magical things still happen in this area of naval history alongside the longest river in Bling Bling Blighty. It didn't always (slavery etc) but that was then and this is now.. Besides it's also a place of multi culture's birth (abolition etc) and drenched in global and alternative culture.
"You can't kill the spirit". they still say (and believe) round here.

Rocklands is the perfect place for an alternative tourist board from the parallel dimension of Planet Water. It's a non-profit anti business that begun on New Year's Day 003 (the magic number). (pic: Sanford Mural is one of the local land marks - on Planet Earth war & money win, on Planet Water, peace and nature win...)

02-003: kicked off on New Year's Day. Started collating local music contacts for Lewisham Mercury newspaper.  Corporation:Blend played London Metro (got some profile, new fans, industry interest and a fab gig offer for the following week at The Basement Club (presented by Gordon Raphael of Strokes album fame and Toby L of Rockfeedback). The show  led to new fans/industry interest and an offer to return and headline. After three weeks of existence, some kind musicians have offered a bit of financial assistance which will promote project further. Rocklands Tourist Board is in association with Ian at Grassroots Xchange (music support initiative) and Ceri at Subsonique (Rocklands based live promotor responsible for gigs and the Pepys Festival).

01-003: On new year's day Rocklands Tourist Board began on two different worlds. More of an Escapism Board really...
002: Rocklands Tourist Board ended 002 with a write up in the Lewisham Mercury newspaper and a quick interview on Goldsmiths College radio. Assisted with promoting King Adora and Ten Benson tours and teamed up with Ian at Grassroots Xchange (music support initiative) and Ceri at Subsonique (Rocklands based live promotor responsible for gigs and the Pepys Festival). Local resources centre, Magpie, had put Rocklands in touch with Ceri, and Greenwich's Mean-Time Radio. Local MP Joan Ruddock also put us in touch with Deptford X, the annual event that turns the area into a big gallery of galleries.
