What a queue for the book signing and posters, but we all had glasses of Trumans in our hands, so were well catered for! The book was pored over by my 8yr old neighbour, fascinated by how Brick Lane, which he knows well, looked in the ‘old days’. It’s amazing value for money.

You are amazing!

Three cheers for Phil Maxwell: for his passion and compassion, his vision, his sense of fun, and most of all for his understanding of the lives of us ordinary human beings.

And three cheers for Spitalfields Life Books for making it possible for us to have this beautifully produced record of the Brick Lane I first knew and loved, and of its evolution into something today that is so different.

A beautiful book – at an extraordinary bargain price of only £10.

Again, I really wanted to come … but the Fitwilliam Quartet were performing less than 5 minutes walk from my front door [ Haydn, a new commission, Verdi & the Beethoven “Razumovsky” ]
ONE of these days, I’ll find an event that doesn’t clash ….
But, I can still buy the book, of course!
