Weds 15th October 2008

Upcoming: Mon 20th Oct - Can Britain run on green energy?

I saw Neil Crumpton speak about a month ago, outlining his scheme for 100% green energy for the UK (i.e. not just the electricity). He was a great speaker, so, through Friends of the Earth Birmingham I've invited him to come speak here.

It's taking place at Carrs Lane Church Centre which is opposite Moor St Station, just along from Selfridges (map ).

There's also be a chance to find out what's happening about the future of energy in Birmingham (from me!)

It's this coming Monday (20th October) from 7pm for a 7:30 start, and it's free. Invite your friends.

Richard Herring

Part of the Birmingham Comedy Festival, which I have neglected this year. I booked this well in advance, as I was pretty sure it would sell out.

His show this year is "The Headmaster's Son" - all about his youth at school near Cheddar Gorge and was a good as you'd expect (i.e. very good). He seems like a nice guy too. He's also got DVD of some of his previous shows, so I managed to pick up Someone Like Yoghurt which I've seen live, and also The Twelve Tasks of Hercules which I haven't!

Do go see him if you get the chance, you can find a list of upcoming gigs at RichardHerring.com along with his blog , which he's written every single day since November 2002! Unlike me, whose posts seem to be getting sparser!

The Corner Shop

The Corner Shop by Foursight Theatre is set in a variety of shops at a variety of times, including a Persian owned newsagents in the 1980's, a Jamaican food store in the 1970's, an English owned general store in the 1960's and a new Polish shop in the current day. There's also a fantastically decorated sweetshop - like something from a fairy tale, and we get to visit the living rooms of several of the owners. The audience follows the performance around a variety of shops, street and rooms, constructed at The Public in West Brom.

I really enjoyed this performance, which gave an insight into the lives behind the corner shop.
