Celebrating Age Festival - The First Week

Hi everybody!

Keeping in tune with the tradition of IOctober being our busiest month of the year, we are proud to be hosts to yet another great score of events for this year's Celebrating Age Festival!

Two events on this second week of october (though it's the first of the festival for us...). The screening of Breakfast At Tiffany's and the return of Dizzy duet of Richard and Polly.

“BREAKFAST AT TIFFANYS”
With Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard and Mickey Rooney. A true classic, based on Truman Capote's book. 1961 Oscar for the song “Moon River”.

Synopsis
Struggling writer Paul Varjak moves into a New York apartment building and becomes intrigued by his pretty, quirky neighbor Holly Golightly. Holly's lifestyle confuses and fascinates Paul; in public she flits through parties with a sexy, sophisticated air, but when they're alone she changes into a sweetly vulnerable bundle of neuroses.


Thursday 8 October, 1.30-3.30pm
DIZZY
A popular return by Richard & Polly
presenting a multi instrument and
keyboard programme of hit themes from
the 60s, 70s and 80s. Listen and dance to
this popular duo.

And so, without further ado...

Friday 2 October
Lambeth Black History Month Launch

Lambeth Libraries and Archives invites you to join us for the official launch of Black HistoryMonth 2009. The evening will be a celebration of Black literature and arts, and will include performances from Lady S, a popular and well established poet, and presents on
Nomad Radio. Also appearing on the night will be Churchboyz, a gospel tribute band. Seeing them perform live is to witness a slice of black British history in action because the band serves as a reminder of the great musical heritage of Black Britons. This is an invitation only event with
