Bermondsey Wall

Matt and I are going to play along to Bermondsey Wall, a silent film made in approximately 1932 about Bermondsey in London. It's scheduled for the end of May this year and I think we'll be performing it at the London Metropolitan Archives. I'm watching it now and thinking about the sections.

Silent film music at the London Metropolitan Archives

I've just arranged to do the accompaniment for a silent film at the LMA. I've got a disc of films to choose from. We're going to do it in late May.

I just had lunch with Lydia Pappas from the LMA. I went to see their new exhibition space afterwards. I noticed they had two original prints by Edward Bawden hung on the walls. Nice linocuts. This is one of them. It's of Borough market. I walk through Borough market each morning on the way to work. I guess that's Southwark Cathedral in the background.
