PERFORMANCE AND COMEDY:
Vulgarians – stripped down music for an afternoon of excitement.
Dockers MC - performance poet and artist. (The Times picked her as one of
2008's literary 'ones to watch') “both spitfire rapid and animated with
slow motion precision, a flurry of sassy South London linguistics and
old-fashioned storytelling” (Wears the Trousers)
Rosie Wilby (Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year)
'a nice line in surreal patter' - Metro
Rosie Wilby is a comedian, singer/songwriter and MC/event host, based in
Peckham, SE London.
Sophie Parkin - Sophie Parkin is an English writer, artist and actor, born
in London in 1961.
She has also regularly written for British newspapers and periodicals, and
appeared on television and radio as a broadcaster – most recently on
Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4. She writes regularly for 3:AM Magazine.
Sara Bynoe
Actor, writer, comedian. In 2000 Sara created the website www.
TeenAngstPoetry. com: a comedic database of horrible poems people wrote
when they were teenagers. The endeavor spun off into hosting "Teen Angst"
readings and then Sara edited an anthology "Teen Angst: A Celebration of
REALLY BAD Poetry" (St. Martin's Press, 2005). Teen Angst Poetry has been
called 'Bloody Hilarious' (ION Magazine) and the book was nominated for a
New York Library Association Books of Summer award.
This year due to their being many more events, the day is spilt across
different venues: Goldsmiths Students’ Union, The New Cross Inn and the
Kate & Tristan shop.
TALKS FROM:
Molly Parkin - The highly acclaimed artist, painter and journalist comes
to speak about her life and her time at Goldsmiths in 1949.
"editor, poet, journalist, writer and artist: fashion editor of Nova
magazine in the 1960s, she moved onto the Sunday Times in the 1970s and
became a trend-setting celebrity; her autobiography, Moll was published in
1993."
Frances Morgan - Publisher of Plan B magazine... Women in Journalism.
"A music magazine that extends its remit to champion the counter-culture
in literature, film, comics, videogames and the visual arts, Plan B can be
relied on to cover the best new bands you already know and uncover a bunch
of others you haven’t heard yet. Or as they put it, “Confrontational
without being cliquey, Plan B is part of a cultural underground that looks
outwards.”
All proceeds go to the Poppy Project – a London based charity helping
women who have been trafficked into the UK.
Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.
International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.
Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.
We're about to record a new EP but can't decide which songs to put on it. To avoid any more 'heated debates' we've decided to let the good people of the internet decide.
If you've got a spare few minutes, please head over to http://www.naomihateshumans.com - have a listen to the songs and rate them. We promise to stand by the opinions of the interweb. Even if you are wrong.
So excited about Goldsmiths Ladyfest next week! good to see so many ace bands playing that have also played at She Bop...We are up for Djing for you for free if you like? just ask. xx
