Central Hornsey Allotments and Horticultural Annual Show
The CHADAHS* Show is one of the largest and most vibrant in London, so
we hope you will visit. It's in its 67th year - an amazing record.
The Show is at the Moravian Church Hall on Priory Road, N8 7HR (near
the corner with Redston Road), from 2.30 to 4.30 pm. Entry is by
donation.
There will be displays of prize-winning fruit, vegetables, flowers,
preserves and home-baking of all kinds, and art. You can buy many of
the exhibits at the end of Show auction (from about 3.45pm), and there
will be stalls in the garden selling produce grown on the allotments
and made at home, along with crafts. As always, we will have our café
with lovely home-made cakes and other items.
Do come to Hornsey's 'village' show!
(* CHADAHS is Central Hornsey And District Allotments and Horticultural Society)

Yard sale on Albert Road. This is a brilliant idea and I might join in, seeing as I live nearby and have quite a bit of stuff it would be good to find new homes for....

Our monthly gardening session this Saturday (3rd September) will take place at The Triangle Beds on Palace Gates Road at 11.00 a.m.
Despite our attempts to keep the beds watered, the high temperatures and lack of rain over the last few weeks has had an impact.
Our main focus will be removing withered flowers and shrubs - it's too early for autumn/winter planting. Also we will need to cut back some of the larger shrubs that appear to have thrived in the dry conditions.
Hopefully you have had a lovely summer and can join us on Saturday.
Friends of Alexandra Park presents:
London Metropolitan Brass Training Band in The Grove

Hope to see the purple Trombone again.
Use the time to pop in to our Park Information Centre nearby (open 2pm to 4pm).

Our ward councillors have organised a meeting with the Council Cabinet Member for Environment at the Civic Centre on Tuesday evening from 6.00-7.30pm in committee rooms 1&2 to talk about what happened to the CPZ extensions plans, so if you have any concerns about the consultation which was done, or about parking in that area there's a chance to find out about it.
Just received this email from Kevin Stanfield, chair of the Palace Gates Residents Association:
We understand that a meeting has been arranged by Haringey Council on Tuesday 16th August to inform residents’ about the recent decision /consultation regarding the Controlled Parking Zone in our area. The meeting will be hosted by Cllr Peray Ahmet
The meeting is taking place at the Civic Centre between 6.00-7.30pm in committee rooms 1&2
Local resident Michael Solomon Williams has organised a vast collaboration, inspired by people asking for a creative response to the referendum on June 23rd.
Tuesday the 2nd of August is the main concert and recording, at 8pm at the Union Chapel.
The line-up for Tuesday is impressive, and involvement beyond that (e.g. Joyce DiDonato, Jacob Collier, Snarky Puppy and primarily hundreds of singers and players around the world) is equally inspiring.
All funds raised will go to three charities: Musicians without Borders, Amnesty International and Music Action International. Tickets are going fast, but there are still lots available. Michael says there's a bit of singing for the audience too, and you'll get to be in a spectacular video. It's extremely good value meanwhile for an incredible line-up of artists. And the sound of 200+ singers, 8 choirs in the round in the Union Chapel acoustic...
Advance tickets are cheapest, so snap yours up from:

Karamel Music Festival - Celebrating Musical Diversity, tonight we bring you Kevin Fitzsimmons Quartet ft Leon Greening
Wednesday 17th August 2016
Kevin Fitzsimmons – vocals
Leon Greening – keys
Matt Fishwick – drums
Adam King – bass
Long a fan of Mark Murphy and Mel Tormé, London-born Kevin Fitzsimmons is one of most individual male jazz voices to emerge on the UK jazz scene in recent times and already forging a reputation as a charismatic presence and lyricist/songwriter of quality. His current album was released to critical acclaim and he has sold-out with his band at numerous venues around the UK including many times at Ronnie Scott’s, has several jazz festival appearances under his belt, a concert aired on Jazz FM and has sang at Birdland Jazz Club, NYC.
His distinctive vocals have featured in several TV and radio commercials in UK/Europe and, running alongside his career on the jazz scene, he also fronts a touring Big Band concert about Sinatra’s golden period on the Capitol label.
Fitzsimmons’ unstoppably swinging band – described by Jazzwise as “the cream of UK straight-ahead jazz musicians” – keep the audience on the edge of their seats: award-winning pianist Leon Greening (headliner at festivals including Ronnie Scott’s International Piano Trio Festival – “Catch him when you can” says Jazz Journal International); upcoming bassist Adam King (2015 ‘Young Jazz Musician Of The Year’) and respected jazz drummer Matt Fishwick(“Outstanding” – Jazzwise).
Expect a vibrant programme full of taste and verve, featuring sassy new versions of standards by the likes of Mercer, Jobim, Ellington, Legrand, Porter, alongside new jazz arrangements of classic pop/soul recordings – including The Beatles, Sam Cooke, Billy Preston, Paul Weller – and one or two original compositions (including songs co-written by Fitzsimmons with Jools Holland and UK sax great, Derek Nash) all in the space of a relentlessly entertaining set.
“Lovers of jazz vocal mainstream have another star to follow” (Jazzwise)
“Unique interpretations, superb presence, a brilliant gig” (Moreopinions’ Blog at Jazznights)
“Talent, originality, has that rare vocal skill of total control of all he does”(Grapevine Magazine)
“A thoroughbred jazz singer” (Marlbank)
