Looks like the John Lewis / OnBlackheath music festival on the heath has now been postponed until September 2014, according to this comment from councillor Kevin Bonavia:
Lewisham Council has just been notified by OnBlackheath that they have decided not to go ahead with the event this year. I understand that OnBlackheath are now working on plans for September 2014, which we are likely to hear more about towards the end of this year.

Reminds me of that old Private Eye cartoon:
First person: “I’m writing a book.”
Second person: “Neither am I.”
It does begin to look like this will never happen. Any idea what audience they are/were targetting?
It’s happening. See letter from Executive Director for Customer Services Kevin Sheehan here:

Another application now before council. Good cause and in the right location away from homes. But why in perpetuity rather than annual renewal to take account of any problems?
