(Above: Led Bib)
Led Bib should be a pop band. They have those strong individual looks of bands that I used to pull out of Smash Hits when I was younger. The exotic looking one, the young looking one, the smouldering one, the bad ass, the kind of goofy but really he’s the cutest one. Ahem, [...]

Isn’t it amazing…

…how many interesting – and by interesting I mean really interesting – things we have been near to in our lives without even realising it? We walk past rare ming vases behind closed doors and we trudge over Roman coins beneath pavements – we do this all the time, but there is no way of [...]

‘EDF Substation’: the term brings to mind brick structures, on the side of a rail track or a sullen piece of derelict land; something belonging to the same category as the hatches we walk over on the pavement – things we don’t really notice or think about as we go about our business. “Secure structures [...]
Well I heard it on the online forum

I moved to East Dulwich in 1988, at the precipitous age of 11. In those days, depending on where you were standing, the area was either a poor cousin to the dreaming mansions of Dulwich Village, or a rich aunt to the hulking estates of Peckham. But it had a homely charm, and there was [...]
What would you do?

If I wasn’t sat behind this desk right now i’d quite like to be riding a horse through Jordan. Or maybe watching polar bear cubs paw each other on the ice. I could hold a tea party for my favourite art teachers – if I could track them down. Or maybe I could just [...]

Glasswerks presents:
Richard Godwin
Wednesday 2nd April at Tommy Flynn’s, 55 Camden High Street, NW1
Doors 7.30pm (on stage 9.30pm)
A startlingly original voice, capable of provoking hilarity, bliss and/or abject terror in audiences, Richard Godwin will make an unusual mark in 2008. Most often compared to an English Jacques Brel, he has developed a confrontational, dramatic performing style, [...]

“Black pepper?”

I noticed something strange about the restaurants in Venice. Not once did a waiter offer to grind some black pepper onto my food for me. There would be a mill on my table, and I would just grind the pepper myself. No awkward moment, no need for an overlong polite smile: it felt great.
Sooner or [...]
