SPOTLIGHT

By Nicky Sweetland

Married to the folk mob

O

ther boroughs have begun to envy the live music scene in this area in recent years and that’s in no small part down to a dedicated group of performers who have been bringing regular infusions of funky folk sounds to venues across Greenwich.

Folk Mob was established in Woolwich over 20 years ago and has continued to invest in the procurement of live music in Greenwich ever since. The group, which meet weekly at Blackheath Rugby Club, has inspired hundreds of would be singers-songwriters to pursue a career in music.

Dave Kenningham first created the club with a few friends and for many years they called the Crown and Cushion in Woolwich home. But after the pub was demolished and they spent a ten-year residency at The Tudor Barn, Folk Mob found its way to Blackheath Rugby, which is here they now meet every Wednesday evening.

The friendly bunch welcomes a diverse group of musicians to perform acoustically and I popped along to find out for myself, just what Folk Mob is all about.

Organisers, Dave Kennington and Zahira joined me for a chat as the other members of the group set up their instruments and it was lovely to talk to a pair, who are so interested in making this type of performance accessible to all.

Dave told me, “We embrace all types of music and all aptitudes. I’ve seen a lot of people come here as beginners, who have gone on to play as groups in other places and release albums.”

Zahira added, “It’s a nice place to start because we’re friendly.”

But they are also very keen to add that the type of music people are encouraged to play isn’t just from one genre. Zahira explains, “The word folk is quite a loose term. We do get a lot of traditional folk music but it’s really an acoustic music club. We have people doing punk, which acoustically sounds quite folky these days.”

The format of the group is really quite simple. All you need to do is turn up and Zahira tells me, “We have a sing around, so we pass the stick. If you get given the stick, you can either choose to do something, or you can pass it on. If you’re a nervous

4 February 21 2018

'We do get a lot of traditional folk music, but it's really an acoustic music club' performer you might not want to do it to start with.”

Dave interjects and says, “It follows on from a lot of traditional sing arounds where you sit in a circle and go one after the other and do a song or just listen.”

And after we head into the function room, I start to

understand what they mean.

I’m first treated to a beautiful song performed by a chap with just a guitar before he passes the stick to D-day veteran Jim Radford, a regular member since the Woolwich days, who enriched my experience with a chilling rendition of the Robbie Burns standard “Green Grow

the Rashes”. It was then Zahira’s turn to take the stick and I was enthralled by just how fabulous a performer she is. Dave then struck up his guitar with the John Denver classic “Leaving on a Jet Plane” and I was able to nervously sing along.

The group don’t just limit themselves to acoustic

performances either, as once a month they run an open mic event, where you are able to go along and sing your heart out with a bit of amplification.

And they have been ‘instrumental’, along with Eltham Arts, in establishing Passey Place as a hub for live music during the summer. This year

Introducing they are also again involved in the song challenge, a now annual event, which sees local songwriters submitting their material to be performed in public and recorded as part of a community project. The 2018 song challenge is in conjunction with Eltham Arts’ multimedia Wall project and will reach

fruition at a live event in July.

Greenwich's first Yoga and Vegan Festival Photo by JPF Creatieve Werken

Photos by Andrew Prod

P

romising a day full of mindfulness, the festival is hosting 60 yoga and meditation sessions, over 50 stalls, activities for children, talks on mental health, and Bollywood dancing.

“It’s a day of total yoga and meditation immersion,” Yogific founder Kriti told the Weekender.

Yogific runs 12 festivals a year in the UK, Ireland, and Poland. “We travel every weekend; we used to live in London but now we move around with the festivals. Right now we’re living in Poland,” Kriti said.

“We do a lot of talks and workshops addressing issues, particularly depression anxiety, which is so widespread in the UK,” Kritis said. “We’re holding a very important segment on mental

8 February 21 2018

health which we, tried out at a festival in Kingston.”

“People need it. It’s so amazing, just by talking about mental health it helps.”

The festival includes “every kind of yoga you can imagine.”

Kriti’s favourite kind is hatha.

“It’s very authentic,” she says. A range of meditation and Buddhist meditation is being taught, with a room for express 30-minute meditation sessions.

“We have amazing stall holders, some are local businesses based in Greenwich and the south east, and they’re selling vegan food, and raw vegan cakes made from nuts.”

Around 30 local yoga teachers are going to teach the classes, and over 8,000 people have expressed interested in attending the festival on the Facebook page.

"It seems like Greenwich Yoga and Vegan Festival is going to be our biggest event to date. We have collaborated with many local yoga teachers and vegan businesses to build a vegan Yogi community,” Kriti said.

Yogific has a core team, and expands on tour. “We travel together, then we make a team wherever we go. People just resonate with what we’re doing,” she said.

“We are thankful to Corelli College for letting use a lot of space in their college.”

Born in India, Kriti has been practising yoga since she was six years old. “It was very normal to do yoga at home, in parks.

There weren’t yoga studios but there were schools. I studied at an after-school place and it was

very strict. We did exams, and you were taught by a guru who wasn’t money minded at all –they just wanted you to do really good yoga,” she said. “I quit when I was 14 because it wasn’t cool but started again at 24.”

There’s no question about yoga being cool now. “The thing with Indians, and maybe other Asian countries as well, we always copy the west because we need their validation.”

“The festivals are always such an amazing day. It attracts a good energy,” Kriti says. “This festival is a celebration of love, compassion, and well-being. We are grateful to Corelli College for their incredible support.”

Greenwich Yoga and Vegan Festival is on Feb 24 from 9:15am-5pm at Corelli College,

Blackheath, SE38EP. Admission: £5 online/ £8 on the door. The ticket entitles you to attend all classes, talks, and workshops for free. Free entry for children under 14 years.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Nicky Sweetland

I need a hero T

here’s going to be a ‘super’ new exhibition at the O2 opening this week.

DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. will display a unique set of artifacts that chronicle the iconic superheroes, Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman in an exhibition entitled ‘DC Exhibition: Dawn of Super Heroes’.

From 23 February, comic book fans will be able to see over 200 original comic pages, 300 preparatory sketches and concept artworks for the cinema and 45 original costumes, models and props used in the iconic films.

Visitors can enjoy a soundtrack made up of the original DC films series, while they wonder through and explore the articles displayed in chronological order. They can also gaze in wonder at artwork depicting some of the world’s most famous superheroes alongside their arch nemeses, the super villains, including The Penguin, The Joker and The Riddler.

Showcasing almost a century of

10 February 21 2018

creations, the exhibition features costumes and props from 1989 to 1999’s Batman franchise directed by Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher, The Dark Knight, The Man of Steel, Batman V Superman and the recent Justice League by Zack Snyder.

And the world of the DC superheroes is all thanks to the imagination of two Cleveland teenagers, Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, who created Superman. They introduced ‘The Man of Steel’ to the world in 1938 and Superman, the world’s first Super Hero, went on to revolutionise the comic book world, which we now know and love.

The exhibition will also examine the impact these characters have had on 20th and 21st century pop culture and the importance the mythology has had on the political and socio economic climate.

DC Exhibition: Dawn of Super Heroes opens at the O2 on 23 February and runs until 9 September 2018.

STAGE AND SCREEN

ulses will be racing in Greenwich on 22 February when the latest stage adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ steamy classic Cat On a Hot Tin Roof is screened as part of the National Theatre Live season.

The play - which first ran at the Young Vic before receiving a West End transfer to the Apollo Theatre last year– stars Sienna Miller, Jack O’Connell and Colm Meaney. The production received a cluster of four and five star reviews with Michael Billington at The Guardian heralding it as a ‘radical update of the classic’ and writing that it ‘delivers emotional intensity shot through with humour – and a blistering performance by Jack O’Connell’.

The production followed director Benedict Andrews' immense success with Tennessee Williams’ other most famous work A Street Car Named Desire, which saw him steer Gillian Anderson to Evening Standard Theatre Award winning success as Blanche DuBois.

Cat On a Hot Tin Roof first premiered in 1955 and was made famous by the 1958 film adaptation, which starred

laura@weekender.co.uk /

Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman. The story is set in Mississippi, on a cotton plantation owned by the affluent mogul Big Daddy Pollitt and follows the fates of his son Brick (Jack O’Connell) and Brick’s wife Maggie the Cat (played by Sienna Miller).

And both Miller’s and O’Connell’s performances were much admired by the difficult-to-please London stage critics during the run at the Apollo Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue, with many commenting on the intensity of the relationship between the pair.

But it’s the sleek set design and imposing lighting, which you will also need to look out for, with an abundance of watery interludes, helping to diffuse the passionate and at times stifling interactions between the leading cast members.

You can watch the National Theatre Live screened performance of Cat On a Hot Tin Roof at both Greenwich Picturehouse and Greenwich Odeon on 22 February at 7pm.

HISTORY

The fascinating George Landmann Mary Mills

We are all celebrating the reopening and re-building of London Bridge Station – but to my mind something is missing.

I see very little mention of the man who started it all – George Landmann the engineer to the London and Greenwich Railway. He was born in Woolwich in 1779. His family lived in the building on the Arsenal site which was the original Royal Military Academy. George joined the Royal Engineers as a Second Lieutenant when he was 16 and was first posted to Plymouth. He began to learn his job and did some repair work on fortifications. Two years later he was posted to Canada where he had all sorts of adventures - he later wrote a book about them. He built gun emplacements out on the border with the United States in places it took a week to reach by canoe up the Ottawa River; he worked on the construction of the St,Lawrence Canal; he visited New York when it was a small town, travelling by sledge – and

12 February 21 2018

1836 arches on the Surrey Canal towpath much much more. And in Canada he hob nobbed with Royalty – Prince George, the future father of Queen Victoria. And he was still only in his teens.

He seems to have got married – he was to have three children, but the marriage went wrong and he never mentions it in his autobiography.

In 1805 he was posted to Gibraltar and he liked that a lot better. He collected plants, made friends, drank a lot, but soon Gibraltar was boring too. He was a soldier and so, he thought he ought to see some action. It was the time of the Peninsula war in Spain and he was eventually sent to join the conflict. What went on next is thus rather unclear and buried in military records.

He left Spain ill and came back in

England as a senior Royal Engineer.

And so -- we come to the London and Greenwich Railway. This is not the place to go into a lot of detail about it – perhaps another time. It was the first powered railway in London and the first commuter railway. Spa Road Station in Bermondsey was the first station opened – and the first in the south of England.

The railway ran from London Bridge in 1836 at first to Deptford, and then to Greenwich. There were plans to extend it through to Kent, and also to a ferry at Deptford but that never happened. While it was built George was living in Crooms Hill but in 1840 he moved to Hackney and then, when his first wife died, he married Harriett.

He was also involved in the promotion and construction of the Lancashire

George Landmann port of Fleetwood – promoted in the 1830s by Peter Hesketh –Fleetwood who had commissioned top architect Decimus Burton to lay out the town and design the buildings. Landmann, seems to have upset a number of people there, but he was responsible for the rail link – which was built all on the flat and nothing like as exciting as the London and Greenwich.

Another project was the Devon and Cornwall Railway.

George Landmann eventually retired to live in Hackney, surrounded by his family and to write a gazetteer of the world yes, the world, all of it.

Greenwich Industrial History Society meetings are held at The Old Bakehouse, Bennett Park, SE3. This is a small theatre in the back of the

Age Exchange Shop –in The Village opposite Blackheath Station. There is no on site parking – please do not park outside the Bakehouse, but use the car park behind the station. We start at 7.30 and non members are charged £1. We would also remind people that GIHS are not part of Age Exchange and that their staff are unable to answer questions about GIHS or our meetings.

THEATRE Nicky Sweetland

Welcome to the Jungle Photo by Manuel-Harlan

A

cclaimed playwright Jessica Swale has given Rudyard Kipling’s beloved story The Jungle Book an exciting contemporary twist for a new stage production.

And audiences in the area will not only be able to see the show on their doorstep, but will also be able to enjoy performances by some homegrown talent as two members of the cast are from the immediate locale.

TJ Holmes and Chipo Kureya – who are both originally from southeast London - star in the brand new musical adaptation, which will open at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley as part of its nationwide tour on 28 February.

TJ – who doubles up as both the wolf daddy and a monkey in the show - told us what audiences can look forward to and said, “It’s a familiar story; obviously lots of people will know The

laura@weekender.co.uk /

“There are some really genuine, touching and heart warming moments.”

Jungle Book, but it’s been given a fresh twist. Audiences can expect to see lots of the familiar lovable characters like Baloo and Bagheera and some of the less lovable ones like Shere Khan. The writer, director and creative team have decided to use the familiar story as a way to explore some ideas of what it is to feel that you fit in with a group.”

The original collection of stories

by Rudyard Kipling was published in 1894 and has been the subject

www.weekender.co.uk

of a number of adaptations over the subsequent years, perhaps most notably in 1967 when the Disney animated film turned the much loved animal characters into jazz singing legends.

And the new stage adaptation hasn’t lost that musical vibe, with the celebrated jazz performer and composer Joe Stilgoe writing the soundtrack, which was influenced by the original animated film soundtrack.

Chipo Kureya – who was

recently part of the multi Olivier Award winning cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – has loved the creative process of developing a brand new musical and told us, “The Jungle Book has been incredible. It’s great fun.”

Chipo enthuses, “We didn’t really know it was going to be a musical; we thought it was going to be a play with a song or two, but it’s turned into a really joyful evening and it’s so heart warming.”

TJ adds, “There are some really

Chipo Kuraya

genuine, touching and heart warming moments.”

The famous jungle will be recreated on stage with elaborate costumes and sets designed

by Peter McKintosh and Chipo assures me that audiences are also in for a visual feast, “It looks aesthetically very, very beautiful.”

The Jungle Book runs at The Churchill Theatre, Bromley from 28 February until 4 March. www.junglebooklive.co.uk

fter Alaska, Texas is the biggest US state, and in Texas everything is big: guns, egos, Stetsons, cowboy boots and dinners.

Continuing the theme, Texas Jacks does a good job of making you feel that you are in the Lone Star state with flags, American memorabilia and huge plates of food, which was very handy because myself and Print and Digital Consultant Extraordinaire Catherine were starving.

As I waited at the bar for my dining companion I quaffed a Boston Lager and chatted with the mixologist, who told me that the King Prawns were good. I took note of that bit of info and noted too that there were quite a few people in at this early hour (6pm). I further noted that there is a 5pm - 7pm Happy Hour and it all made sense.

When Catherine (Call me Cat) arrived, a little flustered from rush hour traffic, she quickly ordered a Mojito and took charge of the menu like a Boss, steamrolling over any of my suggestions as she called on lots of meat. I mentioned the prawns being good and she agreed to let me have some as a starter. I feel fortunate that she did as they were very nice, with just that right amount of garlic and chilli to make the lips and tongue tingle.

We also had Buffalo Chicken Wings that were massive, fall-offthe-bone-tender and in a sticky sauce that coated my fingers for licking and ended up all round my mouth. Scrumptious. If buffalo could fly they would need wings this size.

Between courses Emy the manager came over to make sure we had all we needed, and arranged another round of drinks for us. Cat then told me how busy she had been in the Digital Consultant world and about her nut allergy.

What! I knew that she had not informed the kitchen about this so, internally, I panicked because my Level One First Aider training had expired in 1998. Outwardly I smiled, had a large glug of lager

18 February 21 2018

American dream while trying to remember what the recovery position was. My anxiety levels hit the roof.

Just as I was about to feign my own illness and run away a platter of sizzling Chicken Fajitas was set down and making me flinch or get burnt, plus enough Tortillas for wrapping that hot meat. Cat was an expert in Tex-Mex and demonstrated how to load up the tortillas with the sauce, add the meat, the stir fry veg and then roll it.

Very novel.

As I was constructing my first fajita I scanned the steaming dish for signs of nuts. I saw none and felt my blood pressure subsiding. But then another large plate arrived, this time piled high with Beef Ribs in BBQ Sauce. How big were those cows to have ribs of those proportions? I could have made two cows from the meat on that plate! I gallantly dived in. After about half hour of pretty much non-stop feeding we still had a table full of food, so agreed on allowing the server to clear everything away in order to stop us from picking. I was relieved. But not for long because Cat demanded I have a dessert.

‘I’m too full,’ I pleaded.

‘Don’t be a baby,’ she said with a look of disdain that increased my pain.

‘I swear I couldn’t eat a dessert.’

‘Have ice cream, anyone can eat ice cream at any time.’

‘I promise you I can’t right now.’

‘What kind of reviewer are you that doesn’t have a dessert?’

I was silenced. Cat continued mocking me until our server went by: ‘Can my friend have the ice cream, please? One scoop of vanilla and one of toffee fudge.’

Inside I died.

‘And I’ll have a glass of Rosé, please,’ she added.

The ice cream came and it was delicious - good ice cream always is - but I hardly touched it. I was now more in fear of dying of overeating than Cat’s allergy kicking in. In

fact, I was now tempted to force feed her a handful of cashews!

Texas Jacks has made me admire those Texas cowboys much more now. It serves good American food and provides a nice atmosphere to enjoy it in. We had a lot of fun there.

Those who know go to Pho

Pho Street 17 King William Walk SE10 9JH www.phostreet.co.uk Open daily 11.30am - 10pm

P

ho Street is a Vietnamese restaurant that makes you feel good as soon as you walk in and see the blocks of bright colours, smiling staff in sloganned T-shirts, an array of fresh salads, and a selection of cooked meats all ready to go into the bao (steamed buns).

Me and Mum took that feel-good factor and found a table in the far corner.

John, a young Vietnamese man, with a proper SE London accent, introduced himself and answered a few questions for us, just before a colleague came over with two Hanoi beers and excitedly told us all about the Bubble Tea and stressed that we must have the Pho (Vietnamese noodle soup).

The starters looked good and from the list we chose Vietnamese spring rolls and salt and pepper king prawns. The spring rolls had a crispy latticework outer that housed a pork, prawn and herb inner, and were very good in both texture and taste. I asked John about the pastry and he said it was a secret recipe. Damn! While we were in discussion Mum took the biggest prawns and the lion’s share of the sliced chili dressing! Damn again!

Moving on to the next course we took John’s advice and had the roast duck bao. I’ve heard about these traditional buns but this was the first time of trying them.

I was totally amazed at how good they are. The hot meat is placed

“We’re full,” I implored, putting on my sad face and rubbing my belly as if in pain. in the bun with fresh salad and a little sauce, just like a normal sandwich, but it is the bun itself that I loved. It feels strangely like putty but is perfect for the job and I’m already looking forward to my next one.

We also had the meat special dish where duck, BBQ pork and crispy pork is served with rice and vegetables and was very nice. The veg was steamed, very colourful and pleasing to the eye. Between mouthfuls we were both very complimentary about Pho Street and agreed we were now full and ready to try the Vietnamese Coffee and Bubble Tea to finish a rather nice lunchtime feast.

But no, our server came over to say we must have the Pho: it’s traditional, the restaurant is named after Pho, it’s what every Vietnamese person in the place was lunching on. She was right.

“We’re full,” I implored, putting on my sad face and rubbing my belly as if in pain. “I’ll have it next time… Tell me about the Bubble Tea.” We then got an explanation of these tapioca-based drinks that come in many flavours and hues.

But then John turned up saying he was going to bring us small bowls of Pho Ga (chicken). It was now an offer we couldn’t refuse; it felt rude to. Very quickly a huge bowl of Pho arrived with small bowls for us to decant the

broth and noodles in to. It was delicious. It came with fresh herbs, lemon and chili to make a hot and sour soup, and I eventually decanted three small bowls for myself from that big bowl. Mum had a good go too.

That was it then. We really were stuffed.

The Bubble Tea was an odd thing but the Vietnamese coffee was excellent; sweet and creamy like a latte with a vanilla shot.

For us Pho Street was a warm and welcoming winner. The food, authentic and cooked by Vietnamese chefs, looks good and tastes good. The staff are friendly and on the ball. What else do you want?
