Book Swap Meetup 📚📚📚

Basic Ideas: 🌞 📚☕ Any books sitting there collecting dust? Some holiday gifts? Or it’s a book that has changed your life that you want to share? Feel free to bring book(s) to discuss or swap, we usually have more books than people in the end, so feel free to pop along just to have a chat as well. Aiming for every 4 weeks book swap meetup. Note: The event is free to attend, so the only cost for you will only be buying a drink at the location, so coffee/tea/beer etc.

CLOTHES MAKING & ALTERING WORKSHOP

**Bookable via our website ➡️** [https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/clothes-making-altering-workshop-eve-6-11-weeks-2/](https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/clothes-making-altering-workshop-eve-6-11-weeks-2/) **⋆⋆⋆** Do you want to jump into making your own clothes but have never used a pattern? Do you wish to copy a beloved piece of clothing? Would you like to learn how to adjust your own pattern to fit just you? Learn how to take body measurements, read and alter a commercial pattern to fit, lay out and cut fabric and construct a finished garment to a high standard using one of our Janome 525s or Bernina 1008 series sewing machines. During the sessions of this small group of learners you will gain confidence and improve any sewing skills you already have. If you have never used a machine, we can guide you through making a simple garment from a purchased pattern. Bring your own pattern or use one of our small selection. If you have sewing experience but want to start creating your own patterns, you can learn how to create a bespoke piece of clothing. You can also bring a piece of clothing to alter or fix. We supply the basics and the calico you will use to make a ‘toile’ (an inexpensive mock up) to save you ruining your chosen final fabric. Along the way, talented tutor and seamstress will teach you lots of techniques and tips to ramp up your sewing passion. This is a perfect class if you have been teaching yourself so far, or if your last project was made a long time ago at school. **Suitable for:** Suitable for beginners, enjoyable for those with experience. A good level of English and basic math skills are useful. **Next start date:** Check our website for more dates: [https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/clothes-making-altering/](https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/clothes-making-altering/)

Classic Car Boot Sale : Kings Cross

Musical Amy Walking Tour With House Wine & Jade Tunes

"Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen” she said. How else do you think she wrote those lyrics? Immerse yourself with us fellow music lovers into the heart of Amy's beloved musical home - Camden - enshrined with devoted artwork and Amy melodies that still linger today. Led by a life long DJ, song writer and musicologist, we'll retrace her footsteps on those world famous musical hall of fame littered Camden streets that will give glimpses into her extraordinary journey from a retro music loving teenager to five Grammy awards - many told effortlessly by her lyrics and rich blend of eclectic music genres Infused with deep expressive vocals, storytelling and emotional depth yet witty lyrics, her addictive music merged elements of soul, reggae, rhythm n blues, rock n roll, hiphop and of course jazz - creating a distinctive contemporary sound that could easily fit into the 30s musical Jazz era yet still sound different from all the autotuned mainstream which she despised nearly as much as the Spice Girls themselves. Many fakes wearing their **Fuck Me Pumps** tried to imitate her but failed miserably (though I have to admit I do like a few Duffy tracks!). And on that distinct voice George Michael: "Amy was, in my opinion, the most soulful vocalist this country has ever seen" In her own words paraphrased "Camden Town ain’t gonna be burning down baby" during this musical escapade. Without giving away too much- it will be led by a life long music person entwined with the local Camden music scene since a kid. We'll visit iconic spots central to both her life and the long music history of Camden itself including venues where she performed, her homes, the market and that section that got burned down in the fire, and lastly mutiple areas showcasing artwork in her honour. But it would be no real tour without visiting and avin a drink in the musical rock n roll pubs where she gigged, worked behind the bar, hung out and drank her unquie signiture cocktail. From what I remember (we were all heavily toxicated by 4AM [**what is it about men eh?**] but we never went **Rehab**) those were crazy times and **round midnight** I'll share some stories. We'll rock out to some Amy tunes later - weed free - in one of her favourate "Irish" boozers where she also did one of her first ever gigs - maybe I'll play **a song for you.** It is said that the most talented and unique people in the world are some of the most flawed - that was certainly true in her case but it wasn't always that way, Like many of us working class North Londoners, she had a very ordinary humble "street" upbringing infused with **best friends** and music but there was more; undiluted creativity, intense emotional depth and a rare unpretentious humble non-materialistic brassy personality to boot. But as a former British Prime Minister famously said "events, dear girl, events" conspired ultimately to lead to her young death that befell great iconic artists before her including Monroe, Elvis, Prince and Whitney. She was only 27 but in a superficial fickle world that like many deep people she was not meant for, it was almost inevitable.. As Roxy Music's Bryan Ferry who she was a fan of once sung: "Love is a Drug". Indeed; we'll visit the house where that most dangerous aphrodisiac potion in the world took it's final and most potent toll ending with the sound of her last ever musical heart beat... We will finish in a late night bar with a DJ, young energetic friendly singing and dancing party crowd. So if you love music then will be lit. I will send out my number to attendees half an hour before the event in case of issues finding us. Desperately needing Rehab: Lucas
