Acoustic singer-songwriter Frank Turner, who will headline the festival in September, performed an exclusive set list to guests on the roof garden while guests sipped on bottles of sponsor Meantime beer.

London-based unsigned band Rhys Lewis and the Relics were also announced as the winners of the #PlayOnBlackheath competition, which will see them supporting Turner on stage at the festival.

Other guests at the event included veteran concert promoter and OnBlackheath producer Harvey Goldsmith, celebrity cook and food writer Gizzi Erskine, who will host her own chefs club at the festival and chef Neil Rankin, who served up pulled pork tacos for the party.

OnBlackheath is set to take place on 13 and 14 September in Blackheath, London. Other artistes confirmed to perform alongside Turner include Massive Attack, Grace Jones and Imelda May.

Goldsmith said: "This is a true London festival committed to a weekend brimming with entertainment. South London needed a premiere annual event and this is the first of its kind, in a fantastic landmark location."
