I'll be in London Saturday so I may try and stay for this before heading back. I need to reach one at some point definitely.

I'm coming down from Scotland for a gig at Ally Pally on Saturday night, tempted to extend my stay by another night to tick off another system on the list of 'systems I really want to hear'...

Edit: Crap, got my week's mixed up. I'm down *next* weekend :(

Thanks, 

The Dock story is a long one!.. but, brick built in late 1800's, it had been given free to Thames Water in the 80's, closed to the public, then left derelict and polluted, squatted by a massive building contractor, and i've helped with the charity set things up, to return it to use as moorings.

We first got a community boat, used for various things, and it's on the land here temporarily as a venue. The goal is to get the land around the dock opened up again permanently, as public space and arts venue/s, as a support to a self sustaining creative quarter in a neglected part of east London. We are in the process of cleaning it up and making safe, but hire out various parts for different events, and sometimes I can get the whole system out Smile.

Some may know i have a Barge with my workshop in, and i pay the charity to moor outside the dock, whilst we try to raise funds to open up the dock, and the new public space/footpaths... 

oops. i need to go and babysit a folk band in the community boat tonight..

Thats kind of it though, we have few residents nearby so having a massive outdoor system is not too much of a problem, and the acoustics as the sound reverberates down the dock is amazing.

Pretty much what we're trying to do with the town hall. I keep saying I'll pop down but for one reason or another I keep on flaking. Video looks great though.

What is the cover that you guys have used? Is it simply being held up by wind or is there a central pole?

You're probably talking about the parachute? No pole just, hung.

@sam pop over!

Here's another video, from another sound night we did here, with better shots of the space and a few speaker shots:
