Exploring the local supper club scene<br />
Welcome to this sixth issue of <strong>Village</strong> <strong>Raw</strong>. We originally wrote a couple of lines<br />
about Brexit here, but when we came back to it the next day what we’d written<br />
already seemed woefully out of date. Needless to say, when you read this<br />
things are going to be different – in one way or another…<br />
One change to note, which you may have spotted on the cover, is that this<br />
issue is covering April to June. It’s not been a quick or easy decision, but we’ve<br />
decided to make <strong>Village</strong> <strong>Raw</strong> quarterly – we just don’t have the resources to<br />
keep the magazine bi-monthly. We launched the Kickstarter exactly a year ago,<br />
and while it feels like we’ve covered a lot of ground since then, the <strong>Village</strong> <strong>Raw</strong><br />
project is still in its infancy. Publishing every three months will give us the time<br />
and space to develop the magazine, and the project around it, further.<br />
We’ve also evolved the first couple of pages into an events calendar and a<br />
space for community announcements – we hope you’ll find this useful. There’s<br />
lots coming up, from the summer festivals (Alicia Pivaro previews the Pink<br />
Plaque project for The Highgate Festival) to the Crouch End and East Finchley<br />
art trails which Zoe Bee explores. Carla Parks samples some of the area’s supper<br />
clubs, we pay homage to one eatery that has now sadly closed its doors<br />
– Crouch End institution Edith’s House – and Peter Cox considers the wider<br />
state of our high streets. Emma Ross checks out a seasonal, sustainable and<br />
local flower company, while Chris King reflects on huge losses to our biodiversity.<br />
Huma Qureshi is laying down roots, and Dr Emma Svanberg contemplates<br />
what happens when we become parents. Some quiet respite is offered up by<br />
The Lab, and other partner content includes details of a couple of amazing opportunities<br />
at OmVed Gardens, and a first look at the results from the Hornsey<br />
Town Hall consultation courtesy of The Time + Space Co. The soundtrack for<br />
this issue is provided by Michael Jablonka.<br />
