London Mardi Gras 2001
The rain threatened an appearance but a sorcher ensued at Finsbury Park as Mardi Gras 2001 unfolded - a mad day of rushing around, quaffing beer and Pimms, catching up with friends, listening to music: ahh, all the good things! (01/07/01)
The crowds assemble outside the main gate as we waited for the rest of the entourage
Tracy and Kate soak up the sun and atmosphere
The main stage - Graham Norton and Lorraine Kelly hosting ... oh, hello sailor!
Johnny, Wade and their fan club watching Björn Again rattle off the hits.
David and Andy - well under the influence by this stage!
Renegade Australian Ange and me ... from Greece to London
Another madcap Aussie traveller, Kimmy, takes charge with a pinkish friend
Party people at the Radio 1 dance stage
Tom and I relive the glory days of 1991 listening to EMF (yes, EMF!)
Tom and Nick relax as the sun goes down
The ever pumping Trade tent (didn't make it in this year though, alas)
The carnival lights went up as we stragglers finally got the boot
