Million Ponds Project
Pond Conservation helped us with our plans for the pond, so I pass this on.
From all the Million Ponds Project Team
Dear friends,

I'm working with Margaret Dunning and Ruth Essex in Bristol City Council's Arts, Festivals & Events Team on an installation by Bristol Artist Luke Jerram called Play Me, I'm Yours. The plan is to put 16 upright pianos in public outdoor spaces across the city for three weeks in September for people to play as part of the Colston Hall Opening celebrations. The idea is that the public can play the pianos and that gigs, concerts and performances will also be encouraged.
We are looking at a number of locations across the city, with some in the city centre and others out in the neighbourhoods. One of the key locations I have been asked to look into is St Andrews Park. I've checked the existing Premises License for the square and there is one in place that would cover this installation allowing us to have the piano operable from 8am to 11pm, Monday to Sunday for the three week period from Friday 4 September through until Monday 28 September 2009.
I would like to be able to meet up with someone from FOSAP to discuss possible location for the piano. We also need some help with unlocking the piano in the morning and locking it up at night so that it can't be played outside the entertainment licence hours and wonder if FOSAP might be able to help out?
Many thanks for your help with this matter.

Brick as it should reflect the houses that surround the Park but in essence it is probably a good idea but where will it stand wirh ELF & Safety?? We are so obsessed with that here but in Australia they would obviously take a far more pragmatic approach to a few burns Doug Reid k

P.S i will check the website for time to time so if you would like to add me as a contact and make all members aware of my membership to the site i will quite happily answer any questions.
I will add a date, as suggested, to the image for future reference. Pam is interested to be involved in the play area and will be in touch through the admin.
