BHM Events - Week One

Hello everybody!

As you all know October is Black History Month. And, as always, The Nettlefold will be one of the focal points of Lambeth Libraries all round celebrations.

Because there are so many events we have chosen to do two things:

Make the poster available online for you to see the full range of events offered
and
Do a weekly post ahead of schedule about the events we are going to host here at The Nettlefold.

And so, without further ado...

Friday 2 October
Lambeth Black History Month Launch
7pm Nettlefold Hall
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
limited seating.
