As time inevitably passes, we become only too aware of our own mortality and the relative blink of an eye that is our existence on this planet. Our mind drifts towars our old age and it is always prudent to be prepared.

With this in mind, a show of Granny force is in order. And our dear friend Hannah Terry is just the one to lead the way.

On the 27th February, she will be leading the march that is Grannycon.

Break out the sherry, bingo and crochet needles and we'll show London who the true heroes of our society are.

Our resident Chewbacca of Malaka, Stefano, will be hosting a Balkan Beats night at Passing Clouds that very same evening to which the Grannies will retire to for a nice cup of tea and a sit down.

Another addition to this 'what our friends are up to' section is a film being shown at the ICA. In Moving To Mars, the director of Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, Mat Whitecross, follows two Burmese families as they make an epic journey from their refugee camp in Thailand to their new home and life in Sheffield.

Look out for the title sequence from our friend Marc Knapton also of recent Ian Dury-related fame.

22nd January - 3rd February

Tickets are £9/£8 concessions/£7 ICA members/£5 for everyone on Monday

To conclude this section on a similarly sophisticated air to that which commenced it, a special announcement to highlight the anticipated return of Madam George's Gin Palace, The speakeasy that speaks to all us cats.

With a new stellar line-up, a new range of cocktails involving copious amounts of, well, gin and some super, secret, special surprises in stall, The Gin Palace will return on the 6th March.

Join the group to stay one step ahead...
