Dulwich Festival 2016 | 6th - 15th May

Dulwich Festival 2016

T

his year’s Dulwich Festival delivers a tremendous calendar of art, music and cultural inspiration all squeezed into ten exhilarating days in May. The 23rd staging of the Festival - the annual celebration of the arts in Dulwich and the surrounding area - once again promises a wealth of cultural entertainment and stimulation for everyone, and takes place from 6th-15th May 2016.

Doctor, comedian and health commentator Dr Phil Hammond will be bringing his ‘How to survive the NHS…and help the NHS survive’ show to Alleyn's Great Hall on 9th May. In this highly subversive comedy, Dr Phil calls for an end to top down disorganisation of the NHS, and launches his own 'bidet revolution' – from the bottom up.

Later in the week, the 2015 Christmas number one holders - the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir - will be headlining the Festival of Choirs at Holst Hall. The choir is made up of staff from across the NHS workforce - from doctors and nurses to porters and administrators.

For drama lovers, there will be plays and performances for all ages. The internationallyacclaimed Tangram Theatre Company will bring their much-lauded performance, Albert Einstein: Relativitively Speaking to this year's Festival.

Their collaborative, challenging and entertaining approach to theatre seeks to actively engage the

audience, so be ready to join in! Garlic Theatre will enthrall a family audience with a magical display from their beautifully crafted shoe puppets in a funny, poetic and imaginative performance.

In a first for the festival, Dulwich Park will play host to a piece of interactive outdoor theatre.

When a schoolgirl needs help in solving the riddle of time travel, there’ll be clues for the audience to solve and a trail to follow, so oodles fun to be had when The Multiple Myrtle Mysteries land!

This year’s music calendar promises a number of treats. A Scandinavian Soundaround will invite anyone who can play a scale on their instrument to bring it along for a collaborative workshop in Dulwich Picture Gallery. Places will be limited, so those interested are urged to buy their tickets in advance.

Meanwhile, the Joglaresa Ensemble’s show Nuns and Roses will provide an insight into music from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, and Nedwardo and the Rumbanauts band will be

Hectic Host

April Fool: The Easiest Dessert Ever, No Joke.

O

ver the years in this Hectic Host column we have shared many handy hacks on how to make entertaining just that little bit easier. From recipes that take minutes rather than hours, to how to get your home guest-ready and recover afterwards.

When it comes to dinner parties the perennial problem for us all seems to be the pudding course. Perceived as tricky and hard to get right I am a great advocate of buying in. ‘Why try when you can buy?’ is my motto and who would dispute that, especially with all our wonderful local bakeries and patisseries? However one of our oldest national recipes happens to be one of our most simple; the fool is actually foolproof.

The first written record of the word ‘foole’, associated with a dessert, appears in a 1598 dictionary 'Worlde of Wordes'; ‘a kinde of clouted creame called a foole’. It was in the sixteenth century, from what I can gather, almost a trifle; bread steeped in a fruit custard. Today recipes vary greatly from blends of custard with whipped double cream to cream and Greek yoghurt but to keep things concise nothing beats the nononsense ease of my one-part fruit compote, two-parts cream combination.

A compote is essentially fruit stewed in water and sugar; nothing could be simpler you may think, however, my go-to dessert became even easier this weekend when I discovered the joys of Fruition handmade compotes at Herne Hill Market on Sunday. Instead of making my own, in a flash I can now add one of Fruition’s exceptional creations to bowls of whipped double cream. Seasonally there are many to choose from; rhubarb and orange; rhubarb and ginger; apple and lemon; plum and cinnamon; plum and vanilla; sweet cherry and gooseberry and elderflower.

Made in Clapham from ingredients bought locally, I will never have to agonise over dessert again. A few tips here; when assembling I would

12 | SE21 - April 2016

advise putting your compote into your bowl or glass first, then spoon on your cream, gently lift some of the fruit up through the cream and make a very gentle half stir to get a satisfying swirl effect. Top with fine sprinkles of gated lemon zest and quite literally a few crystals of brown sugar.

This dish does not sit well so you will have to make it just before you serve. Another regular to Herne Hill Market is Jan Pateman; whose locally hand-made, splendidly pleasing pottery espresso cups make the perfect receptacle for this rich delight.

Another way to round of a meal is with a plate of delicious Dulwich-made guimauves

by La Maison Guimauve. The French version of marshmallows; these are nothing like the bags of fluff that supermarkets sell. Soft, fresh and delicious, I was immediately hooked. You can buy, and you will be going back and buying again and again, online from lamaisonguimauve.com. I don’t think I have seen anything prettier than the cappuccino confections.

3) Finely chop dill and add to the salt mix, with the zest of 2 lemons.

4) Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.

5) In a container big enough to fit your salmon into, spread a layer of the marinade over the bottom about 1/2 an inch thick.

6) Lay the salmon onto the salt mix and gently press down.

7) Pour the rest of the salt mix over the salmon, ensuring it is completely covered around all edges.

8) Cover in cling film and place into the fridge for 72 hours.

9) After a few days, all the water will have been drawn out of the salmon and it will essentially "be cooked” and ready to be finely sliced.

10) We serve it with watercress, finely diced boiled new potatoes, capers and brown shrimp with a lemon vinaigrette.

A nice variation of this is to mix a pureed beetroot into the salt and sugar mix to give the salmon an awesome deep purple ring.

Dulwich Festival 2016 | 6th - 15th May

Dulwich Festival 2016

T

his year’s Dulwich Festival delivers a tremendous calendar of art, music and cultural inspiration all squeezed into ten exhilarating days in May. The 23rd staging of the Festival - the annual celebration of the arts in Dulwich and the surrounding area - once again promises a wealth of cultural entertainment and stimulation for everyone, and takes place from 6th-15th May 2016.

Doctor, comedian and health commentator Dr Phil Hammond will be bringing his ‘How to survive the NHS…and help the NHS survive’ show to Alleyn's Great Hall on 9th May. In this highly subversive comedy, Dr Phil calls for an end to top down disorganisation of the NHS, and launches his own 'bidet revolution' – from the bottom up.

Later in the week, the 2015 Christmas number one holders - the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir - will be headlining the Festival of Choirs at Holst Hall. The choir is made up of staff from across the NHS workforce - from doctors and nurses to porters and administrators.

For drama lovers, there will be plays and performances for all ages. The internationallyacclaimed Tangram Theatre Company will bring their much-lauded performance, Albert Einstein: Relativitively Speaking to this year's Festival.

Their collaborative, challenging and entertaining approach to theatre seeks to actively engage the

16 | SE21 - April 2016

audience, so be ready to join in! Garlic Theatre will enthrall a family audience with a magical display from their beautifully crafted shoe puppets in a funny, poetic and imaginative performance.

In a first for the festival, Dulwich Park will play host to a piece of interactive outdoor theatre.

When a schoolgirl needs help in solving the riddle of time travel, there’ll be clues for the audience to solve and a trail to follow, so oodles fun to be had when The Multiple Myrtle Mysteries land!

This year’s music calendar promises a number of treats. A Scandinavian Soundaround will invite anyone who can play a scale on their instrument to bring it along for a collaborative workshop in Dulwich Picture Gallery. Places will be limited, so those interested are urged to buy their tickets in advance.

Meanwhile, the Joglaresa Ensemble’s show Nuns and Roses will provide an insight into music from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, and Nedwardo and the Rumbanauts band will be

Dulwich Festival 2016 | 6th - 15th May taking up residence at The Grafton Dance Centre, playing some infectious music and encouraging us all to cast off our inhibitions and take to the floor. On Thursday May 12th, Belair House provides the perfect surroundings to relax into the rich harmonies and soothing rhythms of Gerard and the Watchmen.

A truly memorable afternoon with two outstanding and critically-acclaimed musicians is in store when violinist Levon Chilingirian OBE and pianist Carole Presland perform a thrilling programme including pieces by Handel, Grieg and Elgar. Celebrating our strong cultural exchange with Europe, the recital will take place on Sunday 15th May in the Old Library, Dulwich College.

To mark the 400th anniversary of Edward Alleyn establishing Christ's Chapel in Dulwich Village, a number of events will explore the beautiful building, its magnificent organ, the shared history of Alleyn and Shakespeare and the power of creating a legacy.

Over 200 artists will once again be throwing open the doors of their studios and homes to offer us an insight into the artistic process for Artists' Open House which will take place across both weekends of the Festival.

The Dulwich Outdoor Gallery will this year have a further addition by artist Louis Masai who will be live-painting an outdoor piece at local nature reserve, Sydenham Hill Wood. Festivalgoers will be able to watch the painting being brought to life beginning on Friday 13th May and continuing throughout the weekend.

New to the always popular walks programme will be a Dawn Chorus Walk and a Bat Walk at dusk for local wildlife enthusiasts led by the London

Wildlife Trust team - something for the early bird and the night owl!

Paul Ewen, author of the celebrated comic novel ‘Francis Plug: How To Be A Public Author’ will lend his wry wit to the festival, joining us at Belair House on Sat 14th May. This is just a flavour of the line-up for this year's Festival, with much more on offer over the 10 days of its duration, including the always popular and well-attended Festival Fair, Love West Dulwich Fair and Dulwich Park Fair all of which will provide free entertainment for all ages.

Dulwich Festival Director, Alpha Hopkins, said: “We have a truly fantastic line-up of events for everyone to enjoy, from the Scandinavian Soundaround for the musicians in your family – to interactive theatre performances for all age groups including one about Albert Einstein!

“There really is something to suit all; kick off your shoes and dance with Nedwardo and the Rumbanauts, or later in the week with Gerard and the Watchmen then stroll through the area and catch the wealth of art on offer in Artists’ Open House or just relax at one of the fantastic Fairs each weekend which are completely free and fun for all.”

Our private tour will take us round all areas of the building, including the library, and there will be an opportunity to see some of the rare items from RIBA’s unique collections.

This tells the story of Cardinal Melville who suddenly finds himself elected as the next Pope. Never the front runner and caught off guard, he panics as he’s presented to the faithful in St Peter’s Square. To prevent a world crisis, the Vatican’s spokesman calls in a psychoanalyst, who is neither religious nor committed, to find out what is wrong with the new Pope and solve the problem. But Cardinal Melville is adamant – he does not want the job!

Financial Matters

Come on ref!.. that must be income!

T

he black outfit standing in the middle of two teams wearing splendid football kits is enough to focus attention on any referee.

If you speak to any referee or like myself you are a former football referee, you will learn that referees receive more than their fair share of attention.

Often, referees receive ongoing advice on the field of play from players not concentrating on their game and from the blinkered spectator who often holds no knowledge or FA qualification in the laws of association football. Nevertheless, almost everyone, including ex-professional players often think it is their right to offer advice to the man or woman dressed in black.

Just when the referee, thinks it could not be any worse, they find themselves being pursued

by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). Some, albeit a growing number of referees have attracted the attention of HMRC. In recent years football associations have repeatedly made this position clear, “referees, instructors and assessors are not employed by the County FA and therefore are self-employed: it is the responsibility of each individual to declare their status and any income. Individuals should therefore be keeping records of match fees and expenses.”

Those referees who were unaware of this information there was a clear reminder issued in Refereeing, Vol 21 February 2014.

“As a self-employed individual, it is the responsibility of each referee to notify HMRC that they are self-employed and to report their income via self-assessment tax returns. If a referee is not already registered for self-assessment, they can register online via the HMRC website. If a referee is already registered for self-assessment and they have a unique tax reference number, then they should complete the form on the HMRC website.

Referees are recommended to register with HMRC as soon as they start to receive fees, if they anticipate making a profit.”

The clarity of the advice offered to referees is loud, clear and accurate to ensure they stay on the

28 | SE21 - April 2016

right side of HMRC. Referees cannot claim, it was like the offside or the tug of a player’s shirt they did not see in that split second on the field of play. If referees have missed it repeatedly, they can revisit the archives or seek professional help.

Some FA publications suggest referees at level five and below may not be subject to any income tax after accounting for their related expenses.

However, referees should all take personal responsibility for their own tax position. This view is echoed by a long standing referee who said, “it may be wise to suggest that all referees keep a record of the fees they earn during the season as well as their expenses as a minimum.”

Despite the clarity from the Football Associations it is quite interesting that the London and Kent Football Associations have not mailed any communications to referees about their tax status.

Moreover, there is no reference to remind referees of this position on their websites.

Some referees receiving state benefits have secured starring roles on various television programmes for fraudulent claims and a failure to disclose their refereeing income. Unfortunately, unlike some referees, the Benefits Agency and HMRC do not regard the referees’ remuneration as their weekly pocket money. Irrespective of its level, it is recognised as income from self-employment.

Whilst referees, may still have an excuse for not knowing if the ball crossed the line with the absence of technology, there is no such excuse for failing to comply with their responsibilities as a self-employed person. Readers should note that the above applies to other sports activists receiving income from their sporting pursuits.

Garden Talk

A Perfect Spring Garden

T

here is much to be said about focusing your garden on one season. If you’re trying hard to create all year interest in a small garden or within one border you will end up with all year disappointment. Unless you have a very large garden where you have space for a Winter garden, Summer borders and a Woodland Spring walk, it always pays off to focus on one season, or even to narrow it to one or two months so that at least your garden is at its peak at one particular time.

And if you need to choose one season, well, Spring, is a splendid choice. The advantage with banking on Spring is that a lot of trees and shrubs that bear beautiful Spring blossoms tend to also offer spectacular Autumn foliage (I’m thinking June berries, cherry trees, crab apples...). So you’ll get a double return on your investment. Summer will still be glorious with all the herbaceous plants coming back up, all the shrubs and trees in full leaf and summer bulbs and annuals to punctuate it all and fill the gaps. Here is a list of ingredients to turn your garden into a Spring celebration bursting out of life, colour, blossom and exhilarating scents.

For an average-sized garden in our hood, say 12meters long x 6 meters wide, you’ll need: • Some evergreen structural planting to constitute the frame of the garden.

• 3 Spring-flowering shrubs • One or two Spring-flowering climber • At least one small tree with Spring blossom or a row of 3 or 5.

• Hundreds of Spring flowering bulbs • A sprinkle of Spring fragrance Choose from the selection below.

3 Best Spring Shrubs

Cercis chinensis 'Avondale’ The bare, upright shoots of this plant are covered in small clusters of deep pink, pea-like flowers in spring, creating a spectacular display just before the leaves start to emerge.

Halesia Carolina A beautiful, deciduous tree with clusters of bellshaped white flowers that work well in semi shade, especially when underplanted with seasonal bulbs.

Exochorda x macrantha “ The Bride” Stunning pure white bloom that goes on for 6 weeks in April and May. It can be trained as a wall shrub.

34 | SE21 - April 2016

3 Best Spring Climbers • Clematis macropetala • Clematis alpine • Akebia quinata - Exquisite and underrated climber with chocolate-scented deep burgundy flowers.

3 Best Spring Scents • •

•

Osmanthus burkwodii French lavender, flowers earlier than English Lavender but blends well for a prolonged effect.

Hyacinth orientalis

3 Best Spring Blossom Trees • Orchard trees • June Berries (Amelanchier lamarckii or canadensis) • Magnolias

3 Best Spring Bulbs Use them at the base of trees or clear stemmed shrubs, in drifts or clusters and fill your pots and window boxes with them.

Tulips So many colours, shapes to choose from, there are tulips to please everybody’s tastes, some of them are even beautifully scented.

Scilla sibirica Easy peasy bulbs perfect to naturalise a section of your lawn Fritillaria meleagris Such pretty little things!

Now there is no need to long for Summer, THIS is perfect. Spring has sprung!

The Last Word – Paul Ewen Paul Ewen is the alleged* author of Francis Plug – How To Be A Public Author, which the Sunday Times called “a brilliant deranged new comic creation.” He lives in SE22 and is appearing as part of the Dulwich Festival 2016, together with Francis Plug, allegedly. * Francis Plug thinks he wrote it.

How long have you lived in the area?

Just over six years. My London experience started in Tufnell Park (NW5), which was also Francis Plug’s stomping ground, until he got the shove.

The one thing you couldn’t do without?

Dulwich Library. As a writer, it’s an invaluable resource. How To Be A Public Author, and my current novel-in-progress, have both been written with the help of books accessed there.

Do you know your neighbours?

Absolutely. Pat and his family are like extensions of our own. We have proper chats over the fence, share birthdays, and life’s ups and downs. Pat gives us strawberries and rhubarb from his garden, and I tend to talk a lot of rhubarb in return.

The most famous person you’ve met?

Without wanting to big him up, it has to be Francis Plug. He’s quite often seen in SE22, walking about, talking to himself, shouting, laughing, weeping. Jo Brand and Micky Flannigan tend to knock around these parts too, but they’re obviously not in the same sort of league.

Cafe, pub or bar?

Like Francis, I am very much a pub person. In fact, I actually do a good deal of my writing in pubs, and have even written a book dedicated to them (London Pub Reviews). Unlike the character of that book, I don’t tend to get thrown out of pubs very often, or marched out by police, or carried out on a stretcher.

What’s your favourite place for a drink?

The Plough in Lordship Lane is our regular SE22 haunt. The Crown & Greyhound in Dulwich Village was good too, until they made it harder to get inside by putting a large wooden fence in front of it.

What is your favourite shop?

Red Apple and Badger Bakery, both on Lordship Lane. Despite sometimes buying groceries from a machine with an automated voice, I prefer a chat and a friendly face. The folk at the Picture Framing shop at 350 Lordship Lane are also top-notch, and I try and support Rye Books and Chener Books when I’m not borrowing books for from Dulwich Library.

36 | SE21 - April 2016

What was the last thing you bought there?

Some milk, sweets, a paper, and a lovely fresh loaf of wholegrain bread.

Where’s your favourite place to walk?

Dulwich Wood is the sort of place you can imagine the Famous Five taking Timmy the dog for walks. It’s offers the chance to put on your rural clobber and hold a large stick. There’s also a small wooded area in Peckham Rye Park that most people tend to go round, but which is well worth going through.

The book I’m reading at the moment..

One of the chapters for my current book is set in Paris, and so I’m just finishing up The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo. It’s quite an extraordinary book with loads of insights into historical Paris. The book itself is actually credited for saving Notre Dame cathedral, which had fallen into massive disrepair in the early 1800s. There’s a copy of it going at Dulwich Library, or there will be imminently…

My secret ambition..

I’m quite sure there is a safe stashed with treasure hidden behind one of the paintings in Dulwich Picture Gallery. But which one? Finding the Dulwich Picture Gallery hidden treasure is one of my secret ambitions. galleybeggar.co.uk
