Dylan at 70: I Told Bob Dylan He was Dead
In the summer of 1969 I told Bob Dylan he was dead. He hadn’t heard the news at the time but he didn’t appear to be too bothered. Perhaps, like the rest of us who had made it through the Sixties, Bob had become inured to rock deaths - including his own. Since Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper had died in that plane crash in February 1959 a whole gang of rockers had joined the great tour bus in the sky - Eddie Cochran, Otis Redding, the Bar-Kays, Brian Jones, Johnny Kidd, Sam Cooke, Bobby Fuller, Johnny Burnette, Joe Meek, Frankie Lymon and countless others. There was one major difference however. They really were dead and Bob Dylan wasn’t but it didn’t matter. The story going round in the summer of ‘69 said he was and the rumour carried just enough fact to make it seem plausible.

The Turning of the Tide - Richmond Lock
When Richmond Lock and Weir and its footbridge were opened in 1894 by the Duke and Duchess of York there were cheers and celebrations in St Margarets. Now they had a short cut to Richmond on their doorstep. (Twickenham Bridge would not be built for another 39 years.)
There were celebrations in Isleworth as well. They were cheering because they didn’t have a short cut to Richmond on their doorstep.

Get in the Mood for the St Margarets Fair
This year we have a beautiful little comedy movie produced and donated by local film-maker Joel Byron (www.bigplusproductions.com). The film was shot on a mixture of retro Super 8mm film and 35mm Lomography photos taken from last year’s 2010 Fair, and has managed to perfectly capture the essence of the event with a beautiful vintage feel to it.
