Come help us celebrate the publication of 'HERO: David Bowie' A fascinating new biography by Lesley Ann-Jones TMRW night 7pm at Rye Books

In Hero: David Bowie, Jones turns her attention to Bowie in a candid exploration of the man behind the reinventions. The book will be a journey to discover the real David Jones; as well as the David Bowie who lived eternally in the spotlight.Covering his music, his lifestyle, the golden-year highs and the wilderness lows.


Jones is the author of a number of biographies including Freddie Mercury: The Definitive Biography and Ride a White Swan: The Lives and Death of Marc Bolan


As a long-time fan and associate of Bowie, Jones has brought meticulous research together with her personal insights and understanding to create an extensive and detailed portrait of a one of music?s greatest heroes.


Jones said: "I am thrilled to be writing this. I met David Bowie when I was a child, became a music writer thanks to him, and worked with him down the years. I used to joke that a call from David to write his biography was the Holy Grail of publishing. That is never going to happen now, of course. But I relish the opportunity to tell his story from a personal point of view.


This is a free event,


Please email, phone, tweet if your coming, helps us cater!

Wine cake & of course very fine music

    • So you are a ‘member’ 😳whatever that means, but also not. It’s not very clear…. But also totally transparent. Miaow 💅😂 Maybe I will, maybe I won’t 😂 What is interesting about your questions is that they suggest, as usual, that you see everything as a really basic binary opposition (cars vs bike, anti LTN vs pro-council etc). It’s not very nuanced Rocks. I don’t have great love for Southwark council as I suspect you assume. That said, neither do I have a lot of time for the apocalyptic hyperbole of those still upset over a fairly minor change to a road junction in the village, made several years ago, and which actually creates a nice public space for pedestrians and a bit more safety for kids travelling to school by bike. Ah, what the hell, let’s play…as you asked so nicely: The one that took place between May and July 2021 I don’t know much about this. It seems it was reopened though? Apparently they have the agreement of the emergency services this time, (which perhaps does suggests they didn’t consult with them properly the first time round). Of course someone (the mysterious Mr One?) believes the emergency services are being intimidated somehow (possibly by commies) so maybe Southwark still haven’t learnt their lesson? No, I don’t. Although I hear the Mysterious Mr One would like it redesigned to make things clearer. 😂 As for your ‘question 3 sub-points’ I don’t actually agree with their premise (a bit of the old ‘how often do you beat your wife’ framing going on there… slippery 😂) Anyway good luck with the referendum.   
    • I often walk past 'Kenro Press' and think it looks very sad and negleted. I wonder when it was last a viable business - tried googling it but nothing much came up Great to hear it is being brought back to life, perhaps a pity it will not be a new usefull retail premises. Lots of work needed so good luck with your renovation
    • No I don't disagree. I wasn't condoning drivers getting confused and the debate on whether refresher tests should be taken is a long one and is something probably for a Malumbu- thread!   I take it you never entered your details as someone agreeing with their sentiment but lots of Dulwich residents did and as part of that you get their email updates. So no, I have nothing to do with tje group beyond one of those two thousand dots on their website as a "member" is me!   Now, are you going to answer my questions or pretend you never saw them....p.s. we have seen this tactic before - happy to throw questions but not happy to answer some yourself...
