You may have seen him playing American fiddle with the New Deal String Band, (which was started by his dad), or the Long Hill Ramblers or Irish fiddle with the late and much missed Maggie Boyle. Ben has also written the standard work in English on Swedish Fiddle music! Expect him to show he’s no slouch on other styles too. And he sings as well!

Tuesday 7 September: A Curious Absence of Chickens:

A journal of life, food & recipes from Puglia

by Sophie Grigson (Live Stream Event)

7:30pm - 8:30pm. ‘Puglia is a region I wanted to get to know intimately, to understand culture, life, history and geography, reflecting through the prism of the food that’s put on the tables of locals and tourists, too. I’m reminded of my 20-year old self, scribbling in notebooks as I first travelled through Italy’s south, only this time I’m back to stay.’ After her children grew up and left home, Sophie Grigson found herself living alone. About to turn 60, she took the decision to sell or give away most of her belongings, to pack up her car and to drive to Puglia on her own to start a new life. In a part of Italy where she didn’t know anyone, having last visited the region 40 years ago, this narrative book of food writing, stories and recipes brings to life the region, its food and the local characters that she meets along the way. This is a book about courage, hope, new horizons and, above all, delicious food.

For the massage, you will need something for your babies to lie on and oil to help with the massage. You might like to use a towel or a blanket but do bear in mind this may get oil on it. As the sessions are floor-based and the room will be warm, please dress in comfortable layers. Any babies attending will need to have had their 6/8 week postnatal check. Just let us know before the baby massage course.

Tuesday 14 September: An Evening with Dame Joan Bakewell (Live Stream Event)

7:30pm - 8:30pm. When Joan Bakewell, Labour Peer, author and famous champion of the older people's right to a good and fruitful life, decided that she could no longer remain in her old home, she had to confront what she calls 'the next segment of life.' So much of the world is on the move - voluntarily or not - and so many people are living to a great old age. In using the tale of her own life, Joan Bakewell tells us a story of our times and how she is learning to live to the sound and tune of The Tick of Two Clocks: the old and the new. Joan Bakewell says: ‘Old age is no longer a blip in the calendar, just a few declining years before the end. Old age is now a major and important part of life: It should command as much thought - even anxiety - as teenagers give to exam results and young marrieds how many children to have . . . I am in my 80s and moving towards the end of my life. But in a more actual sense, I have moved from my dear home of 50 odd years into another . . . the home where I will be until the end. Writing here of how it has happened is in a sense a reconciliation with what cannot be avoided, but which can be confronted’.

Wednesday 22 September: Journeys in The Deep City;

Tom Chivers discusses his new book, London Clay 7pm - 8:30pm

London Clay is a book about the city beneath the city, the landscape long buried underneath the sprawling metropolis: it is also a personal account of growing up in London, and of overcoming loss through the layered stories of the capital. Chivers explores concealed pathways and explores lost islands, following phantom streams and hiking post-industrial landscapes to examine our connection to place and to celebrate urban edgelands. A unique blend of memoir, adventure, geological study and lyrical reflection. https://dulwichbooks.co.uk/
