Good morning! For Tuesday we have collected 12 free events taking place in and around London. Here are some ideas:

• free themed tour exploring the realism of the landscapes of the National Gallery collection (1pm)
• a free 10-minute talk/introduction to “The Comte de Vaudreuil: Courtier and Collector” display (The National Gallery, 4pm)
• if you like music there is a free gig with singer-pianist Liam Grundy who performs honky-tonk blues with guitar and bass (National Theatre, 5.45pm)
  I am particularly addicted to his Richmond song. What a tune! Nice guitars & vocals. Reminds me of 10 CC’s “I’m not in love” at a point (2′:03”)! (G.P.)

Have a happy Tuesday!

To get the full list of events and all their details for Tuesday, 24 April 2012, or to make plans for any future dates please scroll down to the calendar.

LIAM GRUNDY AT FOREST ROOTS

Dear Forest Folk

We can now tell you that our surprise guest this month is Liam Grundy. Liam plays a bluesy mix of Americana and country blues and has gigged all over Europe and the States both solo and with his band. Check him out at http://www.liamgrundy.com and listen to him at http://www.myspace.com/liamgrundy  

I’m sure Chris will be getting up to play a few numbers with him too. Also we are very pleased to announce that tenstringfever who gave us such a fantastic set last time will also be playing: http://www.tenstringfever.com  

Jane Wheeler has promised to sing a couple of numbers and the Flats Family band will be there as usual so it’s sure to be a fun packed night.

So that’s Friday 24th September at the Function Room, Forest Gate Hotel, Godwin Road, Forest Gate, E7 0LW

Stay forever young

Jenny and Caroline
