I'm pretty sure it's the same one Saint Etienne have used in the past.

As posted previously, two of us are meeting on Wednesday 16th at 10:30 in Mon Petit chou for a coffee. Anyone else is welcome. I'm guessing that this time of day is not easy for most, so any suggestions as to a venue and a time for another occasion , please feel free.

OpenLab - Sunday Feb 27 @ The Others, 6-8 Manor Road London N16 5SA (Stoke Newington).


My mate Rob runs an experimental music night every few weeks, normally around Shoreditch area. Alex I mentioned this to you privately and was going to PM you again, however after talking to Rob he's happy for me to spread the word. These guys make experimental music in the technical sense of the word, they often combine with visuals and, personally, my first few visits were 'educational', given my grounding in more 'conventional' genres of music.


You have to go and watch/listen and make up your own mind I think...


One thing's for sure these guys are really into their thing, which in itself I like to see.


The gig details are found here:

www.pawfal.org/openlab/


If you want to participate / do a spot showingoff your thing, contact him, everyone is welcome form my experience.

Hi all,


Is anyone interested in a second meeting next week? Time and location is flexible, but 10:30 on wednesday in Mon Petit Chou worked well last time. Also, we were thinking it might be interesting to get audio visual people involved, as we are thinking about about trying to put an event on. All welcome.

Wot, you mean like Brian Eno? ;-)


I met up with Alex last time and we had a good chat. Mainly trying to establish common ground, etc.


Come along and get involved and we could actually try and make something happen. Coffee damn fine too.


Here's some stuff of mine

Yes please guys, put an experimental event on in ED tho! It's what the music scene lacks here. I could also help you with but although at present I am far too busy ...if you like contact me for support, advise and everything else!

Best luck

I'll second the thanks, Klarita. That's very generous ;-)


I urge anyone else who is seriously (or not!) interested in this idea to get together with us on a social night as we try and build some momentum together. As it was, we had a good, if suitably minimal night.


Check out Klarita's site. Some good artists on there.

Hi again,


Anyone up for some drinks next week? I'm proposing Monday night around 8:30pm, but if you want to come and can't make that time, then please suggest something that suits you and we can then all try to find something mutually convenient.


Don't be scared - we're not geeks or gear snobs. You just need to have an open mind!

Hi,


In case anyone fancies coming along, I'm 'performing' an installation piece on Thursday 19th May at 7pm as part of a concert at the London College of Music,

Vestry Hall, Ranelagh Road, W5 5RF (nearest tube South Ealing). As far as I know, entry is free.

      I-watch found

      By Yan52 · Posted

      I was sitting on the park bench yesterday opposite north Dulwich station and found an Apple Watch hanging off the corner. I have brought it home and charged it hoping that someone might use ‘find my’ to locate it. Equally happy to be contacted this way to return it to the rightful lender / they just need to say what colour/kind of strap it has. If you can think of a better way to return it / find its owner then please advise. And/or feel free to share on other local fora.

      Up the reform

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      Precisely DR it’s entirely understandable to conclude one is so disillusioned by Labour for Tories, it must be time for someone else  That  is an entirely reasonable position But if the next step is to then transfer your vote to a party full of charlatans, snake oil salespeople and racists? Then  you stop being reasonable and start being thick and/or racist i understood why Tories took power in 2010. I feared it was an error but I wasn’t castigating people who voted for them tories (then, not now) and Labour are hamstrung not by civil service or EU but by a weird media and a weird voting system in an age of social media.  The answers don’t seem to be coming from them yet but voting reform will only damage the country internationally and internally  the Tories may yet regain power but are currently led by a madwoman, with a madman positioning himself to take over. Will take years for them to sort themselves out labour are making errors all over the shop but are at least in the ballpark of sane governanc.  In no way should this give them a free pass but in 2025 there genuinely isn’t anyone better  (and current polling for reform is meaningless - in any general election be it 4 years or 4 months their lack of accountability and standards will become all too clear)

      Cox's Walk new bridge damaged!

      > Or else it's a relatively thin trunk? Or a rather thick old trunk, covered in leaf growth?  Look at the damage caused to the end and right hand railings.  NewWave, any chance  of loading your neighbour's photo here?   Or anyone else with some good focused photos, from various viewpoints if possible?
