From South London Press (9 August 2007):
“Stunned star spotters were shocked to see mysterious lights flying above East Dulwich on Saturday, fuelling rumours of secret military experiments or visitors from the space in the area. Lawyer Richard Pringle, 33, of Peckham Rye, was walking home with his flatmate about 11.30pm when he spotted the UFOs rise above the Crystal Palace skyline.”

Afterthought;  would you hire a lawyer called Mr Pringle?

Ah the blasted glory of the CLF Weekend leaves my limbs aching, my capillaries in need of a refit, and my brains sufficiently blown my our own Cupcake’s wonderous taste in film.

ALL PRAISE!!

Too zoned by sunday to join the hijinks again, but amazing to see all yous pretty things (Mr Hoivs, Zingaro, Tempest, Daisy, Guys you know who you are) up on the microphone/down on the dancefloor/slumped in an alcoholic stupour on the street.

Let’s do that again!

See you with love and hats soon…photos of CLF madness on their way!

Yesterday afternoon I was at the CLF Weekender catching some sunny times on the roof with relaxed music from DJs and bands. Headed to Pecknam Square for a while and was amazed to find a sandy beach complete with palm trees, ensuing squeals of delight from the kids (and myself and friends *ahem*). The band Peyote for President played the stage there, they’re worth seeing (but don’t seem to have an online presence..?). Later back at the CLF I subjected the varied crowd to a range of weird and wonderful short films.

Today please do come to the WhatULookin@ exhibition and the FINAL DAY of the CLF Weekender where I will be playing tunes and showing films respectively.

You are very warmly invited to a summer exhibition… it’s called whatUlookin@ and is at The Sassoon Gallery in Peckham, 7th-12th August. It would be great if you could come and see our work - PARTICULARLY WE’D LOVE YOU TO COME TO THE FESTIVAL PARTY ON SUNDAY 12TH AUGUST 3-8PM.

It forms part of the ‘I love Peckham festival’ running that weekend, and there will be art, music, performances, magic, a BBQ and drinks… everyone is welcome to drop in!

The private view is tonight (Tuesday) 6-9pm, but Sunday is apparently the day to head down if you have the option. The flyer says there will be cupcakes - joy! More info on their myspace

Over the 10/11/12th August there will be four floors of music, film and antics in the studios behind Khan’s on Rye Lane. Bands include Ashok, The Rub, Nouvelle Croix and Zingaro and the Tempest. Mr Hovis and Paul Dark are on the DJ roster. I think I’ve agreed to screen films there but don’t know if it’ll happen for definite yet!
FREE ENTRY (although I guess donations will be expected)
