Dear Friends,
Last
week we have seen an amazing response to the Outsiders Open Mic, at the
Wentworth-Stanley Hall, in the historical St Clements Hospital grounds.
We mostly enjoyed the mingling and socialising in
such unusual location: entertainment by amusing artists, with the
brilliant Jazzman John Clarke and John Stiles that compered two
different performing areas.
The success of
the open mic was achieved by an highly participating audience and a
variety of performances. There was music, poetry, comedy and a fine,
improvised dance piece accompanied by a violinist. We appreciated the
courage of some of the people that performed in front of an audience for
the very first time; the bravery of two sweet young sisters (age 5-6?)
that shared their poem, and the very valuable story Myra Garrett told us
about the origins of the Social Club back in the 80s, when Myra started
it with a group of colleagues.
At the end of the evening we all felt like we had finished and enjoyed the whole cake, cherry included.
Instead we were unexpectedly offered seconds, the following day.
So here we are announcing a second Outsider event to take place on the closing day of the Shuffle Festival
(www.
We kindly thank Kate McTiernan and the ELCLT (East London Community Land Trust) for making this happen.
At
stake there is the chance for part of St Clements grounds to remain an
accessible space for the local community, avoiding ironing out the
history and beauty of the site.
A nice article in regards here: blogs.guggenheim.
The collection for David Kessel, launched at the Open Mic is now on sale.
"Ravaged Wonderful Earth" is a precious volume with a beautiful and colourful cover by John Zammit. Let us know if you wish to buy a copy £5/3 conc.
Please, share photos/films if collected any on the night.
