He asked the local authority (Westminster at the time) for permission to turn the rubble into a park. Westminster gave temporary permission \u2013 hence the name, Meanwhile. The name stuck and the Gardens prospered. Meanwhile Gardens is still there today and is still a nice day out.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018idiot picnics\u2019 which were held four times a year at Meanwhile Gardens from the summer of 1977 to the last events in 1988 were organised by the Lancaster Music Co Op and the Street Level studios folk (notibly Kif Kif and Grant Showbiz) with the additonal help of Protag. The Meanwhile Gardens events which I attended and jumped around in the sand pit with a bottle of Merrydown cider in hand, were enjoyable affairs with a real mix up bands and performers\u00a0turning up to play, or to perform for free in the summer sun.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/i192.photobucket.com\/albums\/z149\/pengy1966\/pengy1966%20stuff\/KYPP60.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"606\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Happy Birthday to Lou<\/strong> photographed here with Brett and Tony Puppy at Puppy Mansion, Westbere Road, NW2 in 1980.<\/p>\n<p>Many happy returns to you Louise, all at KYPP wishing you a relaxing day with the wintery sun streaming through your window in Barnet.<\/p>\n<p>For your listening pleasure,\u00a0the first of the two blistering\u00a0gigs by The Mob performed\u00a0in the summer of 1983 at the Meanwhile Gardens\u00a0all dayers,\u00a0\u00a0recorded in crystal clear mixing desk quality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/themobfansite\" target=\"_blank\">Official Mob Site<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another Day Another Death \/ Dance On \/ Raised In A Prison \/ Our Life Our World \/ Witch Hunt \/ Stay \/ I Hear You Laughing \/ Gates Of Hell \/ No Doves Fly Here \/ Slayed \/ What&#8217;s Going On \/ I Wish \/ Youth Shuffling Souls \/ Witch Hunt Thirty five years [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-links-downloads"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5482,"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102\/revisions\/5482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
