st joseph’s is not just any primary school. it is a primary school with its own carnival. and whilst they had encountered us at various southwark council organised events, such as the infamous bermondsey carnival, this was their own stand-alone 100 fantastic years of our primary school celebration. there were few of the participants there who were alive 10 years ago, never mind 100… and similarly in the band, few who could remember the last bermondsey carnival – it being a chance to take out new members of the band from city university, in their first gig. pictured below is senior lecturer chris wiley (front, 4th from right) of city music department. his first (and maybe last) gig.
