SUMMARY:Fanzine Culture From The Mod Revival with Eddie Piller and Steve Rowland.
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this fascinating in conversation with Eddie Piller and Steve Rowland\, focused on their recent publication Modzines – Fanzine Culture From The Mod Revival – an original book that documents the fast living world of fanzines. \nSunday 10 Nov  |  4.15pm \nPublished by Omnibus Press\, Modzines is illustrated in full colour with original artwork and photos\, and contains insights from leading figures in the scene including fanzine editors\, bands\, DJs\, promoters\, journalists and ‘faces’\, all of whom share previously unheard stories\, anecdotes and memories. \nModzines also contains original and rare artwork\, alongside covers and spreads from the most celebrated\, culture-defining fanzines including Direction Reaction Creation\, Extraordinary Sensations\, Roadrunner\, 48 Thrills\, Maximum Speed\, Sense of Style\, Sth Circular\, Patriotic\, Go Go\, In The Crowd\, Right Track and Beat That\, among others. \nAuthor\, Acid Jazz label owner and DJ Eddie Piller explains: “I was inspired to work in the music industry by the very first mod fanzine\, Maximum Speed. Within a year I had established my own modzine (Extraordinary Sensations) which\, by issue 12\, was selling approximately 15\,000 copies a time. The early ’80s mod world provided the perfect storm for fanzines: a completely uninterested mainstream media\, ease of production\, a proliferation of groups and an explosion of young kids all around the world meant that the concept of a home made magazine thrived. There were well over 1500 different modzine titles and this extraordinary underground culture has never been fully explored before” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

From the non-conformists who gathered around Newington Green in the 17th century to the diverse community that exists today\, it’s long been a melting pot of new ideas\, artistic endeavour and off-centre thinking and our programming is directly inspired by the mavericks and rabble-rousers who were born\, lived or worked here – Mary Wollstonecraft\, Reverend Richard Price\, Edgar Allan Poe\, Daniel Defoe\, John Berger\, Marc Bolan\, Sid Vicious & many more – who helped shape the world we know. \nWe’re a non-profit organisation and\, as we grow\, we’re generating and supporting a range of adult and child literacy projects in Hackney.

SUMMARY:ROCK AND ROLL BOOK CLUB: RIPPED AND TORN / WALLS COME TUMBLING DOWN
DESCRIPTION:ROCK AND ROLL BOOK CLUB: RIPPED AND TORN/WALLS COME TUMBLING DOWN\nTony Drayton- Ripped And Torn by Tony Drayton.

It ran for eighteen issues\, all of which are faithfully reproduced in this book. By punks and for punks\, Ripped and Torn is a fascinating document of the punk subculture and a sacred text of DIY culture. \nDaniel Rachel- Walls Come Tumbling Down charts the pivotal period between 1976 and 1992 that saw politics and pop music come together for the first time in Britain’s musical history; when ‘the political persuasion of musicians was as important as the songs they sang’. \nThrough the voices of campaigners\, musicians\, artists and politicians\, Daniel Rachel follows the rise and fall of three key movements of the time: Rock Against Racism\, 2 Tone\, and Red Wedge\, revealing how they all shaped\, and were shaped by\, the music of a generation. Composed of interviews with over a hundred and fifty of the key players at the time\, Walls Come Tumbling Down is a fascinating\, polyphonic and authoritative account of those crucial sixteen years in Britain’s history. ‘Charts punk\, 2 Tone and then Red Wedge’s subsequent battle for a multicultural Britain in a brilliant account of the period’ – Q Magazine. Daniel is in conversation tonight with Julie Hamill\, with signed books available to buy. \nRadio Generation- Excellent punk\, new wave\, post punk and proto punk concept act\, handpicked to compliment tonight’s books and entertain you beyond a bookish bedtime!

SUMMARY:Louder Than Words with Horace Panter
DESCRIPTION:Daniel will be in-conversation with the Specials original member\, author and artist Horace Panter. \ns \nHorace Panter\nBorn in Croydon in 1953 Sir Horace Gentleman Panter met Jerry Dammers while doing an art degree at Coventry University. They\, together with Lynval Golding\, were the founding members of the iconic British ska band\, The Specials\, setting out to change the world by making people ‘dance as well as think’.  As bass player\, Horace continues to tour with The Specials\, including this year in the UK\, Europe\, Japan\, Australia and the USA. Although better known as ‘that guy in The Specials who plays bass’\, Horace is also a professional artist and since 2008\, has exhibited throughout the UK and in Singapore\, New York and Los Angeles. \nPop Culture informs both his audio and his visual aesthetic\, hence his giant ‘cassette’ paintings\, each meticulously researched to give and portray accurate information on its place in musical and cultural history. His ‘Americana’ series: paintings of street signs and diners\, relate back to his adolescent years when he was heavily influenced by American cultural exports in terms of art\, music and literature. What is left out of the painting is as considered as what is included\, making them highly stylized motifs of the American cityscape. \nHorace has also worked on a number of professional collaborations with brands\, including Fred Perry\, Dr Martens\, Club Wembley\, Sheaffer Inc.\, Teenage Cancer Trust\, Amy Winehouse Foundation\, Strummerville\, Blues Magazine UK\, MUSACK\, Stone Foundation and GPO Retro.
