In April Jane Bom-Bane brought her pedal harmonium and treated us to two enchanting, aquatic-themed songs. We were given a brief history of the more experimental aspects of early photography by artist Becky Edmunds and shown some of her stunning pieces that combine stitch-work with B&W found photographs. (Check out her work at becky-edmunds.com). The Depot’s Robert Senior gave a not-for-the-squeamish talk on Video Nasties of the Eighties with clips of axe-wielding, brain-eating, eyeball piercing psychopaths along with two uncensored clips of Mary Whitehouse. Our final speaker Alex Leith came fully dressed as a yokel to take us through the baffling, contradictory and hilarious rules of Dwile Flonking which is played annually at the Lewes Arms. Alex’s talk involved a spot of audience participation as well as your host having a sopping beer-towel (dwile) flonked at him with a large stick (driveller). Next Dwile Flonking event is May 4th at the Lewes Arms…not to be missed!

It was a memorable night and slightly over-capacity so I promise here and now to ensure everyone is guaranteed a seat for all future events there!

We’re back May 8th with Julia Winkler and, all the way from Worthing, Adrian Sensile and Speakeasy host Pete Fij.
