10K ROYAL RUN Inspired by the London marathon?

Runners of all abilities can join in the Royal Parks Summer 10k series at Greenwich Park on May 13 (9:30am12:30pm). The traffic-free course involves two laps of the park. This is race one of a three race series; the other races are in Regents Park and Hyde Park.

YOUR CHARIOT AWAITS New ride-sharing app Ford Chariot has launched a Greenwich-focused route, Shooters Hill Shot, running from Shooters Hill to North Greenwich Station. The Shooters Hill Shot has 14-seater shuttle buses that runs to and from the Jubilee Line station each rush hour from areas that are currently poorly-served by the TfL network.

Users book a seat on one of the Chariot services with an app – as they would with Uber or a taxi app – but the service runs to a timetable, just like a bus. The route consists of Shooters Hill – Plum Lane, Dalin Road, Eglinton Hill, Condover Crescent, Moordown, Donaldson Road. It would then pick up in Kidbrooke – Corelli Road, Dursley Road, Hargood Road and Begbie Road – before running fast to North Greenwich station via the Blackwall Tunnel approach.

Chariot service currently runs four set routes on trial basis and picks up passengers who prebook via its app. Routes run through Battersea, Southwark and Lambeth. The move is part of Ford’s shared mobility drive to improve urban transportation.

Single rides cost £2.40. With a monthly pass, single journeys cost from £1.60.

SPOTLIGHT

By Laura Burgoine

Going Alfresco A

music festival in Kent is good news for south Londoners, and headliner Paul Daley, of Leftfield fame, is gearing up for the gig.

“I’m from Kent originally. I don’t know if I’ve been to Hop Farm but I’ve driven past it lots of times,” Paul said. “It’s great to have a festival in the south.”

Set across seven stages, with camping, circus performers, a kids zone and crèche, international street food, and rides and activities, Alfresco Festival features over 100 acts, including Bird of Paradise, Forriner, and Haules Baules.

DJ, remixer, and producer Paul Daley rose to fame as one half of the ‘90s electronic group Leftfield. Best known for their albums Leftism (1995) and Rhythm and Stealth (1999), the band pioneered the progressive house genre. “That was the early 1990s, we were doing an interview with Mixmag and they said ‘we’ve decided to call your music progressive house’ then it got hijacked by loads of people,” Paul recalled. “We went on to do really well out of it. This was preinternet. One of the points of Leftfield was we were doing something modern but we didn’t want to be pigeonholed.”

4 May 9 2018

“I’m open to listening to every genre,” Paul said. “My main question is always: is the music actually any good?”

“If I was 17 years old it’d be very daunting to find music,” he continued.

“It was hard to buy cool records when I was 17. There were gangs and if you looked like that, you were into that band. If I was in a band now, what would you do to stick out? As a DJ, you’re mostly playing other people’s music, it’s not very creative.”

Living in central London since the ‘80s, Paul has since made the move out to Margate. “I have a studio out here. A lot of the seaside towns are becoming places more people want to go to now,” he said. “In London you can find it a bit hard to move.

Everything’s going on but nothing’s going on. Going back to punk rock, acid house in the late ‘80s –for me those were the times to be in London. Now society has changed with the internet. You had to be places back then.”

The musician is selective about festivals. “Festivals are so massive now on a global level. It can become more quantity than quality on a lot of things, and sometimes I wonder if people are getting ripped off a bit but it’s also a positive creative thing,”

Leftfield's Paul Daley prepares for Kent festival

“Being in the music industry you have a different outlook; I always think wasn’t it great to hear music for the first time? That’s why electronic music has kept up –there’s this massive love for the ‘90s sound, and people trying to sound like Chicago or Detroit underground music from the ‘90s” he said. “It’s still got to come back to making good music. That’s the good thing about Alfresco. [Organiser] Mark’s very much into promoting less known DJs, alongside veterans like me.” He attributes Leftfield’s success to “a bit of a timing thing.”

“We made those records in the ‘90s at the right time, and it fell into place.

Kind of a happy accident.”

Leftfield’s music has featured in a number of films, including Trainspotting 1 and 2, the Beach, Vanilla Sky, and Lara Croft: Tomb

Raider. The duo’s music was also used in the 1999 award-winning Surfer advertising campaign for Guinness.

“The stuff we’ve made with Leftfield, particularly those two tracks [A Final Hit and Snakeblood] were quite cinematic,” Paul said.

“Working with Danny Boyle on the Beach, after we did that there was a lot of interest,” he continued.

“There was a time in the ‘90s when advertising companies were looking for something new. There wasn’t

underground music on TV used in adverts, but after the early ‘90s with the arts music explosion, creatives started looking to that. Before that it was pretty bland, then after we did the Guinness advert people realised there’s this wealth of electronic music, and now it’s in every car advert,” he said.

Paul and his band member Neil Barnes wrote music specifically for Trainspotting. “We wrote that for that scene,” Paul said. “I remember going to the screening in Soho and thinking it was really good but I had no idea it

laura@weekender.co.uk /

www.weekender.co.uk

would become such a big film.”

This summer Paul is heading to Ibiza where he’s been playing for 30 years. “I spend a couple of months out there. I don’t really do commercial clubs anymore. I kind of did all that before it became really commercial. Now underground music is a sea of names, whereas you used to be able to count the underground DJs on two hands.”

“The ‘60s and ‘70s music are my favourite decades for music,” Paul said. “Being in the music industry you have a different outlook; I always think wasn’t it great to hear music for the first time? That’s why electronic music has kept up – there’s this massive love for the ‘90s sound, and people trying to sound like Chicago or Detroit underground music from the ‘90s.”

“The whole crux of what I do is: for two hours I play, if you’re not there, you’re going to miss it,” he said. “It was always like that back in the day.”

“The main reason I do this festival is [organisers] Mark and Nicky and their positive energy, and attitude,” he said.

“I’m chuffed they asked me to do it amongst all the new people; there’s lot of new DJs playing, and it’s great for them to come through.”

Alfresco Festival is at Hop Farm, near Paddock Wood, Kent, TN12 6PY, on bank holiday weekend May 25-27. Admission: Tickets range from adult Friday (£33)-adult full weekend (£135.45) www.alfrescofestival.co.uk

Local czars L

ewisham locals can look out for the Czar Street Estate onscreen in Idris Elba’s new television show In the Long Run. Set in the ‘80s, the comedy series follows the Easmon family, originally from Sierra Leone, who live on a Hackney housing estate, until the brother of Walter (Idris Elba) is sent to live with them.

The Czar Street Estate in

Lewisham helped out with key scenes filmed in December last year, where audiences see a boy singing from a balcony, Idris Elba giving driving lessons and Idris Elba and Bill Bailey sitting outside a garage enjoying a beer.

The children walk through Folkestone Gardens in Lewisham talking about how they’ve never been allowed to go past the bridge on their own, and wait outside the pub for their parents. These

scenes were shot outside the Wheelshunters Club in Hornshay Street.

In the Long Run is available to watch on Sky One now.

Idris Elba also makes his directorial debut with gangster coming of age period piece Yardie, which has its UK premiere at Sundance London on June 1 at 9:30pm at Picturehouse Central.

Admission: £16.50. www.picturehouses.com

A

planetarium show exploring dark matter, from the Big Bang to its anticipated discovery at the Large Hadron Collider, is playing at the Royal Observatory.

Dark matter at Observatory laura@weekender.co.uk /

Phantom of the Universe reveals the first hints of its existence through the eyes of Fritz Zwicky, the scientist who coined the term "dark matter." It describes the astral choreography witnessed by Vera Rubin in the Andromeda galaxy and then plummets deep underground to see the most sensitive dark matter

detector on Earth, housed in a former gold mine.

From there, it journeys across space and time to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, speeding alongside particles before they collide in visually stunning explosions of light and sound, while learning how scientists around the world are collaborating to track down the constituents of dark matter.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

any people, I’m sure, will have met Cyril O’Brien somewhere around the borough. Perhaps you went to school with him at St Peters Primary School or St Joseph’s Academy; I bet some readers would have had a drink in one of his pubs: Director General (Woolwich) The Pickwick (Charlton) The Goldsmiths Tavern (New Cross) The Squire (Bromley) or The Two Worlds (Plumstead); and one or two of you lucky people will have been rescued

by Cyril when he was a firefighter in Shooters Hill, Plumstead, Erith, Woolwich, Greenwich or Norbury.

These days, however, Cyril O’Brien is an author and he wants you to be reading his book: A History of London through Beer Goggles.

Once I knew what an interesting man Cyril was I was keen to interview him for the Weekender. He sounded like Indiana Jones, Crocodile Dundee and Del Boy all wrapped up in the Greenwich coat of arms and smelling sweetly of eau de Pale Ale. Cyril tells me since he was a child he “always wanted to be a firefighter,” and after an apprenticeship in Mechanical Engineering it was the job he did and loved all over SE London. He progressed up to be an instructor at the Southwark Training Centre before promotion moved Cyril on to Senior Officer in many South London districts. Eventually our

8 May 9 2018

writer-in-waiting was to be found in the heady heights of Borough Commander, where he took charge of Greenwich, Tower Hamlets, Croydon and Bexley at different times. And it was as Borough Commander that he enjoyed the most job satisfaction. “It was the best of everything: incidents, involvement with firefighters and officers, station life, public engagement and working with local officials and partners,” he says with a sparkle of nostalgia in his eye.

But the call of the pen was always there so Cyril combined his love of trivia, his fascination with history and a penchant for pubs to write A History of London through Beer Goggles. His book takes you on a journey (pub crawl) to some of the capital’s oldest pubs, and all the while you are learning about London legends, myths and a myriad of facts about: the Great Fire of London, prostitutes pimped by the church, cock fighting, Shakespeare and the inspiration for tiered wedding cakes. It promises visits to places you have probably never seen, with historic gems surprising you at every turn. And beer.

Cyril will be giving a talk about his book and taking questions in Guildhall Library on June 12 Presentation from 6pm-7pm with a wine reception from 7pm-8pm. Admission: £8.14. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-history-of-londonthrough-beer-goggles-tickets-44449365248 A History of London through Beer Goggles is out now and is available from austinmacauley. com and Amazon.co.uk. £10.99 for paperback, £14.99 for hardback.

BOOKS

Frankie's literary journey F

rankie McGowan is a journalist and former magazine editor. She has written short stories for a variety of magazines, including Women’s Own and The Lady, as well as longer novels for Endeavour Media.

Her latest novel, A Single Journey, is out now in eBook, and available in paperback in May. She lives in London.

Female authors often still find their work labelled as ‘women’s fiction’, which seems like a pretty vague umbrella term. Do you find this label limiting when it’s used to describe your own work, or do you embrace it? Do you think it’s a trend that’s set to change When the phrase is used in a dismissive way, or hear men imply that women fiction writers can't deliver the level of important insights in fiction as male writers do, I most certainly do not embrace it. God no. But while I don't have any problem with my books being seen as 'women's fiction,' I do have

10 May 9 2018

difficulty, in trying to understand the logic behind segregating it in such a way, while there are shelves full of sci-Fi and crime, dominated by brilliant women writers all of which are bought by men without, as far as I'm aware, any incidence reported of any one of them going into a decline as a result of not being told a woman was involved in its creation?

The Oscars haven't got a single 'women's only' category. The Turner Prize for visual art anyone?

There hasn't been a sharp dent in ticket sales for classical concerts if the conductor wielding the baton is a woman. Frankly, I can't be doing with it, far too busy writing. So to anyone who thinks women's fiction is just chick-lit or romance (nothing wrong with either as it happens but it isn't) and cannot possibly be up to their weight, can I suggest that they just get over themselves and try it.

Books such as the huge international bestseller Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine are highlighting the modern epidemic of loneliness in our society. This is something that you highlight through the character of Elena, who although fabulous and larger-

than-life in her old age, has been somewhat forgotten by her family and community, despite the extraordinary things she’s been through. Is this an issue that concerns you?

It should concern everyone. But its not always easy to help. In A Single Journey, Elena treasures her independence, and her pride stops her from coming straight out with it, that she needs a bit of support.

Personally, I think it should be compulsory for schools to start telling kids that along with how to combat bullying and the perils of sexting, loneliness is far more likely to afflict them at some point in their life and start telling them how to deal with it.

Like so many people I struggle with knowing I should be doing more to help those living alone, or feeling lonely, but keep putting it off until I've finished writing the next chapter, sorted the stuff to go to the dump, find something to wear for that wedding in June and oh God, is that the time? Its called life. It gets in the way. It shouldn't.

But as my school report would say: 'capable of more and must try harder.' So I will.

Location plays a key role in the book. What made you choose London and Berlin as the central cities of the novel?

Having been born, brought up, educated and always worked in London, I didn't have to research that bit which is always a huge incentive for any project, but Berlin was pure chance. I was visiting my husband working on location there and sitting in a cafe in Hackeshe Hofe while someone was telling me how so many Berliners after WW2, had to live in bombed buildings, just scrawling their names in chalk on whatever bit of doorway they could find, so anyone trying to find them could.

I sort of used that as a starting point. Sorry, wish it was more exciting. No old Russian woman sitting at next table, telling me her life story. If only.

THEATRE

By Nicky Sweetland

Sasha's homecoming

S

asha Regan’s hugely acclaimed production of Iolanthe will visit Greenwich Theatre as part of its nationwide tour and it’s something of a homecoming for the renowned director.

Sasha Regan is originally from Bexley and regularly visited Greenwich Theatre while at school.

“It’s lovely. I used to go there with my A-level group when I went to Dartford Grammar,” Sasha told me during a break in rehearsals for the new production.

And it was also theatre in the area, which first inspired her love of Gilbert and Sullivan. It’s an affection that has carried through into her hugely successful theatrical career and this year Sasha is again directing a singlesex cast in a production of Iolanthe.

“My Grandfather took me to see Gilbert and Sullivan at the Orchard in Dartford; I think I saw The Mikado when I was about 10 and I probably didn’t know what was going on. But then at school- being in an all girls’ school and doing all female productions - I wanted to do one. I tried to find a way of bringing a sort of innocence back and youthfulness to it - looking back to my school days and us all dressing up and it being very playful - and it seems to work with audiences, thank goodness.”

And it’s turned into a very fruitful foray, with Sasha staging productions of many of Gilbert and

Sullivan’s most famous operettas with all-male casts including the critically acclaimed All-Male The Mikado.

“We did that [The Mikado] last year and before that we did H.M.S Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance as well.” Sasha explained, “We did this [Iolanthe] in Wilton’s Music Hall, I think it’s seven years ago now so it’s a nice feeling when you’re not doing a completely new one because you can remember it, have an idea about it and improve it, so it makes a nice relaxed rehearsal room.”

But the all-male Gilbert and Sullivan productions aren’t Sasha’s only great contribution to our modern theatre. In fact, the director, who staged her first

ever show above the Bird’s Nest in Deptford, has helped to bring a vast array of theatre to venues all over the country and was instrumental in establishing The Union Theatre in Southwark.

But Sasha always returns to Gilbert and Sullivan and explained why: “The scores and the music are just phenomenal and because most modern musical aren’t written for that many voices, to have 16 or 17 voices in harmony, just lifts the roof off and I don’t think you can beat it. I work with a lot of musical theatre performers, so for them to get to sing this is really special.

And the script is really funny.”

Many see Iolanthe as Gilbert and Sullivan’s best work, with the soaring melodies and light-hearted

“If people haven’t seen Gilbert and Sullivan before, it will be a joyful evening and a lovely introduction. It’s funny, witty, they’ll laugh and they’ll cry hopefully”

story making it a show that has broad appeal. The story mixes together the House of Lords with a colony of fairies, making for a funny and fantastical foray.

“It’s so funny and tender and sweet.” Sasha tells me, “If people haven’t seen Gilbert and Sullivan before, it will be a joyful evening and a lovely introduction. It’s funny, witty, they’ll laugh and they’ll cry hopefully.”

Sasha Regan’s All-Male Iolanthe is at Greenwich Theatre from 23-28 July. You can find further details on the website www.greenwichtheatre.org.uk

PROPERTY

Shared Ownership in Desirable South London Hotspot

L

&Q is launching the next phase of Shared Ownership homes at Quebec Quarter - the housing association’s flagship development in Canada Water.

Helping first time buyers get on the property ladder in an area where property prices have risen by 46% in the past five years*, the new release of 15 one bedroom Shared Ownership homes will provide achievable city living for young couples and professional singles.

Lucy Chitty, Sales and Customer Services Director at L&Q, comments, “Canada Water is currently undergoing substantial redevelopment, and is fast becoming one of South London’s most notable property hotspots, boasting superb transport links, a strong community and better value for money than some of its neighbours. The sales success of the previous phases of Shared Ownership at Quebec Quarter demonstrated that there is

18 May 9 2018

high demand for Shared Ownership homes in this area, and we expect high levels in interest from first time buyers again in this new phase.”

Designed by Alan Camp Architects, Quebec Quarter comprises of seven distinct stepped blocks, finished with composition of brick, GRC and timber cladding, a nod to the adjacent, Russia Dock Woodland and award winning Stave Hill Ecological Park. The carefully considered layout has been created to promote a strong sense of community, with over 65% of the total site area dedicated to green and outdoor space – including landscaped grounds, play areas and a cross site path leading directly to

the next door woodland.

Inside, the spacious Shared Ownership properties come with a high level of specification. All homes feature modern kitchen units in a contemporary colour palette with co-ordinating cinammon worktop, stainless steel splash back and upstand along with a plethora of fully integrated appliances.

Bathrooms have a range of pristine white sanitaryware. Hallways and living spaces have quality laminate flooring and bedrooms are carpeted, with fitted wardrobes in master bedrooms. Floor to ceiling windows allow an abundance of light to flow into the apartments, maximizing the views of the surrounding woodlands.

Top of every Londoner’s wishlist, all homes come with a balcony or terrace – some of which are exceptionally large.

Ideal for young buyers, the increasingly vibrant area surrounding Canada Water Underground Station offers a number of popular independent shops, restaurant, cafes and bars, as well as the iconic bronze aluminum clad Canada Water Library. A short walk from Quebec Quarter is the Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, which is set to become a shopping mecca when a £34 million redevelopment programme is completed within the next 5 years.

Perfectly positioned, Quebec

Quarter is equidistant from Canada Water and Surrey Quays stations.

Jubilee line services from Canada Water offer fast commuting times to stations in The City and the West End, including Canary Wharf (2 minutes), Waterloo (6 minutes) and Bond Street (12 minutes)**. The area is set to become even better connected following the completion of the proposed Rotherhithe Bridge in 2020 – a foot and cycle bridge connecting Canada Water with Canary Wharf, which will transform commutes to the business district for buyers at Quebec Quarter.

Prices start from £121,250 for a 25% share of a one bedroom apartment – FMV £485,000.

The marketing suite and fully furnished show apartments are open Monday – Saturday 10am -5pm, Sunday 10am – 4pm.

Viewings are by appointment only.
