Residents gather for Telegraph Hill festival

Residents of Telegraph Hill and the surrounding area can enjoy a fortnight of cultural events following the launch of the Telegraph Hill festival yesterday.
Around 300 volunteers have been involved in the organisation of the annual festival, which was started 18 years ago by a local vicar. Over 70 concerts, workshops and exhibitions will take place at various venues in the area.
The festival is traditionally centered on a musical production, with this year’s choice being “Fiddler on the roof,” directed by local resident Sophie Robson. It will be performed at St Catherine’s church in Telegraph Hill this weekend.
Around 200 people, from young to pensioners, will be involved in the show, with professional tenor Nigel Robson playing the lead role.
Other events include a cake competition, comedy nights, a Caribbean choir workshop and a children’s art workshop, Ark in the Park, where children can make model animals using recycled materials.
Vanessa Lloyd of the Telegraph Hill festival group, which organises the events, said it was a great way to “utilize all the artistic talent in the area.”
She said: “It is really a project by the community, for the community. We have tried our hardest to provide a program which will have something for all kinds of people and ages”.
Although many of the events are free, the festival is self-funded through bar and tickets sales.
The last week of the festival will feature an “open studio” project, in which local artists around the area will open up their homes for people to visit and enjoy their works. A map will be provided for those who want to take part.
“Fiddler On the Roof” will take place this Saturday and Sunday at 4.30 and 6.30 pm.
A full-program and tickets sales can be found here

Spring Sonatas at St Augustine – 23 Mar
Spring Sonatas at St Augustine – 23 Mar:
"Local landmark, St Augustine’s Church is threatened with possible closure due to the need to stablise and repair its tower. On Friday 23rd of March at 7.30pm, locally based professional musicians Benjamin Nabarro (violin) and Fiona Dalzell (piano) will be performing a fitting selection of celebrated sonatas from Beethoven, Prokofiev, Faure and Ravel, perfect for an early Spring evening. All proceeds will go to the restoration fund and it is a wonderful opportunity to hear two outstanding musicians in remarkable surroundings. What better way to celebrate the return of Spring to One-Tree Hill and to help preserve this remarkable church for future generations? For further information and tickets (£10 Adults, £5 Children, concessions) please visit St Augustine’s website (augustineonetreehill.org.uk) or TicketSource. Wine will be available!"

Deptford High Street regeneration exhibition
Deptford High Street update – and a new high street star!: "A small exhibition has opened today at the Deptford Lounge to let folk know what Lewisham council has planned for the entire borough. Entitled Regenerating Lewisham, there are information sheets to read on all the major developments, including four pertaining to Deptford that cover Deptford Town Centre, Deptford High Street, North Deptford and Convoys Wharf.
You can also read all about it on the council's website's Regeneration pages, or pop over to the Deptford Dame's recent post about Deptford High Street improvements. Included in the plans are new paving, improved parking, and the long overdue return of a Town Centre Manager. The Dame also writes that the exhibition at the Deptford Lounge will run until 1st April, and members of the regeneration team will be on hand to answer questions on Wednesday 28th March (11am–4pm and 6.30–7.30pm)."
