Jools Holland, Roger Waters, local bands.. Athlete, lucky soul, and a few others, an affordable gig at the 02,bring it on sounds like a good idea, why not some classical/jazz concerts in greenwich park as well.

    Really and truly every London based band should want to get involved , especially that band from Greenwich that Rothko kept talking about. Would be good if they could make it like a festival, and then maybe even make it like a Greenwich Glastonbury, based in Greenwich park, bit too far-fetched though.

    Living in greenwich as i do bexleyheath_red you're right we should make more use more of the park,plenty of local boroughs have local festivals but not Greenwich....
    a waste of space or am i wrong? in the park we could have picnics and classical music jazz and punch and judy and other activities, plus we have the musuem as well, shame we don't utilise it more.

    Would be good publicity for anyone who wants to get involved.

    I'm a big one for my history, but I can't help thinking that, "it's just a boat". It ain't even really that famous a boat, other than the fact that it's been dry docked at Greenwich for years. I mean, it didn't even end up doing that many tea runs in the end and instead was on the Australia run before it got flogged off to johnny foreigner after a while.

    That said, if I had a spare £50mill I'd donate it like a shot. It's now part of our local heritatge so is worth saving - just about!

    any chance this could be held at The Valley ?

    it should be at one of three venues: The 02, Greenwich Park, or The Valley

    Could call the gig "Rock the Boat"!

    Drove pass their the other day and I could still smell the burnt wood. I would assume that Jools Holland and his music contact could easily throw something together.

    Less famous perhaps but Jack Penate and Maccabees are both from the area as well! Both new bands who should be pretty big in a year or so.

    Yeah 3blokes and The Herberts but everybody would be wanting a copy of Proud to be an Addick CD which would detract from the purpose of the gig for raising money for the burnt out boat.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Suze, but I think they both moved out of the area a while ago.

    I used to live in Court Road - used to occasionally see her Sainsbury's. The house is one of the big ones kinda opposite the vehicle entrance to Eltham Palace.
