Notting Hill Carnival 2011


Dubby

Recommended Posts

With great regret I am having to announce that KCC & The Rockin Crew (Wornington Rd W10 ) will not be making an appearance at this years Notting Hill Carnival.There are a number of factors for this, but the result is that we are unable to provide a show this year that would be comparable to the standards we have set ourselves over the past 21 years. We have tried till the very last possible moment to find some sort of solution to put things together. Unfortunately for this year it is just not possible.

I would like to take this moment to thank you all for your support over the last 21 years.

KCC & The Rockin Crew will be back bigger & stronger for Nottinghill Carnival 2012.

Sincerely

Keith KCC Franklin

Head Organiser for KCC & The Rockin Crew.

It is with real sadness and profound regret that I am left with no alternative but to officially announce today that GOOD TIMES sound system are unable to participate in this year’s Notting Hill carnival festivities due to a myriad of extenuating circumstances, some of which were simply beyond our control. After endless meetings, countless late night brainstorming sessions and many sleepless nights, we concluded it just wasn’t possible for us this year to present a show worthy of your high expectations of us.

So after more than 3 decades of deejaying at the Notting Hill carnival (20 of those at our current location on the corner of West Row and Southern Row) entertaining generations of our fans, the realisation that we cannot be there on August 28th and 29th has been a particularly devastating one for us all to come to terms with. Saying that, on a more positive note, we feel that a one year sabbatical away from carnival and all that it entails will prove to be of real benefit to all concerned in the long run, giving us all a bit of time and space to evaluate what it really means to be part of the greatest street festival in Europe. A precedent has already been set with regard to established UK festivals taking a gap year with even the ‘mother’ of all UK festivals, GLASTONBURY officially announcing a one year break in 2012. Good Times will not be hosting an official after party either this year.

I must stress at this point that the world famous Notting Hill carnival NEEDS to be supported and needs your continued support. Although it remains the UK’s largest FREE cultural event, Notting Hill carnival continues to offer the visitor unrivalled cultural and musical experiences throughout the weekend which still NEEDS to be supported and needs your support. And even though our GOOD TIMES sound system is unable to be there this year, I implore you dedicated music and party loving fans to still come along on August bank holiday weekend and enjoy more than just the sight and sounds of the iconic red double decker bus.

All that remains to be said is that GOOD TIMES would like to sincerely thank you for over 30 unbelievable years of continuous partisan support, not only of our original sound system but of our music events and brand too.

Therefore we very much look forward to seeing you massed around West Row and Southern Row in 2012. So all is not as bad as it at first seems. We will be back!

Looks like no Rampage either:

For the first time in 17 years of participating in the Notting Hill Carnival, Rampage will not be part of this year's event.We always aim to improve the experience for the audience at all of our events.Unfortunately our exhaustive summer has meant that we have been unable to complete these inprovements.The only place that Rampage can be seen this Bank Holiday Weekend in London is at Hidden in Vauxhall.

We look forward to returning bigger and better next year for Carnival 2012!
