Peckham Peculiar, Dulwich, too


Check out events at The Ivy House, the successful community-owned pub that's always worth dropping in on.

Meanwhile the railways continue their advance on Peckham Rye station. 
"You are just the kind of business we want,"they tell the Peckham Refreshment Room, which employs local people and brings in lots of customers. So they are going to tear down their '30s building and drive them away. Keep up with events via Peckham Vision, and head for the meeting at the Peckham Academy, Peckham Road on Wednesday Feb 12, 7pm.

Hockney: Printmaker is on at Dulwich Picture Gallery till May 11. The excellent catalogue was designed by Nigel Soper. 
 'Artist and Model' (1973-4, detail), etching by David Hockney

The Bigger Picture is showing The Guard (2011) at 8pm on Thursday February 20 upstairs at the East Dulwich Tavern

Hylda Sims's Bay City Ramblers Revival skiffle band will be appearing on the Fourth Friday (28 February) at the Poetry Cafe, with poetry from Katherine Gallagher and David Floyd. Her novel, Peckham in Person, should be out late March in paperback. 

I am giving a talk on self-publishing at Peckham Library on March 5. It's part of Awaken Words run by Southwark Arts Forum, which handed me their Literary Award last year for Father Thames. I would like to get in touch with anyone with experience of self-publishing with stories to tell, both about getting into print or eBook, and those with experience of trying to sell to bookshops and elsewhere.
