Save Shoreditch!
What Is Happening?
Ken Livingstone in his ‘London Plan’ has decided that this area should be taken over by a forest of towers comprising nearly two million sq ft of new City offices. He has now handed control of 13 acres of land to private developers Hammerson and Ballymore. There has been no public involvement in an overall plan for the area produced by either the GLA or Hackney and Tower Hamlets councils.
Who Are We?
A growing group of people who live or work in the area, tenants' and residents' associations, small businesses and anyone with an interest or history in this neighbourhood. We say there should be immediate public involvement in the planning of the Shoreditch and Brick Lane area and that any development should respect the local environment and the real needs of the community.

Math Jhonson - Part 1.
I recently caught up with Matt at the Lazarus building, the former Victorian department store close to London’s square mile that serves as his company’s headquarters. Although it was a sunny, if chilly, winter’s day outside, inside TheThe’s womb-like basement studio, all was hot, dark and spooky. Oil lamps turned and incense burned as small red lights from the various banks of equipment blinked on and off through the smokey darkness. Matt, in cheerful mood, was busy sitting at the mixing desk compiling Silent Tongue, the first volume of The The’s film music for CineOla, the French soundtrack company newly acquired by Lazarus. I sat at the back of the room on an old leather sofa sipping a mug of fresh coffee listening, watching and waiting for him to take a break. I should explain, whilst I’m sitting here waiting, that I first became aware of Matt’s music whilst assistant editor at Cinema Magazine in the early 1980’s. I’d often listen to his early albums over the office stereo system as foreign films played silently on my nearby video monitor. I was struck then by the cinematic nature of his music and surprised that it hadn’t been used in more films. Hopefully this new release will remedy that. Visit Web Site : www.thethe.com

ALBUM OF THE MONTH
ADDMX Records International 2006 - 2010.
Heidi Berry - Antology
Heidi Berry:
Songs and vocal style are in the the tradition of the 70’s/80’s singer-songwriter. Recent parallels have been sited as Beth Orton and David Gray. Stylistically her work has ranged from acoustic folk-based sounds to harder-edged electric guitar. Her newest work is based around piano and layered vocals.Heidi was born in Boston, USA and brought up in London, England in the 1970’s. She is, by her own admission, “always somewhere between two countries”. She acheived a degree in Fine Art at Hornsey School of Art and was a painter and printmaker for several years before deciding her real calling was music.iHer first solo release came in the form of a mini-album on Creation Records: Firefly (1987). The full-length Below The Waves was released in 1989. She toured the UK and Europe with label mates Primal Scream and appeared at the Albert Hall with The Violent Femmes.
Her introduction to the 4AD label came in 1991, when she featured on This Mortal Coil’s third album, Blood, singing a Rodney Crowell song, ‘Til I Gain Control. She then went on to release 3 solo albums under the 4AD banner: Love (1991), Heidi Berry (1993), and Miracle (1996). A fourth 4AD album, the retrospective Pomegranate – An Anthology was released in 2001. As a 4AD artist, Heidi toured extensively in the UK, Europe and the USA. Her songs have appeared on episodes of Dawson’s Creek and Baywatch. She has also composed soundtracks for two BBC television documentaries.
Last year, Heidi sent herself “back to school” and enrolled on the songwriting course run by Ray Davies at The Arvon Foundation. She found this experience, “renewing, inspiring and the hardest work I’ve ever done”. The result is, Heidi is currently recording a collection of new songs. She says, “I’ve got about 40 songs now. How and when they will be released, I haven’t the faintest idea. I just know I need to do this with all my heart.”
Heidi Berry teaches Songwriting and Live Performance at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music. She lives on the south coast of England with her partner and a cranky black cat.
