"Have I the Right?" was the debut single and biggest hit of the English band #theHoneycombs. It was composed by #KenHoward and #AlanBlaikley, who had made contact with the Honeycombs, a London-based group, then playing under the name of the Sheratons, in the Mildmay Tavern in the Balls Pond Road in #Islington, where they played a date. Howard and Blaikley were impressed by the group's lead vocalist, Dennis D'Ell, and the fact that they had a female drummer.

"We’ve got 250,000 residents in Islington. How many know we’re a borough of sanctuary? Probably not that many. I want all 5,000 people who work for Islington council to know we’re a borough of sanctuary,” Councillor Sheila Chapman

#Bunhill 2 Energy Centre, that uses waste #Heat extracted from #LondonUnderground #Tunnels to heat water, boosts it with a #HeatPump (with backup gas-fired #CHP ) and injects the hot water into the Bunhill #DistrictHeating system.
This is a joint project between #Islington Council and #TfL and the hope is that it can be replicated elsewhere in London.

My friend is a graduate engineer, but his day job is mainly spreadsheets and meetings. He's looking for some practical, hands-on activities for his free time.
Can anyone recommend any #RepairCafe, #maker space, #hacklab type places in the North London / #Islington / #kingscross area that he should check out?

tribunemag.co.ukJeremy Corbyn Goes Back to the GrassrootsAt the launch of Islington North's first 'People's Forum', Jeremy Corbyn speaks to Tribune about organising community campaigns outside the Labour Party — and responds to the latest international crises.
From 1950, an invite to a reception at Islington Town Hall, with a running buffet and entertainment provided by Ethel Revnell (if she can make it), the tenor Henry Lord, and "The Voice of Variety" Ronnie Ronalde (he could have been ahead of his time and called himself “the Two Ronnies”) #Islington
