Ladyfest, the global independent arts festival promoting and celebrating women’s creativity and counter-culture, turns 10 years old this year. To commemorate a decade of Ladyfests in cities across the world including Brisbane, Olympia, Singapore, Jakarta, San Paolo and New Orleans, we want Ladyfest Ten to be the biggest and best yet. Ladyfest Ten takes place from Friday 12th – Sunday 14th at various North London venues, and will involve iconic and emerging female talent from every field.

All profits from the festival will be donated to the wonderful charity, Eaves. Visit their website for more info.

The literary events will be taking place in both The Horatia and The Holloway Resource Centre (both within easy walking distance of each other and Highbury & Islington tube and overground stations). Tickets will be on sale from the Ladyfest Ten website from Monday 27th September. Day passes for the festival will be £12.50 each in advance, and as well as the literary event below, will include entry to an extravaganza of other events, including art, craft, comedy and cabaret (but excludes the music events).

Sad day for a style icon... Lily Allen

My heroine for her straight talkin' lyrics that reflect my own viewpoint on the world, her drive and outspokenness and great sense of style has sadly announced the loss of her baby. 

Lily Allen, here are a few words for you...

Yes, times are tough,
and the world looks bleak,
Your anger bubbles and
Sorrows weep

Take comfort in the love
You'll find
In each and every
Woman's mind
