One
Eye Grey events: One Eye Grey is a twenty first century penny dreadful packed with scary London stories. It comes out several times a year and with every new edition there are a series of events including film showings, bands, talks and London walking tours.
Throughout
the year though other activities take place linked in with local fetes
or carnivals. Events are usually free but often require booking* as we
don't wish to repeat the incident on the St James' walk when it dawned
on the tour guide that more than fifty people approaching Parliament
does actually constitute a mob and is, hence, illegal. *Booking is a simple matter of e-mailing penny (at) fandmpublications.co.uk and stating your intention of turning up and how many you'll be bringing. |

| For the new year we'd thought of broadening our
horizons and
bringing more people together. So to that end we have created London
Peculiars,
or to give it the full title peculiar
London walks and strange talks.
This is a meet up group which will bring together a number of London's more interesting and, well, frankly peculiar talks and other events in one spot. The events cover the same remit as One Eye Grey (London folklore, literature, occult and stories) and will involve the South East London Folklore Society, the Liars' League, Treadwells Bookshop, the Moot and many other London gems. Interview on Resonance FM London Lost Steps series.
Previous events recordings Including Dark waters, Let's go down the Strand, Absolutely Lovett and Sacred turf and holy places. |
As January gives over and we pounce into the year of the tiger it seemed time to get on with activity so on Thursday 25th February we have a free tour called I never thought it would happen!
Find out how some air raid shelters changed south London forever and a building that changed the world as well as a man who weighed it. Weighed the world that is not Holy Trinity church. Discover the links between Mrs. Slocombe and Graham Greene as well as enjoying the usual blend of daft folklore, song references and London history. This is not any common tour, this is a Clapham Common tour featuring sects & drugs and moments of madness.
February 19th there is the Pullens spoken word festival and on March 25th a rather special evening at Newington Causeway featuring all manner of top performers. |
