East End Film Festival 2010

The East End Film Festival showcases hot new talent and homegrown films alongside larger independent releases and special events, informing and inspiring a new generation of filmmakers and audiences from across London and beyond, and raising the profile of this vibrant and diverse area - London’s East End.

One of the films to be premiered during the film festival is 'The Rime Of The Modern Mariner'. A new documentary film about the London Docks in the uniquely atmospheric church setting of the Hawksmoor Church of St Anne’s at Limehouse.

‘The Rime of the Modern Mariner’. directed by journalist Mark Donne and narrated by musician Carl Barat, focuses on what happened to the culture, community and folklore of the London Docks - for hundreds of years the watery capital of a maritime nation and the largest port on earth until its closure in the late 1960’s left an entire way of life sucked into a vacuum.

The Rime of the Modern Mariner will be premiered on Friday 23rd April to book tickets click here.

The Libertines reform!!!!!

I am overly happy right about now, back in January I said it wouldn't happen aren't I eating humble pie.

The Libertines to reform?

Carl Barât has said that the Libertines will be reforming next year in 2011. The band originally split up in 2004, but Carl and Pete Doherty have reunited for one off gigs since then.

The reformation of the Libertines would defintely be a good thing and will no doubt shake up this stagnent music industry.

But, no matter how I would love to see this happen as the Libertines were and will always be arguably the best British band of our time. It has been six years since they split, they haven't completely reformed since then so I can't see it ever happening now or in the future.

Pete Doherty in 24 hours

After weeks of advertising from MTV I was highly anticipating this programme, but after watching it I was left quite disappointed.

"I don't know what I was expecting"

In the programme Pete was his usual self rambling on and fairly aloof, however in parts he was charismatic and articulate. There were parts of the programme when I thought this guy is a complete twat, but those feelings were wiped away when he took to the stage he is such a talented musician and people seem to forget that.

He was then joined on stage by Carl Barat his supposed best friend and ex - libertines band mate .... As a Libertines fan it was pure nostalgia

The Libertines should reform !!!!

Did anyone watch the programme, what were your thoughts does anyone disagree with what I have said?
