Alasdair, from central Scotland and now based in Glasgow, is a highly unique and singular talent who has, since 2001, released many albums of traditional material and songs of his own. He is incredibly prolific and a keen collaborator with a thoroughly open and forward-thinking approach. His collaborative work has seen him recently team up with the Norwegian band Volvur. He has also recorded and performed as part of a trio with Amble Skuse and David McGuinness and for several years been a member of The Furrow Collective with Rachel Newton, Lucy Farrell, and Emily Portman. His songs contain dense wordplay and his voice and guitar style are completely distinctive and individual. His solo performances are spellbinding experiences!

Bird Radio (AKA Mikey Kirkpatrick) is a singer, flautist, and composer based in London. He experiments with songwriting, extended flute technique, live looping and performance in different ways, collaborating with a wide range of artists and texts - recently he has worked with setting poetry by Walter de la Mare, Ted Hughes (his most recent album CROW was released in June 2019) and London?s Soho poet Jeremy Reed, and collaborated with artists such as Pig7 (electronics and field recordings), Akinori Fujimoto (Japanese Taiko), Nawroz Oramari (Kurdish Folk), Mosaic Band (traditional Sufi Music), John Bently (poet, singer, book artist and performer) and Emmanuel Lorien (experimental improv, Max MSP and granular synthesis).?

Buckner Building are Naomi Graham and Fritha Jenkins. They lead your ears to places not always easily located. Using violin, recorders, vocals and field recordings they make music that has been described as ?unsettling alternative folk? ? shifting between fragments of recognised traditional songs and disruptive contemporary interventions. They are drawn to the macabre, the melancholic, the outsider, tales of madness, upset, and life on the periphery.

They have performed as a duo in venues and festivals across the UK since 2010 and have performed and toured internationally in their individual careers.

      Local Carpenter - Langley Carpentry

      By karbar · Posted

      We worked with Eliot recently to get two sets of shelves built. He was excellent! Really high quality craftsmanship, communicative and lovely - I’d recommend Langley Carpentry in a heartbeat.

      18th Birthday Venue needed

      By Jellybeanz · Posted

      How about trying the upstairs of some local pubs like EDT? They prob won't stay open until wee small hours but worth a try... or night at Rivoli Ballroom Catford (too old?!) or somewhere up in town for drinks rather than hiring somewhere.

      Burglary Lacon Road

      By Jellybeanz · Posted

      Sadly crime does seem to be going up in terms of opportunists and street crime / bike thefts etc. Lack of CCTV in this area means it's more of a target than some neighbouring areas according to police (when they sent victim support round after our car had its catalytic converter stolen twice in 6 months by organised gang complete with balaclavas, iron bars and a chainsaw.. driving a 4x4). Crime still relatively low by some parts of London standards but a worrying trend if burglars are trying their luck when people are actually home. Wonder what local police/ MP thoughts are in terms of whether they could organise more community policing patrols. I read a woman was punched in the face on/near Lordship Lane in an unprovoked attack a week or two ago. Terrifying.

      Recommending 'Affordable Shutters'

      By Jellybeanz · Posted

      We had shutters and roller blind supplied and fitted by Affordable Shutters when we first moved into our house in 2012 and highly recommend them. One of the poles and a couple of shutter staples recently came loose and they scheduled in a visit when they were in the area at no charge. Lovely customer service, great quality, honestly cannot fault their service (shutters are made to measure so you have to wait but they're worth waiting for). https://affordableshutters.co.uk/
