Trinity Laban Conservatoire is looking for folk dancers and musicians to take part in three Big Dance Picnic events across Lewisham in June and July. Anyone interested in participating should contact Louisa Pestell at l.pestell@trinitylaban.ac.uk.  

Following the success of last year’s competition, January 18th saw the launch of Rock the House 2012.  I am inviting solo artists, bands and music venues from Lewisham Deptford to enter and be in with a chance of winning some fantastic prizes.

The competition was founded by Mike Weatherley MP, with the joint aims of supporting the UK’s live music sector and raising the profile of issues surrounding intellectual property rights.  Its patrons include rock legends Alice Cooper and Deep Purple’s Ian Gillan.

Prizes on offer include music equipment, a chance to play at a high profile music festival and the opportunity to mix with the great and the good of the music industry.
