Spend an afternoon with ‘National Treasure’ Michael Rosen to celebrate the publication of Getting Better in paperback. Chosen by the Guardian and the BBC as one of their ‘Books of 2023’, Getter Better is an essential companion for anyone who has loved and lost, or struggled and survived.
Michael Rosen has grieved the loss of a child, lived with debilitating chronic illness, and faced death itself when seriously unwell in hospital. In spite of this he has survived and has even learned to find joy in life in the aftermath of tragedy.
In Getting Better, he shares his story and the lessons he has learned along the way. Exploring the roles that trauma and grief have played in his own life, Michael investigates the road to recovery, asking how we can find it within ourselves to live well again after – or even during – the darkest times of our lives.
‘If I could prescribe Getting Better to the entire nation, I would…It’s a book that inspires hope, courage and belief in humanity. Basically, it reminds you how to live. I loved every single word.’ Dr Rachel Clarke
Please note, this event is suitable for ages 15+
Tickets:
One ticket and one book: £20 (includes one copy of Getting Better by Michael Rosen, book RRP £10.99)

Dulwich Folk are delighted to welcome back the great Scots fiddle player and singer Carol Anderson. We heard her before when she stepped in at the last minute when we had our first “after Burns” night in 2022. London audiences will know her from her years living in South London. Carol has moved back to Scotland so this is a rare occasion to catch up with her and not one to be missed!
Currently Carol spends a lot of her time as main resident tutor on the “ Sessions and Sail” voyages aboard the tall ship Lady of Avenel. As such, she has had the opportunity to teach and perform with many great musicians and singers from Scotland and Ireland. She is also currently Chair of Newcastleton Traditional Music Festival, the oldest festival of its kind in Scotland, which she has attended since her teenage years. Carol also teaches traditional Scottish music.
As is now traditional for our “after Burns”night Dulwich’s local Scottish musicians group will also be here in force ( hopefully this year we will not have a piper locked in the kitchen ! ). The night will be MC’d by Andy Clark, and as usual support will come from our residents and excellent floor singers who are all revising their Scottish repertoire.
