Each year of the decade is represented by a piece of popular music.
Themes from the songs are enlarged upon, so by the end of the talk, subjects covered include fashions back then, the Cold War, Vietnam, flower power, the space race – and more!
A light-hearted and nostalgic look back at a decade many remember fondly!
Tibet has a unique culture and a strikingly distinctive location on a high and massive plateau in the Himalayas.
It was seized by China in the 1950s and has since suffered from repression. But it does what it can to preserve its distinctiveness, as Professor Joyce Hill saw when she visited it a few years ago.
Her talk will set Tibet in its geographical and historical context and give us a flavour of what Tibet is like today.

Poison Ruin formed in Philadelphia in 2020. It began as a solo recording project but developed into a full band by the end of the year. Their music combines classic anarcho/crust punk with a variety of influences including oi!, american post-punk, NWOBHM, and dungeon synth. The band heavily utilizes dark medieval imagery and lyrical themes combined with anarcho iconography. A compilation of their 2020 demos was released as an LP in 2021, followed by the ‘Not Today, Not Tomorrow’ 7” in 2022.
