Bach to the future

Is it ever too soon to educate your little ones about classical music? Not according to the organisers of Bach to Baby, a concert series aimed at tots and their grownups. Dancing and roaming around is very much encouraged at these performances, as world-class musicians play formative pieces composed by masters of the genre, including Bach and Mozart.

Tip of the ice

Wrap up warm and follow a frozen ice trail, marvelling at the 15 specially carved ice sculptures which have popped up in Canary Wharf’s Jubilee Park. It’s not merely a ‘cool’ experience, though: each sculpture represents a different endangered bird or animal to raise awareness. Pause to watch the carvers in action as they take their picks to massive frozen blocks, or have a go yourself by taking part in a free ice carving masterclass. Ice graffiti walls are also welcoming visitors to make their mark.

Throughout Canary Wharf, Canary Wharf, London E14. November 17 & 18, 12pm - 8pm; November 19, 12pm - 7pm. Admission: FREE. www.canarywharf. com/whats-on/winter-ice/

The Royal Observatory is welcoming visitors for a night of studying the stars. First, you’ll watch a planetarium show before heading up to the roof to peer through its 130-year-old Great Equatorial Telescope. Then, ask the team of astronomers any burning questions you have about all that twinkles up above. A selection of hot drinks are included in the ticket price. Suitable for ages 7+.

From the choral lilts of Tomb Raider, to the suspense-fuelled drum rolls of Batman: Arkham City, if you’re a keen video gamer, you’ll likely know the scores of your favourite games inside out. After all, they often loop on repeat while you play. Keen to perform these dramatic scores as worthy compositions in their own right is the London Video Game Orchestra (LVGO). Ahead of their upcoming concert at Woolwich Works, Holly O’Mahony spoke to Galen Woltkamp-Moon, founder of the LVGO, and James Keirle, the orchestra’s conductor and musical director, to find out more…

Meet the orchestra bringing video game soundtracks to life

Galen Woltkamp-Moon: I was always interested in film scores growing up and when I got my first games console, I became interested in video game scores too. When I first moved to London I became part of various classical orchestras and wind bands. My main desire was to play music I had more of a connection with. Video game music was the genre I really wanted to be a part of. I founded a small ensemble to play video game music and then upscaled to a 60-member symphony orchestra. The LVGO was founded as a charity with the mission to make video

game music accessible to the public through orchestral performances.

HOM: How do you go about adapting scores for your concerts?

GWM: We have three concerts per year, each with a different theme, which this time is Symphony of Heroes. We then select scores already accompanying those games and our team of arrangers or composers create specific score arrangements and medleys suitable for the orchestra. This can be a challenging process: not all video game music was written with symphony orchestras in mind. We recently adapted Street Fighter 2, which was written for an eight-voice sound card, and loved the challenge.

Holly O’Mahony: Scoring video games for live concerts is quite a niche! How did the idea for the London Video Game Orchestra first come about?

James Keirle: For every concert we seek the permission of the composer of these works before undertaking or borrowing an arrangement. As we’re a charitable orchestra, composers are often thrilled for us to perform their work especially as the arrangements are not sold and are only used for one concert. However, at times we must also contact the video game publisher to seek permission to perform the music if it’s they who own the music, not the composer.

HOM: What are some of your favourite games to have scored?

GWM: Crowd pleasers tend to be Final Fantasy or the Zelda series, but there are many amazing composers such as Yoko Shimomura, whose work includes Street Fighter 2, Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy XV. Also Jason Graves, who wrote the music for Dead Space, Until Dawn, Moss, Heroes of Might and Magic, and Tomb Raider. A personal favourite of mine would be the clever design of Octopath Traveler, composed by Yasunori Nishiki.

HOM: Any hints as to what you’ll be playing at your upcoming concert at Woolwich Works?

GWM: Audiences can expect to be wowed by the talent and the different styles of music being played. Our

orchestra

HOM:

GWM: Video game music is a relatively new genre and I would love people who felt that traditional

orchestral music wasn’t for them to come away wanting to pick up and learn an instrument. Our concerts are an excellent way to get new and experienced musicians engaged in a genre they love.

Beyond that, I hope the audience comes away wanting more!

Get your skates on

The grounds in front of the Queen’s House have been frozen over once more to become a glittering ice rink. Set against the regal backdrop of a UNESCO World Heritage site, the ice rink offers a place to slip, slide and practice your twirls this winter, while enjoying views of both the landmark house and nearby Greenwich Park. Holly O’Mahony caught up with Sophie Linin, Senior Sales and Events Manager at Royal Museums Greenwich, to find out what’s new for 2022’s skating season…

Holly O’Mahony: The Queen’s House ice rink has returned! Is there anything new for visitors to look forward to this year?

Sophie Linin: With room for up to 350 skaters, the ice rink will be open from November 17 to January 8. This year, our food and beverage offering from catering company Benugo will be more substantial and located within the skate exchange, so you can enjoy a bite to eat or a drink whilst watching the skating.

HOM: Any tips for first timers or those nervous about getting back on the ice?

SL: Have a stout heart! Ask for help from our arena staff, book a skate aid in advance, or dive in and see how you go. Whether you’re walking around the edge while clutching onto the side, or spinning

in the centre, everyone is welcome and everyone can have a good time.

HOM: In your opinion, what sets the Queen’s House ice rink apart from other London skating rinks?

SL: It has spectacular views in all directions. With the historic former royal palace Queen’s House as the backdrop, and views over the Old Royal Naval College and Canary Wharf to the north, the rink offers a range of unique photo opportunities. You can also make a day trip out of it: spend the whole day in Greenwich, visiting some of RMG’s five museums before skating as the sun sets.

HOM: Will you be running any special events over the course of the season that readers should know about?

SL: This year, we’re offering relaxed sessions for anyone who needs a calmer, less busy skating environment. We’re also offering tiny tots sessions for the little ones, where the rink will be quieter and there will be extra marshals on hand to assist.

HOM: What can visitors expect from the food and drink offering? Will there be hot drinks to warm cold fingers?

SL: Benugo’s fan favourite hot chocolate will still be available, but there will also be hot food this year.

Queen’s House, Greenwich, SE10 9NF. November 17 - January 8, sessions from 10am - 8pm. Admission: £10£16. www.rmg.co.uk/queens-house/ attractions/queens-house-ice-rink

Celebrating sea shanties

“We organised the first event last year when we realised that London was lacking a regular event celebrating this type of music,” explains Cutty Sark learning programmes manager Jo Knox. “We have always had shanty singers on board who are very popular amongst those who visit, so we thought why not invite more bands on board to explore the history and culture around traditional working songs and dedicate a whole day to the genre.”

The London Sea Shanty Collective is a confirmed headliner, promising to sing their own arrangements of traditional songs, updated to reflect modern life. Also performing are all-female group The Silver Darlings and a local primary

school who will be breathing fresh life into age-old songs.

Audience participation is very welcome, too. “The London Sea Shanty Collective will be running a short workshop to prepare visitors for the traditional sing-along that ends every Sea Shanty Festival,” Jo confirms. As for those who want to make a day of it, “The ship will be open as normal with a few extra activities to enjoy and really get you into the sailor spirit, such as knot tying, sailor games and more!”

Cutty Sark, King William Walk, London SE10 9HT. November 19, 10am - 4:30pm. Admission: FREE with entry to the ship.

The Play That Goes Right: in praise of local am-dram societies

Whether the stage is your spirit home or you’re looking for a space to unleash your creativity while making new friends, joining an amateur dramatics society could be the answer. Fortunately, there are heaps of amdram groups in Greenwich and Lewisham – and many of them are performing live this week, writes Holly O’Mahony…

“I hate to use this expression, but we produce West End shows for local prices,” says Kevin Gauntlett, a longstanding member of the West Wickham Operatic Society (WWOS) and director of the amateur company’s production of Calendar Girls, showing at Bromley’s Churchill Theatre this week.

Based on the 2003 film of the same name, itself based on a true story, the uplifting show follows a group of middle-aged women, members of a Yorkshire branch of the Women’s Institute (WI), who produce a nude calendar to raise money for Leukaemia Research, after the husband of one member dies from cancer.

“I’d seen it in the West End a couple of times and fallen in love with it,” recalls Kevin. “It was such a beautiful story as well as the lovely music from Gary Barlow. I always said to myself if it ever became available I’d try and get it, and we were very lucky to get the rights.”

Calendar Girls is one of remarkably few major shows that puts a group of mature women centrestage. “We’ve had a lot of fun doing it. The six leads who do the photoshoot at the end are members who have been with us for years,” says Kevin.

WWOS has been around for 85 years and Calendar Girls is the 40th show Kevin has directed for the company. The society rehearses throughout the year at Wickham Theatre Centre in West Wickham, performing two shows a year at Bromley’s Churchill Theatre.

“We’re the only company that has been there since the beginning,” says Kevin, proudly. The theatre opened in 1977 and WWOS began performing there in 1978.

With its shows running in the theatre’s main space, WWOS is under as much pressure as a touring professional theatre company to make up the money spent on the production through ticket sales.

“We sell a lot of tickets to friends and family, but the public also come. We hope we sell shows on our reputation, too,” says Kevin.

There’s no money in amateur dramatics. The reward, for members, is the sense of fulfilment and community that comes from being a part of a company.

“You build up a lot of friendships, it’s like one big family,” says Kevin.

The company meets up two or three times a week, usually on evenings or weekends to fit around work and other commitments. “It’s a hobby,” Kevin affirms. As such, “you can’t be too strict. You’ve got to make the rehearsals as fun as the production itself,” he reasons. Still, despite not being a professional outfit, attending rehearsals is mandatory for those taking part in the show. “If you’ve got passion for it, you find the time, don’t you?”

WWOS welcomes fresh talent. “We’re always looking for new members, both on and backstage,” insists Kevin. “We put something out on our website and on social media [before we start working on] each show with details of how people can join. It’s not a big audition, it’s seeing if the company is a good fit for you.”

Five am-dram and student performances to catch in Greenwich and Lewisham this week…

Calendar Girls

West Wickham Operatic Society (WWOS) takes on the much-loved true story of a group of Yorkshire women who pose for a tasteful nude calendar to raise money in aid of tackling cancer. With songs written by Take That’s Gary Barlow and a witty script by Tim Firth, this crowd-pleasing show will see you laugh and cry in equal measure.

Churchill Theatre, High Street, Bromley BR1 1HA. November 15 - 19, 7:30pm with additional 2:30pm matinees on Tuesday and Saturday. Admission: £24. www.churchilltheatre.co.uk/Online/ tickets-calendar-girls-wwos-bromley-2022

Harveys’ vast ambition

I remain impressed by Harveys and the scale of their operation. In the 1950s they were clearly still bringing out some very amazing and important things. Last week I ended with the GPO’s Antenna No1. at Goonhilly receiving station – and that huge parabolic bowl is a very impressive thing to manufacture and on such a prestige project. Also there were also these huge distillation columns which were made for oil refineries all over the world. I am certain that

I don’t know about more than a tiny fraction of what they produced –most of what I do know comes from their advertisements and some reminiscences from former workers. There was probably much more.

I’ve looked at some of the things which they advertised later in the 1950s and 1960s. Some of it is just day-to-day things. For example there are a number of advertisements for devices for dust collection. They

say that ‘air pollution is at last recognised as a deadly serious problem’ and without clean air mankind cannot survive … more stringent laws are emerging … industry is the target’. They have a range of devices from Torit - this is an American system which Harvey either developed or bought into for a comprehensive range of the finest dust collectors in this country’.

For instance they supplied ‘cabinet type dust collectors which filter all dust from grinding wheels and metal dust which includes sub micron size particles’. These cabinets were portable and didn’t need ‘long duct runs’. Harveys say that they would do away with the need for masks ‘as the dust is prevented from reaching their breathing areas’.

They also advertised special ‘down draft benches … which provide dust collection for polishing, sanding, grinding and snagging’. They said that with this system ‘the bench, not the worker, inhales the dust’. The advertising leaflet I had included a handy little packet of sample dust to show what they could collect.

They also made Cyclone dust collectors ‘for chippings, shavings and sawdust’. Then there were swing arc fume exhausters which protected workers from ‘toxic fumes, smoke and gases which arise during welding’ and thus protect

You must be thinking that I will never finish writing articles about Harveys. This will be article No.4 and I’ve never written up one of these local companies before which has run to 4 episodes. However, I thought I needed to do one more article to say what happened to them and their huge factory in the Woolwich Road. Although trying to work out where they went and what happened to them has been a bit of a marathon.
„ Apprentice schoool 1952

from ‘lead poisoning, zinc chills and other respiratory diseases’. Along with this work was a parallel production of fork lift trucks.

They also continued to make large and impressive items. I have a note that in 1963, for instance, they made a 500 ton stroking press. It had a stroke of 3 ft 6ins and they had the facilities to make it all in their own workshops. There was a 100ft column for the Mobil Oil Refinery at Coryton and 70 ton boiler drums for the Komati Power Station in South Africa. In advertisements at around the same time they describe how they made all the components and various items needed to run and operate tenpin bowling alleys.

The items including perforations continued to be made and another advert from the 1960s describes equipment and coverings provided for the Royal Tehran Hilton Hotel where they installed metal perforated panels and anodised aluminium (pattern no.954) to drawer fronts and luggage areas in the bedrooms; to the counter front of the reception area, cloak rooms and in passenger lift doors.

They advertise that they worked in sheet and plate steel and wire making heavy equipment for the petroleum and chemical industries and at the other extreme woven wire mesh ‘with 40,000 apertures to the square inch’.

They state how much they are looking forward to joining the Common Market for increased business.

Every year they processed 25,000 tons of steel plate plus 700 tons of zinc, copper, brass and other nonferrous metals. They were however gradually producing more and more office furniture and equipped the whole new Daily Mirror building in London with it.

Throughout the 1950s there are constant advertisements for a huge numbers of workers needed in Greenwich. Many of these are posted in Irish local papers and particularly in Belfast. They include information on the pension scheme and the sports club as attractions.

Harveys ran apprenticeship schemes. An ex apprentice described joining the firm as a technician apprentice in 1968 ‘ when I was sixteen. I spent my first year in the 3rd floor training school along with around 50 other apprentices learning the basic engineering disciplines such as fitting, turning, welding, sheet metalwork, electrician, etc and remember doing the first aid course. The next 4 years were a tour of the various departments such as Maintenance, Sheet metal (light cons), heavy cons, APW tool room, APW drawing office, office furniture production control and office furniture Drawing office, heavy cons drawing office and many more - it was a wonderful learning experience’.

Commemorating the local Armed Forces in Royal Greenwich

We are proud to be home to the second largest armed forces community in London. On Friday 11 November, we re-signed the nationally recognised Armed Forces Covenant. Re-signing the covenant not only strengthens the already rich ties we have with the military but acts as a reminder of their honourable presence in our borough.

The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly. Supporting the covenant means that as a borough we continue to make sure no member of the armed forces community should face disadvantage when accessing local services.

Over remembrance weekend, wreath laying events were hosted at memorials

Watch this space: 352 homes

in Woolwich for people on the housing

waiting list

Work has started on a 766-home housing regeneration project in Woolwich, which includes 352 homes to be made available at affordable rents to local people on the Council’s housing waiting list.

The new developments, Trinity Park and Trinity Rise, will also offer 76 shared ownership homes, with the remaining 338 properties for private sale.

Sustainable technologies like air source heat pumps and solar panels will help reduce environmental impact and running costs, and one in ten of the homes will be wheelchair adapted.

All will meet or exceed the Nationally

Described Space Standards and there are a high number of family houses being built, which is good news as these are in high demand.

Trinity Park and Trinity Rise will take six years to complete, and once finished the homes will be available via Choice Based Lettings.
