7pm A monthly showcase for new songwriters/bands: each act performs two of their own songs and one cover version by the featured artist of the month. Now established as one of London’s premier music nights, “Under the Influence” at the Boogaloo has really taken off over the last two years, having been featured as pick of the week in the Guardian Guide and had write ups in Time Out, The Metro and others. Since it began in June 2010 there have been nights dedicated to Leonard Cohen, Morrissey, Lou Reed, Billy Bragg, Nick Cave, Nina Simone, Captain Beefheart, The Specials, Blondie, Jacques Brel, Ray Davies, Pixies, Belle & Sebastian, Kate Bush, The Clash, The Cure, Prince & more. The night attracts huge crowds and an increasingly varied and exciting range of signed and unsigned acts; from the indie pop of Hatcham Social, the gritty rhythm & blues of The Joker & The Thief, right through to the whisky-stained croon of Tom Mckean & the Emperors and the quirky songs of Helen McCookerybook. Their website is regularly updated with videos of some of the best performances, photos, reviews and more: http://undertheinfluencenight.com

From the age of five, in her grandmother’s garden, Annie Bromham has loved Nature.  Excited by the blaze of colours in the beautiful flowers, she wanted them to belong to her.  At the same time Annie discovered she could draw and began to capture these flowers in art.  She learned how to discover and create new colours, and to this day colours still speak to her.

Annie finds colour everywhere: in the garden, the forest, on the high street, while the wonder of the rainbow fills her imagination with joy and pure delight.  When she paints or sculpts she uses her whole body, her mind and feelings – everything that she is, in order to “catch a glimpse of the emotion of a moment.”  (Willem de Kooning).

Highgate Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of Annie Bromham’s recent work, which honours the mystery of movement in Nature: “I watch Nature budding, day by day noting the growth, and feeling the stretching movement of the stems and petals as they grow towards the light”.

Nature does not stand still; it is always either becoming more, and flourishing; or else decreasing, and dying.  The whole of creation reproduces itself according to the seasons of the year.  No two flowers are identical; each is unique.  Everything is in a state of flux.

“Whenever I pick up my paint brush or chisel, I am filled with awe for the life already lived by the tree, or the canvas that will hold my colours as I create new life.”  Annie’s imaginative use of colour offers endless possibilities.  “It is only when I pick up my paint brush that I can honour that glimpse of mystery which is within me.  I want to hear, see and feel the life that is in me as I surrender to the creative moment.”  Each moment of seeing, listening, touching and tasting reveals the mystery of life.  With Henry Moore Annie also believes that “to be an artist is to believe in life.”

Open Tuesday-Friday 13:00-17:00; Saturday 11:00-16:00; Sunday 11:00-17:00.  Closed Monday.

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
