The original hippy musical HAIR made its debut on the London stage in Autumn 1968.
Fifty years on, some of the original cast members get back together to talk about their experience of being in the very first rock musical.
Paul Nicholas, Annabel Leventon and Peter Straker have all gone on to be major stars in British theatre.
We are hoping that other cast members from HAIR will join Paul, Annabel and Peter. Come and listen to them talk about that wonderful period of love and peace. Help us recreate the Age of Aquarius and Let The Sunshine In!
There will also be a few old film clips to remind everyone what a hippy happy time we enjoyed in the Swinging Sixties.
Hosted by John Plews
The inspiring true story of football’s greatest ever underdogs.
Set in the early years of Association Football, The Giant Killers follows a ragtag bunch of Lancashire mill workers who defied all odds to become the first working-class team in the country to play in the FA Cup. Left tired and despondent from the cotton famine of the 1870s, this small group of northern lads found pride and hope in a game that up until then had been reserved for the upper classes. Darwen FC rose up against prevailing social prejudice and the might of the Football Association, to earn a place in history as the first real ‘giant-killers’ in English football, and take on the “poshest team of all” – The Old Etonians. Scoring a massive moral victory for all working class people, the team proved that passion and spirit is worth more than wealth and privilege. When the Battlefield is the football pitch, everyone is equal. The Giant Killers is an absorbing, heartfelt story of a town that came together to achieve the impossible and win the respect of the nation. A rip-roaring evening out, whether you know the off-side rule or not!

In this, his penultimate play, Ibsen explores the effects of hubris on his eponymous character and those around him. Written in the naturalistic style, which was in great favour amongst playwrights of the time, it explores the rise and fall of a man of humble origins – John Gabriel is the son of a miner – who rose to prominence as a banker and financial advisor to the wealthy citizens of his home town and then through greed and ambition is disgraced and brings shame on himself and
his family. In this, as in many of his plays, although Borkman is the central character around whom the action revolves, it is the females in his life who have true strength. It is they who recognise reality and control the final outcome of the story. Though apparently bleak the play offers hope for the future and acknowledges that life goes on, carried forward by the next generation.

Artworks inspired by the theme 50:50 will feature in an exciting new exhibition by more than 30 members of the East Finchley Open Artists (EFOA).
The exhibition features paintings, original prints, photographs and wall-mounted three-dimensional work including textiles and ceramics that interpret the theme 50:50 in a variety of ways, from half-and-half, positive/negative, or literally 50x50cm square.
All of the artists have prepared new works especially for the exhibition. Among them, David Waller explores the idea of twins in a large wall-hung mixed media piece; Christine Watson focuses on the simplicity of the rise and fall of steps at Trajan’s Market in her mezzotint; Cathy Burkinshaw presents a split-screen take on nature in her mixed media work Portobello Road; and photographer Peter Kyte juxtaposes two angled facades of buildings in Sheffield.
Founded in 2004, East Finchley Open Artists is a group of artists and craftspeople – including painters, printers, photographers, ceramicists, glass makers, jewellers, sculptors, textile artists and basket makers – ranging from those who are starting out in their creative careers to well-established professional artists and lecturers. Every summer the EFOA hosts Open House weekends, as well as other public events throughout the year. For information about upcoming events and activities, membership, and to sign up for the monthly e-newsletter, see: www.eastfinchleyopen.org.uk

A comedy of bad manners which starts with the arrival of four guests, invited independently by different members of the Bliss family for a weekend at their country house. The promise of an idyllic and peaceful weekend is quickly trounced by the self-absorbed eccentricities of the family.

The exhibition features paintings, original prints, photographs and wall-mounted three-dimensional work including textiles and ceramics that interpret the theme 50:50 in a variety of ways, from half-and-half, positive/negative, or literally 50x50cm square.
All of the artists have prepared new works especially for the exhibition. Among them, David Waller explores the idea of twins in a large wall-hung mixed media piece; Christine Watson focuses on the simplicity of the rise and fall of steps at Trajan’s Market in her mezzotint; Cathy Burkinshaw presents a split-screen take on nature in her mixed media work Portobello Road; and photographer Peter Kyte juxtaposes two angled facades of buildings in Sheffield.
Founded in 2004, East Finchley Open Artists is a group of artists and craftspeople – including painters, printers, photographers, ceramicists, glass makers, jewellers, sculptors, textile artists and basket makers – ranging from those who are starting out in their creative careers to well-established professional artists and lecturers. Every summer the EFOA hosts Open House weekends, as well as other public events throughout the year.
