Literature Festival
Twickenham plays host to a number of events this weekend as part of the 30th Richmond Literature Festival.
On Saturday evening at Twickenham Library, there is a chance to expand your horizons with two bestselling writers who use literary fiction to imagine alternative futures.
The authors of The Mermaid of Black Conch and A River Called Time discuss how novels can change how we see the world.
Courttia Newland and Monique Roffey, whose works branch out into speculative fantasy, science fiction and magical realism, explore contemporary issues such as climate change, race, class and equality through their trailblazing fiction.
On Sunday morning, Whitton Sports Centre hosts an event for children that shines a light on the history of female footballers dating back to World War I.
Children's author Lou Kuenzler shares their stories in an event introducing her new children's novel, Our Beautiful Game.
As men were sent to fight in the war, women and girls worked in munitions factories and spent time off playing football. Before long, they were playing sold-out public games – but in 1921 the FA deemed football 'unsuitable for women'.
Red Roses Follow the best women's rugby team in the world as England take on Canada at The Stoop on Sunday afternoon. Fresh from success against the Black Ferns of New Zealand, many of the team, such as Amy Cokayne, Lagi Tuima and Ellie Kildunne, play for the successful Quins side.Dr. Feelgood
The band remains one of the most popular and exciting live rhythm and blues acts in the world with a history that boasts a string of number one records.
Formed on Canvey Island, Essex, in the early 1970s, their catalogue of hits famously includes Milk & Alcohol as well as Down at The Doctors, Roxette, Back in The Night, She Does it Right, Going Back Home and See You Later Alligator, which gave the group their first Gold Record.
The line-up has changed since the early days, however it now features Kevin Morris on drums and Phil Mitchell on bass, both 34 years with the band. Guitarist, Steve Walwyn, has been with the band for 28 years, while vocalist, Robert Kane - formerly of The Animals – joined in 1999 after the tragic death of Lee Brilleaux.
The show at Eel Pie Club at The Patch is a sell-out, although there will be some returns on the door.
