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,

    • If you "cotton on" and read the council announcement, it clearly states "The library will be closed from 17 November until late June or early July 2026."  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/2025/dulwich-library-closing-refurbishment
    • I’ve been seeing Lisa at goose green clinic for energy work for a year now.  Lisa is kind, caring and hugely supportive. She is wonderfully masterful and trained as a reiki master for 20 plus years. Alongside other energy work.  My time spent with her is like therapy. An emotional safe space for deep conversations and reflection followed by relaxing and energising healing work.  each experience I’ve had has been different, the end result remains the same. Feel lighter, almost euphoric and almost float home. Definitely an experience not to be missed.  https://www.goosegreenclinic.net/therapies/healing-energy-work/
    • Went there once and were not impressed when they charged £9 for one pot of Chinese tea for 2 people. 
    • What nobody has cotton onto is that Dulwich library will not be available possibly for the Council Elections in May 26. Looks as though Southwark are not confident that the work will be completed by May 26 and are scouting around to find alternative venues.
