Madness at Blackheath

The festival was on at Blackheath. Although we were a bit slow in the morning, we walked up the hill around 3.00 an the setup was amazing.

They had enclosed 25-30 acres of Blackheath and there were 4 stages, including a cooking one, food stalls and street entertainment everywhere.

We partook of the food and a cocktail or 2 enjoying the bustle. By the time Madness hit the main stage we were ready.

Sorry about the photos, but it was heaving. They were absolutley brilliant and even though they first started in 1979, have still got it!

Shug and crew belted out to a captive audience, and by the end there was not a person that was not bouncing up and down. All ages were there and it was great. I have not seen a concert where everybody was jumping.

Sadly it finished around 9.30 and we walked back home fully satisfied. Jill arrived shortly after we returned, so we debriefed with her following her Italy and Turkey escapades.

Up this morning and rain has returned. Have a few things to do but will be out later to meet Jill's other friends and see London central.
