Render of stage in planning application.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n An application has been submitted<\/a> for a proposed series of music concerts to be held at the Old Royal Naval College this summer.<\/p>\n Labyrinth are set to host a number of events this summer<\/a> following its debut last year with Moby, The Kooks, Overmono and Peggy Gou among those to perform.<\/p>\n Whilst this may be the second time for Labyrinth music events have been held each summer on site for some time. This new application covers this year\u2019s layout and stage appearance.<\/p>\n It\u2019s Design and Access Statement includes images from prior years and it\u2019s interesting to note how stage design has evolved.<\/p>\n There\u2019s much more focus on the backdrop now than in some previous events.<\/p>\n Its a move that makes perfect sense given the dramatic backdrop behind performing artists.<\/p>\n Lighting this year is by High Scream who are \u201can internationally recognised production company experienced in delivering architecturally sensitive productions within major heritage settings.<\/p>\n \u201cTheir recent projects include historic sites such as Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Antique d\u2019Orange and the United at Home production at The Louvre Museum, both UNESCO listed sites. They have also produced major cultural events, such as the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.\u201d<\/p>\n In terms of getting there Cutty Sark DLR and Maze Hill served by Thameslink and Southeastern Metro are the closest.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve never felt National Rail promote Maze Hill station enough for its access to Greenwich. It\u2019s by far the closet station to Greenwich Park, the Queen\u2019s House and Maritime Museum. From central London it\u2019s only 10 minutes from London Bridge. Much quicker than the DLR from Zone 1.<\/p>\n Heading into the realms of \u201cit won\u2019t happen but would benefit the railways\u201d perhaps a good idea for Southeastern, Thameslink or a future Great British Railways would be to rename Maze Hill as Greenwich Park station to simply shine a bigger light on the station and where it serves, getting more passengers on rail and generating additional revenue.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also less hassle getting from Maze Hill compered to, say, Cutty Sark DLR as there\u2019s no stairs, escalators or lifts to ascend then battling through narrow and cramped paths. A lot less stress when with kids for example.<\/p>\n Despite the site\u2019s proximity to Maze Hill station, the application states Greenwich station will be the main station for travel. Which is true but should Maze Hill could be promoted to a greater extent.<\/p>\n The application also states that \u201cThe Greenwich Foot Tunnel is an attractive option for attendees living locally on the north side of the river. It is estimated that up to 500 people per night utilised this route in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n Let\u2019s hope those troublesome lifts are working as one lift has only been working 31 per cent of the time<\/a> over the past month according to Greenwich Council\u2019s tracking website.<\/p>\n The state of the tunnel also leaves something to be desired. For the past two weeks vomit has been left to fester in the tunnel showing how poor cleaning is of the key route to a World Heritage Zone site.<\/p>\n The Escalate Now campaign group who fought and secured escalator improvements at Cutty Sark DLR station state<\/a> the tunnels are cleaned once a month.<\/p>\nLighting<\/h3>\n
