December Book Club and future books

Vox Sheffield — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 09:57:54 +0000

Hello All!

Thanks to those who came to Book Club last week. If you weren’t there, we missed you! We had a good chat about ‘The Tuppenny Hat Detective’. Definitely worth a read, particularly because of the historical picture it paints of life in post-war Sheffield.

December Book Club

We decided on the books for the next few months. Our December Book Club is on Wednesday 8th December (2nd wednesday in December as usual) 7.30-9pm at Crucible Corner and we’ll be chatting about ‘Sister’ by Rosamund Lupton. It’s a current Richard and Judy Book Club book and we chose it because it has a snowy scene on the front and it looked wintry! You can get it pretty reasonably for £3.49 via the Richard and Judy website if you click here or through amazon for £2.99 if you click here.

Future Books

Here are the books up until March, chosen by Book Club members last week. Get them on your Christmas list!

Wednesday 12th January
‘The Fingersmith’ by Sarah Waters

Wednesday 9th February
‘The Long Song’ by Andrea Levy

Wednesday 9th March
‘No & Me’ by Delphine de Vigan

Look forward to seeing people on 8th December!

Peace in the Park Poetry Fundraiser

Vox Sheffield — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 08:16:50 +0000

Friday night saw Cafe Euro once more transformed into a haven of spoken word antics, this time for a Peace in the Park fundraiser hosted by Wordlife. With acts from nights such as The Shipping Forecast, Speakeasy and VOX, it was bound to be a busy night. The room was packed with some of the best spoken word Sheffield has produced, with close to twenty open mic slots available and headline slots provided by Stan Skinny, Matt MacAteer and Matt Black. Keep an eye out for future fundraising events, and make sure you keep the 12th June free for the festival itself; you won’t find a better (or bigger) free-entry arts event in Sheffield.

“The Peace in the Park festival promotes peace and understanding by bringing together communities through artistic, musical and vocal expression. Peace in the Park is organised by a group of artists, musicians, students, events organisers and other everyday Sheffield folk, working together in a not for profit collective.

The 2010 festival is set to go ahead on Saturday 12th June, and will be the seventh Peace in the Park, which each year collects money for nominated good causes. The festival is funded by money raised in advance, so look out for these fundraisers to help make the festival happen, and have a good old knees up too!” (Taken from the www.peaceinthepark.org.uk)
