ADVENTurous on saturday was a wonderful day. i hope it is the first of many – a regular advent festival like this exploring poignant themes, celebrating advent, fused with the arts in london would be amazing. i was photographer for the day and have added a set of photos here – see slideshow here.

this photo is the lead singer of hope and social wandering into the crowd literally unplugged – up on a pew (which he politely asked permission for!!) singing and hand aloft to the cavern of the chapel. it was a really magical moment. it was also almost completely in the dark so i was pleased i managed to get a photo out of it!

and this is one of the amazing pieces of art put together by engedi arts and now in leeds and shortly to be in colwyn bay – this chess set is called 'mother mary chess set' and is by pea runstall and pits a series of marys against the empire of domination – it must have taken an eon to make and was quite extraordinary as was the rest of the art.
