Live: Citizen Helene, O. Chapman

DJ: Fred Posts - Post War Years

Plus: Digging The City - a talk on Urban Farming

Citizen Helene

We are honoured that Citizen Helene is coming to headline for us, a London-based singer, songwriter and guitarist from Dorset whose blend of sunshine pop, psychedelic folk and jazz has been described as ‘baroque and beautiful’ by Darian Sahanaja (the Brian Wilson Band).

Taking influence from the matrons of 60’s folk pop, Helene has been likened to Margo Guryan, Karen Carpenter and Joni Mitchell with English sensibilities, combining plaintive acoustic guitar with lush Beach Boys harmonies.

Rather than us rant on about how amazing she is, take a listen here, if you don’t know Citizen Helene, this is guaranteed to delight you.

O Chapman

O Chapman supported The Wave Pictures earlier this year and has just announced that he’s playing this year’s Hop Farm Festival, and deservedly so!! If you don’t know his music, I think that introduction will make you understand how utterly excited we are that he’s going to come and play for us, his music and vocals are a delicate, mesmerising beauty. Sit down, make yourself comfortable, and listen…..there, see what we mean?

Frenz with Benefits!

This month we’re ‘Digging the City’ we hope you are too!?

Food from the Sky are joining us to talk about farming in the city, it’s easy, from windowsills herb gardens, to getting involved with a community garden, there are so many options available, just open your minds and we can all be Urban Growers. Not only do you know exactly where your food is coming from, Urban Growing lessens excessive food packaging, reduces air miles, gets you outdoors, is good exercise, makes the city look prettier, saves you cash, encourages creative upcycling, heightens your awareness of the seasons and the city around you and tastes so much better than shop bought veg. And that’s just the veg side, you can grow (and eat some!) flowers too, brightening up the urban landscape and helping lots of wildlife. Urban Farming is the perfect escapist oasis if you’re feeling trapped in the rat race!

FOOD from the SKY is a world first – A pioneering Permaculture food growing and educational initiative on the roof top of Thornton’s Budgens supermarket, Crouch End. 'A new template for our future'. They grow fresh vegetables, herbs and fruits to organic standard that are harvested and sold 10 meters below to the Thorntons Budgens supermarket. 10 meters from Soil to Shelf!
