SPOTLIGHT

By Laura Burgoine

I

n the early ‘80s, the world of international travel was foreign to most. Charltonborn Martin Dunford just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

It was 1981, and he had graduated from university in Canterbury, and was teaching English in Greece. He met fellow traveller Mark Ellingham, who had been given £600 to write a Rough Guide to Greece. “There were guide books at the time,” Martin said. “Lonely Planet and Fodor’s had been around a while. I remember constructing an English lesson around the guidebooks of Thessaloniki and they were very gushy – everywhere was great, it was all glossy pictures or painstaking accounts of every stone and every pane of every stain glassed window of every church,” he continued. “It assumed you were either very interested in archaeology and art and that you never ate or drank anything, or you weren’t interested in anything but eating and drinking. Rough Guides was a natural fit for both.”

Although there was a gap in the market, Martin says the creation of Rough Guides was “much less coordinated than that.”

“Mark wrote the Rough Guide to Greece, which came out in 1982.

It was a very basic book, but very cool; I really like the look of it still,” he said. “The books were deliberately basic but they did something that no one else had done in that we wrote in a very journalistic, engaging style.”

It wasn’t an intentional career move. “We weren’t really anything,” Martin said. “I was a teacher, but I never considered myself a teacher. We were people who liked traveling and couldn’t find a job. On the other hand it wasn’t like we were desperately looking for jobs; I didn’t really want a job.”

When Martin returned to England, Mark was signing up his mates to write guide books, and the two continued writing and commissioning other writers. “Gradually, it organically became an office,” he recalled.

There was no internet, and the books were driven by passion and interest and circumstance.

“We never had a business plan of any kind,” Martin said. “It’s kind of like, if you write a book that you might like there’s a good chance that other people might like it too.”

The pick of countries came down to who they knew, rather than popularity. “We should have commissioned France but we commissioned Peru because there was a mate of Mark’s who knew everything about Peru,” Martin said. I ask what the main difference was between Lonely Planet and Rough Guides. “The writing. With Rough Guides a lot

of effort went into making them interesting to read. It made it easier for Lonely Planet to transfer to online because digital is all about nuggets, and short attention spans, but it made it that much harder for us to digitalise.”

At the time, travel was “growing

hugely,” Martin said.

“There was an upward curve. Young people travelled more. The gap year wasn’t a thing yet. It became more of a thing as travel became more of a thing,” he said. “It was much more spontaneous.

You never went to Thailand or

Goa, so if you went, you’d go for at least a month. It was a commitment. It was proper travel; now it’s a package destination.”

“There was a level of exotic quality to the world, which has sort of disappeared,” he continued. He attributes this to the lack of information at the time.

“You couldn’t just google it! You’d go through classifieds in the newspaper, or Time Out to find cheap flights. It was a different world,” he said.

Martin specialised in Europe. “I

didn’t really do far flung places; I’ve never been a big long haul traveller, so I did Amsterdam, Rome, Greece,” he said. “I went to Rome in 1985 and I loved it but now it’s a totally different place.

There’s more people. It’s more difficult to be spontaneous. If you just wanted to go into St Peter’s then you could just wander in.

Now you have to join a very long queue and go through security; it could take you like an hour just to get in.”

“In Rome that first time, I wasn’t discovering it but at times you could feel like you were discovering places that no one else knew about.”

Martin lived in north London for a long time, and then settled back in Greenwich. “I wouldn’t live in another part of London now,” he said. “I have an office in

changed from traveling abroad.

You come back with higher expectations of the service you’ll tolerate, the food you want to eat; all that revolutionised the scene here. That inspired us to say Britain is actually pretty good.”

The work takes him to British hotels a couple of times a month.

“I’ve seen a lot of boutique hotels,” he laughed. “Everything starts to look the same.”

Two years ago he went into the restaurant business with his sister Kate, and brotherin-law Reinaldo Vargas, a Latin American dancer turned paparazzo turned restaurateur.

They opened the first Buenos Aires café and deli in 2005, the Blackheath restaurant eight years ago, then the second Greenwich restaurant two years ago. “I’m a fairly peripheral character here,” Martin said. “People say ‘if I had my own restaurant I’d be down there eating every night’ but I feel slightly embarrassed when the staff are busy serving proper customers,” he said.

I ask if writing is his main passion. “I do a lot of writing. I like working with writers; that’s kind of what I’ve done in my life,” he said. “I’d say you earn less now writing a newspaper page in a travel section than ten years ago. Rough Guides was a company founded by writers, so the writers came first; we maintained a royalty system, which was great. If you wrote the guide to Paris or something you could make quite a bit of money. We didn’t get expenses or anything, and it was pretty hard work, but you did ok. Now, I don’t think that’s the case.”

Shoreditch and I cycle along the Thames and over Tower Bridge; it’s so historic, and just lovely. I love discovering new things in London.” He was, however, never tempted to write a travel guide for London. “I didn’t want to do a Rough Guide to London, because every time I walked out my front door I’d be working.”

After selling 50 percent of the company to Penguin Random House, who later acquired the rest, Martin left Rough Guides after 27 years. “We were in Penguin’s office on the Strand, trying to retain our small company culture, but it got smaller and smaller and it was frustrating as we were a very small part of the giant corporation,” he said.

With the invention of the internet, guide books went into decline.

“Guidebooks have become like

news@weekender.co.uk /

Facebook – they’re used by people aged 45 and upwards,” he said. “Travel information was very pertinent but we weren’t in the position to change ourselves into a digital company. We didn’t have the resources or support to transform ourselves. For me, travel information needs to be digital now. If you invented a travel guide company now, you wouldn’t begin it as something primarily in book form.”

While every would-be entrepreneur is trying to crack the online travel market, it’s become a tough industry. “The digital world is about niches,” Martin said. “If you want to find a restaurant, you might go to a restaurant app or site. At Rough Guides we knew about everything but you’re less likely to discover something new now. It’s hard to come up with

www.weekender.co.uk

another thing that’s classic.

Everyone is trying to do that.”

Now, Martin fills his time as co-owner of Greenwich’s Buenos Aires Café, and running his website Cool Places, which exclusively covers travel in the UK. “I started that three years ago,” he said. “Britain in the ‘80s was a place you wanted to escape from – it was mostly terrible food and unfriendly B&Bs or Fawlty Towers type hotels, but now there’s so much good food, and Britain is great for travelling in,” he said.

“Cool Places was kind of a celebration of how Britain had become a proper country that was enjoyable to travel in,” he said. “People’s expectations had

The roots of great Black British music T

he Black Cultural Archives has opened a new exhibition celebrating a century of pioneering Black British music.

Black Sound guides people through 100 years of Black British music, from the big bands like the Southern Syncopated Orchestra, who took Britain by storm in 1919, to 2016 Mercury Prize winners Skepta.

The exhibition is housed in a newly built wing of the Georgian house on Brixton’s Windrush Square, where the Black Cultural Archives (BCA) is based.

BCA Deputy Director Doreen Foster told the Weekender the exhibition is about “the journey of creative independence. It’s about the strong and the brave who maintain their right to make the music that they want to make.”

“What we’re trying to do is tell the story of how back in the 1900s there were loads of musicians and entrepreneurs who were engaging in musical enterprise, who were quite significant and powerful in that they were determining what they did and how they made their music,” Doreen said.

“Then we went through a period in the ‘80s and ‘90s where the production companies and producers became ‘the thing’ and a lot of musicians were forced to make a particular type of music,” she continued. “And so now the younger generations who are winning the Mercury prize are producing their own music without the help of any labels.”

The BCA was founded in 1981 and aims to collect, preserve, and celebrate the heritage and history of Black people in Britain. “We only have 33 cubic metres of archive space. It’s not a huge space. When we first started as an archive people would turn up with plastic bags full of stuff,” Doreen said. “But we now need to be far more strategic and so we decide what stories we want to tell based on what we have. We are trying to encourage people to maintain their own archives and to share their resources with us for future exhibitions.”

6 July 5 2017

The current exhibition has many artefacts such as old cassettes, photographs and magazines. But it’s the audio that really stands out.

The audio guide to the exhibition highlights 100 of the most iconic and pioneering British Black music hits from both male and female artists.

“Without the aid of the audio guide to take you through the exhibition it would be easy for a lot of the diversity and key references to be missed by anyone visiting the exhibition,” Doreen explained.

Touring the exhibition with the audio guide could take you between an hour and 90 minutes. There’s

a café on the ground floor of the building to refuel in, with some very rare album covers decorating the walls that came from an impressive donation.

Speaking with Doreen you get an immediate sense of the passion and enthusiasm she has for her role.

Conversations will quickly develop into new topics and before you know what’s happening you have taken a journey to a new wealth of information.

“People may not know what was happening with Black British music before the 1950s,” she said. “They might not know about the Florence

Mills Social Club. It’s now a Ben Sherman shop but 50 Carnaby Street used to be the hippest place in London. We have recently had a huge donation of hundreds of records from a collector that covers decades of Black British music.”

The BCA receives government funding but relies on public support too. “We’re always looking for volunteers. We are a very small organisation. We’ve got quite a big public programme and learning programme which does require staffing. So were always looking for volunteers whether it be front of house or helping with events and

school activities” Doreen said.

“What I want to say to these young kids who are doing great things: Please make sure that you know your history. Pay tribute to those people. Play tribute to Mr Internet and pay tribute to those who came before you.”

Black Sound is on at the Black Cultural Archive, 1 Windrush Square, SW2 1EF, from 7 April – 4 November 2017.

Open Tuesday – Saturday 10am-6pm. Admission: Free (£3 audio tour) Phone: 020 3757 8500. www.bcaheritage.org.uk

CINEMA

Window undressing I

f you’ve ever fancied an intimate evening with sex comedy star Robin Askwith, now’s your chance. The Confessions of a Window Cleaner actor, is coming to the Cinema Museum with his exwife actress Linda Hayden to personally escort film fans on a trip down memory lane.

Film historian and ‘70s specialist Darrell Buxton is interviewing the duo at the Kennington museum. Robin and Linda have been friends for 50 years and have notched up some 50 films between them, from Baby Love (1968) and Cool it Carol (1970) to an eclectic mix of sex comedy, art house, horror, musical and the downright insane (see 1976’s Queen Kong).

Their television careers have been just as varied, with appearances in most of the top sitcoms of the 1970s,

news@weekender.co.uk /

as well as drama series and playhouse productions. They’ve worked in theatres all over the world, often sharing a stage.

When I speak to Robin he’s kicking back in Devon at his girlfriend’s house; he lives in Malta and has recently been sailing around the Mediterranean. He’s also at the tail end of a solo UK tour, which began in the Cinema Museum many moons ago. “150 people showed up to that first show. This one is a peculiar one, which is what makes it interesting and slightly different,” he said. “Believe it or not, I get bored of talking about myself – I waffle on for an hour and a half in my solo shows, I have a theme, and I go off on tangents.

But this show is quite structured with an interviewer,” he said. “We came up with the idea of me and Linda because we bicker, we argue, we were married for a long time, and she’s my closest friend.

I’ve known her since I was 16 and she

www.weekender.co.uk

was 14.”

The two met as teens when Robin and his best friend were at school at Merchant Taylors’ and Linda was living in Middlesex. “I was at a posh public school, and we were rampant teenagers and used to look out of our window and watch Linda go to school,” Robin said. “I thought ‘she’s the best looking girl I’ve ever seen in my life.’

We were brought up in the same sort of environment, we knew of each other, then we really got to know each other in 1974 when we were both cast in Confessions of a Window Cleaner,” he continued. “She was cast before me.

I was very experienced, I’d made a lot of films but she had a higher profile.

She was the main female ingénue, and she was very hot in every sense of the word. I was still up and coming; she was considered a bit of a coup by Colombia to get at.”

“We didn’t become boyfriend and girlfriend until years later,” he said.

Confessions of a Window cleaner was a huge success, but Linda refused to sign a fixed contract. “She had a more serious career,” Robin said. “We worked together a lot, on Let’s Get Laid [1978], Confessions from a Holiday Camp [1977], Queen Kong [1976]. Real strange films!” he said. “And we worked a lot on stage. We did Run For Your Wife for a year in the West End, and went round the world on my world tour in the beginnings of the ‘80s; we had an absolutely great time, we were always friends.”

Linda’s been married to theatre producer Paul Elliot since 1988; the couple has two children together, whom Robin is godfather to. “My girlfriends who’ve followed haven’t been as understanding,” he said.

Throughout the night at the Cinema Museum, host Darrell is going to show

an “eclectic mix of film clips,” Robin revealed. “Linda made a lot of serious films like Baby Love, and the horror Something to Hide, and she has quite a following with those retrospective movies.”

He said this show is a one-off “mainly because Linda’s difficult to get hold of, if you’ll excuse the expression!”

Misty Moon presents An Evening With Linda Hayden and Robin Askwith at the Cinema Museum, 2 Dugard Way, SE11 4TH on Saturday 15 July at 7:30pm.

eber’s Der Freischütz is being performed at Blackheath Halls, for the first time in the UK in 18 years.

Blackheath Halls is staging four performances of the rarely performed opera Der Freischütz, sung in English under the title The Enchanted Bullets.

The last performance of Freischütz was in 1999 by the English National Opera and one of the original cast members, Andrew Greenan, is resuming his role as the Hermit in this production.

As with the ENO production, the opera will be performed in the English translation by David Pountney. Tenor Adrian Dwyer will sing the role of the forester, Max and soprano Samantha Crawford is Agatha.

The annual highlight of the venue‘s community engagement programme, the summer opera production, brings together a cast of professional and amateur musicians. The chorus also includes members of the local community and students from Greenwich and Lewisham schools.

Offering audiences a chance to hear some of the best up and coming young vocal talent from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, director Oliver Platt is joined by music director Nicholas Jenkins .

Blackheath Halls Opera is proud of its programme which leads

The community opera programme has continued to grow in popularity with audience and cast members. Last year, it marked its 10th anniversary, staging Bizet’s Carmen and Britten's Noye’s Fludde, which involved around 300 local adults and children aged between 8 and 80.

The British Oak’s garden has had two chickens presiding for three years, since the owners did the garden up. Why, you may ask? Simply to add a bit of variety, says the owner.

Main attraction aside, the garden is fairly big and there is space for about forty people to sit out there.

The owners say they aim to be more traditional, rather than gimmicky, as a pub. They have a Pieminster franchise, do live entertainment most weekends and have a weekly, Tuesday folk club which has been going for about ten years.

They’re well-known for their selection of real ales and quirky bottled beers.

Busy time of year for gardeners

J

une was one of the most fragrant months; full of flowery scents. And we have reached the summer solstice (longest day) which arrived on 21st June - daylight hours are now at maximum length. It is generally warm but there were unseasonal cool and windy spells with torrential downpours at the start of June.

Moving into July, humid conditions mean everything is growing at full speed grass needs cutting fortnightly, weeds are coming up so quickly you can almost see them growing! Regular work is needed in the garden or it is hard to keep control.

To get the best from roses a continued routine of care is needed - this depends on the types grown but there are some basic rules; to ensure strong blooms feed every three weeks through the summer, water in dry spells and deadhead regularly. Watch for pests and diseases and treat accordingly. Pruning is tricky and usually carried out in winter. Lightly trim old garden roses; for modern bush types including miniatures remove two thirds of growth before March. Treatment of modern shrub and climbing roses, ramblers and species rose also depends on the individual variety but are usually only lightly trimmed.

Honeysuckle is in flower; with its

strange segmented petals and gorgeous fragranceso noticeable on warm summer evenings. Mock orange (Philadelphus) has pure white blooms and a subtle spicy perfume. Jasmine is producing masses of little star shaped sweetly scented white flowers. Lavender is out with dense blue spikes of aromatic flowers (other colours include pale mauve, pink or white blooms). At this time of year, small round flowers with yellow filaments appear on the Lime tree (Linden) - these pack a heady and intoxicating scent around solstice time. Other notable seasonal flowers (unscented) reaching their peak are St John’s wort - recognisable by its cheerful bright yellow blooms and the showy perennial Lupin (pictured).

To slow moisture loss from the soil during the summer months a layer of mulch can be spread over flowerbeds, in window boxes and around plants grown in tubs and pots. Various materials can be used depending on the type of area Coir (peat substitute), semi rotted garden leaves or straw all help the soil retain moisture. There are also various types of mulch including bark available at garden centres (water and weed thoroughly before applying).
