APN summer gathering 15th July

Having re-scheduled the event once already due to the Euros, we did think we would de-camp to the pub if the weather became too challenging. In the end, we sheltered under the wonderful huge tree on the Triangle and conversation flowed despite the rain. It was one of those strange dark summer evenings we…

Alterations (no significant tailoring required)

Anyone local do garment alterations or know someone who does? I've a very simple but eleventh-hour job to be done. Can bring trousers over as soon as you're ready and pay in advance if it helps. Live Alexandra Park and though best if local can pedal wherever soonest...+ Have other similar jobs to follow (though none urgent).Alternatively, borrowing a swing machine may suffice - for use at yours or mine (near AP station)email: tessa.thomas@btinternet.com / mobile 07796 942281Thank you!

Posted by Susie Holden on October 29, 2022 at 4:06pm

Yesterday afternoon I went to the Estorick Collection in Canonbury Square, just a few minutes walk from Highbury and Islington station. It is a lovely place to visit and has six galleries over three floors plus a cafe with tables in a quiet garden area. The Estorick Collection is housed in a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse overlooking Canonbury Square, and it opened in 1998 with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund. There…

Friday nite at the ArtsFest - intriguing cabaret

Posted by Alex King on September 3, 2022 at 11:17am

Yesterday evening at the All Good Bookshop - artists making evocative sounds with strange instruments, film, poetry and story-telling. The idea - described by our MC and theremin (what?) player - came from the outrageous Cabaret Voltaire: Zurich 1916, where artists got together to work out what they should still say while the world burned in the First World War. The question remains relevant.

The acts used projections, music and words in various combinations which are not easy to…
