TOSOTP 3rd birthday celebration

many thanx 2 those who made it to our short notice celebration of our 3rd year of business. although the official birthday is not til aug 6, we joined forces with hackney GT for sum cycles & olympian summer vibes. let the games begin.

royal thanx

not much online action of late. still coming down from the jubilee heights of last weekend. all things considered it was a diamond in the rough of a wet weekend. thanx to the wilton way cafe, london fields radio, pom pom factory, violet cakes & borough wines. The maximum attitude of gratitude however goes out to miss eleni thoma, the soul & heartbeat of the street! x

DANCING THROUGH THE DECADES; 1980's

the 1980's gets the treatment today, our jubilee inspired decade of choice. the 80's was about excess! cocaine, big hair, loud attire & killer tunes. stay attuned for a daily dose of 80's excess.

DANCING THROUGH THE DECADES; 1970'S

today we pay tribute to the 1970's. a decade of social progress & cultural change, in addition to nhs spectacles & punk rock. how do you remember the 70's?

DANCING THROUGH THE DECADES; 1960'S

today we pay homage to the decade that was the 1960's. what do they say.... if you remember the 60's you weren't there? what are your reflections on the swinging 60's?

DANCING THROUGH THE DECADES; 1950's

only 7 days til the wilton way diamond jubilee street party & 7 decades to inspire what to wear. as such we will profile each decade day by day in countdown to the event & today we raise our glass to the 1950's!. vans were not around in the 50's so we're a bit lost. what are your memories(?) & associations with the 1950's from fashion, film, footwear, eyewear, music & culture?

DIAMOND JUBILEE CRAFT WORKSHOP

momentum is building for our diamond street party now 2 weeks away. 

we are hosting an open workshop to work on crafts for decorating the street this tuesday may 22 at wilton's cafe from 530-9. big thanx 2 the pom pom factory for huge contributions!

1952-2012; Wilton Way Diamond Jubilee Street Party

following the resounding success that was last year's royal wedding street party, local residents & establishments of the wilton way E8 area are happy to announce the diamond jubilee street party!

we are pleased to invite 1 & all to to join in on what is emphasised as a community event whereby we celebrate the last 60 years of hackney life & the queens reign. again the idea will be to DIY & encourage you to bring your own tables, chairs, food, friends and family and enjoy a day of community togetherness for all ages. there will be council approved road closures, this year from the hackney empire through to violet cakes, whereby street decorations lining the srteet will house the festive atmosphere.  

we will attempt to divide the street into era's spanning the decades & as such designate areas by period based on fashion, culture, food & music. we encourage every1 to dress in reference to their favourite era from the 50's til present & get into the spirit! 

we would love to hear from the local community about their experience of hackney over the last 60 years & instore we will be allocating an area for display of coronation memorabilia, souvenirs & photography to capture the memories & the moments. we also appeal to local artists, musicians, performers or anyone with ideas how we can bring people together in a creative & interactive atmosphere. workshops will be held in local establishments to create decorations & brainstorm ideas for the theme & ways to illustrate life locally over 60 years of queen elizabeth at the throne.

we only have 1 month today til the event & would be grateful for any fund-raising ideas or donated fabrics & decorations to help bring the street to life.

for more info or if you have any ideas, questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact Eleni from the Wilton Way Café at eleni@londonfieldsradio.com or myself at theothersideofthepillow@hotmail.co.uk
