STREET ART UTOPIA

For #SchiffSamstag here's a hovercraft which isn't technically a ship or a boat, and even though travelling on it is called a flight I don't consider it a plane either. Whatever. This one was coming across from the Isle of Wight and about to land at Southsea in 2011.

A little bit of #LocalHistory : The Battle of Southsea was a series of riots over 4 days in August 1874 over access to a section of #Southsea beach. Earlier in 1874, the Clarence Pier Company attempted to connect Clarence Pier to the nearby Assembly Rooms effectively closing public access to the beach between the pier and the Hot Walls in Old Portsmouth. Rioting broke out on Southsea Common as the crowd attempted to reopen the route. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Southsea #Portsmouth

Jack and Mary's Photo Album Sep 27

Jack and Mary were in Southsea near Portsmouth #OnThisDay 77 years ago, 27 September 1948. The monument in the background helps pinpoint exactly where Jack is sitting - this is the Battle of Trafalgar memorial with HMS Victory's anchor as its eye-catching feature on top of the stone plinth.

A fine cultural evening of instrumental mellifluousness at the Wedge last night; gloriously wonky tweaked beats courtesy of Secret Self, elegiac looped strings from violinist/violist Marina Moore and, to headline, the dark, ambient electronica of Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan (which is one the best band names of recent times).

With each set was complemented by animated visuals I could enjoy the mesmerising images alongside the music or, by closing my eyes, enjoy the soundtrack to the movie in my mind.

A fab nighht of live music at the Wedge, courtesy of Pompey's own Fake Empire and a hand-picked selection of local support bands, all for less than the cost of two beers.

With a curated line-up, and acts split between the main stage and the smaller Edge space, the evening had a familiar festival vibe (reminiscent of Dials and the much missed SputhseaFest, both of which took advantage of the Wedge's two room set up, and the upcoming Night Currents)

A great way both to showcase local talent and entertain music lovers on a wet Saturday night, all in Southsea's excellent Wedgewood Rooms. Lovely.
