Event: Ladyfest Goldsmiths 2009

An all-dayer set up to celebrate the creativity of womenkind, Ladyfest Goldsmiths takes place on Thursday 5th Feb, and looks set to be an interesting and fun-filled day of music, performances, comedy, art and talks from inspirational women (including Frances Morgan from Plan B mag discussing Women in Music Journalism - one not to be missed, fellow writers!)

We're especially excited about seeing Das Wanderlust again (reviewed in Shebang's second issue - out on the 23rd Feb) and checking out the cake sales, face painting, zine fayre, clothes swap and bring and buy.

Most of the info is beautifully presented on this fab poster:
