (yet to be named!). We will again be running the market and are looking for stall holders from people wanting to sell weird arty shit. The Victory pub will take care of beer, food and a kiddie area.
How you can help: We’re looking for people/organisations to get involved in the day – particularly those with a connection to Vyner St or Broadway Market/London Fields/Victoria Pk area. Help is needed in terms of:
- More ideas to make it work!
- Bands, djs, market stalls holders
- People prepared to help in the running (before and on the day)
- Finance, sponsorship (we have some but could do with some more)
- Marketing and communicating the event
Please let me know if you are interested?!
If so, we’re holding a meeting at the Victory pub on Vyner Street on this Sunday 6-7pm – please come along – bring your ideas and support
Meanwhile here's a little youtube of us making the Vyner fanzine on London Fields in one day (the flash eel)
