The Hawth – better than the O2 Arena?

August 5th, 2009 · No Comments · Life

The Performing Rights Society (PRS) have issued a press release which ‘reveals’ the 100 best music venues in the country.  The list is topped by the Southbank Centre in London, and Crawley’s Hawth Theatre is at number 69, above such places as the Brixton Academy, the Roundhouse, the Carling Apollo, Manchester and the Cliffs Pavilion, [...]

Crawley Question Time:part two

January 24th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Life, Politics

This second installment is not about the issues discussed on the programme, but just what you might call the human interest angle, and some glimpses behind the scenes which may (or may not) put some aspects of the show in a different light. Be warned, this a long one: sorry for that.
Which reminds me: must [...]

Crawley Question Time: part one

January 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · Life, Politics

That’s ominous isn’t it?  “part one”…   It is not that I intend to go on and on at such great length that it requires two parts, though I can’t promise that I won’t, it is just that I want to separate comments on the content of the show and a description of the mechanics of [...]

Question Time

January 22nd, 2009 · 9 Comments · Life, Politics

Despite a personal feeling that the programme has seen much better days, I am still quite chuffed to be going along to Crawley’s Hawth theatre to see Question Time get recorded tomorrow.

Mela Photos

August 7th, 2007 · No Comments · Politics

Does anyone have any photos of the Crawley Mela which show the Wealden UAF/Crawley Campaign Against Racism stall or which show all the crowds wearing UAF/Unite badges?
If so, are you willing to let us have a copy for future UAF leaflets or the website? No payment (we are saving funds for campaigning) but full [...]

UAF at the Mela

August 1st, 2007 · 4 Comments · Politics

The Wealden UAF had a stall at the Crawley Mela over the weekend, shared with the Crawley Campaign Against Racism and the Crawley Interfaith Network. The intention for the UAF was to raise awareness of this new organisation and maybe increase membership.

Nuru Kane

July 15th, 2007 · No Comments · Music

I just realised that Nuru Kane, who I enjoyed enormously yesterday, played in Crawley recently and I missed it.
At the time I had not heard his stuff and didn’t know how good he was, and it was bank holiday weekend when we had Ami staying just before having the grandchild so it would have been [...]

Crawley Mela

July 30th, 2006 · No Comments · Life, Music

This weekend was the Crawley Mela at the Hawth theatre.
I think the crawley Mela is a bit unusual. Traditionally a Mela is an Asian festival, and tends to feature mostly culture from the Indian sub-continent. Our one tends to spread its net a bit wider. The organisers made a point of saying [...]

Think Floyd

January 13th, 2006 · No Comments · Music

Jayne is good to me – she came with me to see Think Floyd at the Hawth tonight, even though she really does not like Pink Floyd. At Live 8 she would happily have gone home after seeing Robbie Williams and skipped Floyd and the Who (but only over my dead body!) but while we [...]

Just call me shallow…

January 12th, 2006 · No Comments · Politics

I went to the council meeting tonight, and boy was I wrong about a couple of things.
First of all, the gasworks site is not withdrawn completely, but deferred until a planning judicial review thingy is complete for the North-East sector.
In reality this means indefinitely, but strictly speaking it would mean that is hasn’t gone [...]
