Unamplified music audible from around the churchyard. A man with his hand on his daughter's shoulder, both watching the dance performance with serious faces side-lit with a crimson glow.

Might be worth having a school afternoon when you invite school groups in. That might also support any funding bids. 3/10/11 4:52AM View Responses MORE ACTS. MORE MASSIVE. I SAY 'NOT LIKELY' TO QUESTION 2, AS I WONT BE IN UK. OTHERWISE I WOULD 3/10/11 5:19AM View Responses PLEASE keep it up - just brilliant really 3/10/11 5:46AM View Responses overall good 3/10/11 6:05AM View Responses That you do it again - and selfishly I would like you to do it in Brockley, please. I would really like it to become an annual event here, I would be prepared to travel but too long a journey lessens the impact, forcing one too quickly back to the mundane. It is a wonderful and emotional experience and the organisers learnt from mistakes in their first year. They did not have the generator noise that detracted from the event in 2009 and the vistitors moved more smoothly past the performers. It is something that can only get better and better. 3/10/11 9:19AM View Responses We really appreciated the event in 2010, but it did not feel as magical as 2009 somehow. The music and performances seemed to flow better that first year we attended - having said that, I am very grateful for the event happening at all so thankyou! 3/10/11 2:41PM View Responses This was one of the best local events I have attended. The enthusiasm, innovation and quality of performance was all excellent 3/10/11 4:11PM View Responses I was a little worried about the children's lanterns as I saw one going up in flames although fortunately no-one was hurt. 3/10/11 4:22PM View Responses poetry readers to have a device so can be heard more clearly 3/10/11 7:30PM View Responses keep up the good work 3/10/11 10:23PM View Responses Not sure how you could improve upon 2010, as it was excellent. 3/11/11 4:11AM View Responses the atmostphere was magical, the darkness with the glowstick lit paths, very poetic 3/14/11 4:07PM View Responses Loved the occasion, 3/17/11 8:50PM View Responses Approaching the gates on Brockley Road the number of police was a little disconcerting after the events that had taken place a couple of days earlier in the student fees protests. 3/18/11 4:03AM View Responses Keep it in B&L cemetery! 3/26/11 5:31PM View Responses Would be interested in reading some poetry at the event next year. 4/1/11 12:09AM View Responses #remembrance #uptheline #liveevent #feedbackcomments #heritage
