Saxy London Bridge's 800th year celebration

London, Summer Solstice weekend, June 2009

800 saxophonists paraded through the streets of London's Square Mile.
The procession ended at the south side of London Bridge. 2009 is the 800th anniversary of the first stone bridge in London.

Thanks to all the saxophonists who participated and to Sustain and The City of London Festival 2009 who staged the event.

A special thank you to and Amy and Jean and Chris.

Enjoy:)

Information about the event from Sustain's website
http://www.sustainmusic.org/
Part of the City of London Festival 2009, Sustain! is a three-day programme of music and ideas on the theme of sustainability, curated by John Harle musician and founder-director of Sospiro, working with Festival Director, Ian Ritchie.

Sustain! is a creative response to the potentially devastating consequences of economic and environmental climate change, and both brought on by human action and inaction. These are among the most urgent and important issues which we are required to face. In times of global change, imagination is a prized asset to search for new ways of thinking, behaving and leading.

Sustain! brings together people in the vanguard of thought and action who share a common aim to find these new ways and prepare us for the journey though the years ahead.

Nice video, love the saxy muscians. I could help but to wonder if you have heard of the London Bridge in Lake Havasu, Arizona. Robert McCulloch, the power tools guy, is saying he bought that from the City Of London in 1968. It looks kinda cute going over the Colorado River. Had you heard of it? Just wondered. . . Thanks for visiting my place. See you next time.
