William Blake’s London: a new adaptation

 The Blake Society is delighted to offer a preview of a new cover of William Blake’s “London”, from the Songs of Experience. This arrangement is by local London blues band Sister Mary and the Choirboys; music by Fred Thomas and Ben Moorhouse, vocals by Emine Pirhasan. Sister Mary and the Choirboys play regular gigs at various locations throughout the city. More information available at their website or at their MySpace page.

 
 Many thanks to Sister Mary and the Choirboys for giving the Blake Society permission to stream their music on our website. 

Competition

Soon we will be launching an open competition to create a new apochryphal story.

Prizes will be original 18C commercial works of Blake.

The story must be untrue - yet more insightful than the ‘Naked’ Butts tale.

The Blake Journal

If you have an article, review, artwork, poem or an amorphous form that you would like considered for publication either in the Journal or on the website then please contact the Society.
