Lambeth Country Show 2020
The annual Country Show in Brixton's Brockwell Park will not be happening this year because of the virus outbreak. However, happily, the Lambeth Show will be doing some online content, including some made specially for the event, like this clip from a performance that took place in Azawala Gallery in Brixton on the 29th February, in which Djina Jones and Pete Phillips from Shamha are joined by Pete Goodall on guitar and Poet Lisa Lore. The event was the opening of an exhibition of paintings by Jamaican artist Jos Peart, at which some of London's finest poets performed work inspired by the paintings. Lisa is reciting her poem 'Chosen', inspired by Jos Peart's painting of the same name.
More information about the online Lambeth Country Show will be posted as soon as dates are confirmed. Watch this space. Best wishes to everyone at this difficult time.
