Save Water­loo Library

I made these posters to help a friend campaign to stop Water­loo Library being closed down and sold off (there is defin­itely no resemb­lance inten­ded to a certain range of paper­back books . . ). Lambeth coun­cil is making devast­at­ing cuts to their librar­ies after having their budget cut. This govern­ment have been slowly and delib­er­ately destroy­ing every public service they can, if it doesn’t make their rich busi­ness friends rich­er, they don’t care. Librar­ies are incred­ibly import­ant, and the poorer the area the more vital they are. Even with my family, who did have books at home, there is no way I would have the educa­tion I have now if I hadn’t have been constantly read­ing books from the public library grow­ing up.

East­er House Gig

Last week­end I went to a house gig in South London. These things seem to be few and far between in London, because people tend to be pressed for living space. Hugh, the host, played, and the other bands were all vari­ous config­ur­a­tions of my friend Nicol from Sussex and three of his friends from Bris­tol and London. One of the resid­ents of the house is a little girl, who helped out by find­ing a toy drum and a stick from the garden, and join­ing in as a second drum­mer while wear­ing a prin­cess dress (while jump­ing up and down on a tram­po­line too when Roxy played in the garden). All gigs need more of that. (Also, some­thing is weird with Band­camp – the audio controls don’t appear in the preview, and you can’t centre them
