Next in line at 45

I spent the day at fortyfive downstairs yesterday doing a few chores.
As usual the pace was running full-on.
The gallery has an exhibition around the Darfur tragedy. Walking in the door at 11.15 to a gallery buzzing with people was an amazing feeling Many Wednesday mornings are dead quiet until the lunch time crowd moves in.

This exhibition deserves to be visited.

The performing arts arena was a buzz too with a set up happening downstairs and plans afoot for a musical performance next Monday - the proceeds of which will go to the bushfire appeal. In the meantime postcards for John Stanton's performance " And When He Falls: " had arrived.

This looks to be an inspiring presentation with John performing pieces from Marlow and Shakespeare on the Plantagenet Kings. A bit of Royal blood letting never hurt any good Democracy. Music is by Tony Gould.
The season runs from 11th to 29th March. Tickets at www.fortyfivedownstairs.com

The team at 45 is changing with the wonderful Alex in Marketing moving on to a position at the VCA. She has has been replaced by Abby who looks like she will become yet another great ingredient of the 45 Hotpot.
