Angels at the East Dulwich Tavern, March 29
Richard Leeming from the BBC showed the way forward with an idea he has been hatching with Heather Davies about a new podcast for Peckham and Dulwich. It is proposed to have mainstream material, which might include interviews with MPs, art discussions, food topics and so on. It has a name and a blank website: HERE BE ANGELS, after Blake's vision in Peckham. He can set the thing up but needs input for audio material, including jingles and 'idents', and from designers, for logos etc. And he needs people to keep it going (no money, of course). Sarah Jane Griffiths, who also works for BBC Radio, was seriously interested. Journalist Daryll Chamberlain, another new and welcome Groucher, from Charlton, who has a blog called 853 about the Greenwich area, was also interested. Rhian Wheeler and Malcolm Young came to hear, too. And with Les Burton, Chris Clack, Lousie Murray and another new Groucher, science writer Carolyn Fry, we all managed to sit outside till late.
Spring is here.
Dates:
Thursday, March 31: Grouchos are all invited to look at the Old Waiting Room at Peckham Station, for a "Celebration of Peckham's Historic Architecture". There will be talks about the development of Peckham. 6–9pm
• Saturday April 2 at the Old Nun's Head.The Fat Arthur Band's evening of punk-curcus-lounge-funk, 8pm till late, featuring Groucher Hugo Simms on the theramin.
NEXT GROUCHO: I need to skip a week, so it will be on Wednesday, April 20 at the Crown and Greyhound in Dulwich.
