Bishopsgate Blog: Discover, Enquire and Debate.

There is a new way to engage with Bishopsgate Institute activities, whether it’s our world-renowned library, dynamic events, wide-ranging courses or inspirational Schools and Community Learning Programme.

The Bishopsgate Blog provides an added insight into all of these with regular blogs featuring speakers from our Cultural Events, photographs, documents, letters, posters and ephemera from the Library, up-to-date news and information on courses and first hand accounts of our Schools and Community workshops.

In our first blog Gary Kemp from Spandau Ballet will answer questions about music in the 80s and now. Who were the bands influencing the music at the time, which bands today are influenced by the 80s and what lay behind the flamboyant fashion of the decade.

If you want to hear more about what Gary has to say on this you can join him, Pauline Black from The Selecter and Robert Elms on Thursday 27 September in Poptastic: Music in the 80s.
