10pm – 2am the northern section of an urban area adj. high-class, of quality, distinction and note UpTown brings a blend of high quality music for dancing to North London’s favourite juke box bar. With an eye to the dancefloor and an ear to some of the finest music produced over the last several decades, Djs Trailer Trish and Johnny Klash set the perfect tone for a Friday night out. UpTown brings you back to when kids in the North of England spun the night away to the sounds of Detroit and Philly; when Motown ruled the charts; when rock and roll meant ‘rock and roll’; when the sounds of the American South met the big city clubs and everyone was ‘doin the popcorn’; when Studio 54 bumped to brave new beats; when Debbie Harry met Fab 5 Freddy; when UK indie ruled the world; and when pop music was good music

policy, while Will Blair will oppose any change. As with previous debates, they will be supported
by seconders from local 6th forms. Members of the audience will then be invited to make
contributions from the floor. The Debates will be free and open to the general public, as well as
HLSI members.

Liz has created a collection of paintings of plants in close detail: uprooted, revealing their complex structures and individual history, and full of visual delight. Although not intended as a scientific study, the paintings bring us to a new relationship with nature.
Liz Miranda’s life as an artist has an international flavour. She was born in Iran, studied in England and France, worked, taught and exhibited, mainly in Brazil, and then returned to England to paint, etch, bring up a family and teach. She continues to teach, concentrating on painting from direct observation. In 2010 Liz exhibited at the Highgate Gallery and in this show her work is, as always, in oil on canvas or wood.
For the past few years Liz has been painting plants in close detail. She likes to work with the whole shape of each plant but also wants to focus on its component parts – roots, stalks, seed-heads, pods, the changes of colour, the texture and thickness of stem with the position on it of the leaves and nodes.
However realistic, her works are not illustrations. Liz wants them to be true but accuracy is not the goal: they are paintings. Painting is the second stage of freezing the potential development of these natural forms; though they were already denied growth when uprooted from the soil.
Her subjects range from modest London weeds to exotic plants, flowers, trees and grasses of the tropics. All are closely observed to reveal their individual integrity.
