SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Dan Jennings with Paul Weller Dancing Through the Fire
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate and expansive evening with award‑winning broadcaster and journalist Dan Jennings\, as he discusses DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE: The Authorised Oral History of Paul Weller\, the first fully authorised and definitive oral account of one of Britain’s most influential and enduring musical figures. \nThis event forms part of The Long Play Sessions\, ICMP’s curated series celebrating transformative writers\, artists and cultural voices who shape how we understand music\, identity and creative expression. Each session opens a window into the stories behind the art — blending conversation\, cultural history and lived experience. \nHosting the evening will be acclaimed author Daniel Rachel and joining as a guest will be Go! Discs founder Andy Macdonald. \nIn DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE\, Jennings traces the extraordinary creative life of Paul Weller\, from the explosive urgency of The Jam\, through the ambitious sophistication of The Style Council\, to a prolific and uncompromising solo career spanning more than three decades. Built from over 200 hours of interviews with more than 250 contributors\, including Weller himself; the book offers an unprecedented\, collective portrait of a musician whose influence has defined generations. \nDrawing on unique access to Weller’s inner circle of family\, friends\, bandmates\, producers and collaborators\, Jennings reveals the drive\, discipline and restless creativity behind a career that continually resisted nostalgia and commercial complacency. The result is candid\, generous and richly revealing — capturing not just the myth\, but the man at the centre of one of British music’s most remarkable artistic journeys. \nFar more than a standard biography\, DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE explores the realities of longevity\, reinvention and creative survival. It reflects on class\, culture\, fandom and the personal cost of sustaining artistic integrity in the public eye\, while charting how Weller became one of the very few artists to achieve Number One albums across five consecutive decades. \nPaul Weller’s story — creative\, uncompromising and continually evolving\, speaks to anyone who cares about music as a cultural force. It asks what it takes to remain vital\, curious and true to yourself when the world expects you to stand still. \nAlready hailed by critics as a landmark work of music journalism\, DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE is being recognised as the definitive account of one of Britain’s greatest artists. \nTickets available here and currently on a limited 2-4-1 offer – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-long-play-sessions-dan-jennings-paul-weller-dancing-through-the-fire-tickets-1987599404323?aff=oddtdtcreator \nWhat to Expect\n\nA talk from Dan Jennings exploring the making of DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE\, the interview process\, and the challenge of capturing a living legend through many voices\nIn‑depth discussion of creativity\, longevity\, reinvention and artistic integrity across five decades of British music\nBehind‑the‑scenes insight into Jennings’ unprecedented access to Paul Weller and his closest collaborators\nReflections on class\, fandom\, cultural legacy and why Weller’s music continues to resonate across generations\nAudience Q&A\, offering the chance to engage directly with Jennings about his research\, the writing process and Paul Weller’s cultural impact\nBook signing — bring your copy or purchase one on the night\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for a thoughtful\, energising and unforgettable evening celebrating one of modern music’s most vital and uncompromising creative figures. \n\n\n\nLocation\nThe Venue\, ICMP (Queens Park Campus)\, NW6 6PA

SUMMARY:Darcey Steinke & Octavia Bright: Writing the Body in Pain
DESCRIPTION:Darcey Steinke’s This Is the Door: Notes from a Body in Pain is a profound and searching examination of pain\, moving organ by organ through the body (spine\, knees\, skin) while weaving together personal experience with literature\, art\, and medicine. From surgery to pilgrimage\, from Frida Kahlo’s pain diaries to encounters with physicians\, Steinke asks: what does pain do to us\, and what might it make possible? She is joined by Octavia Bright\, whose memoir\, This Ragged Grace\, charts a different yet equally visceral journey through addiction\, recovery\, and renewal.

SUMMARY:Laetitia Barbier: Heads Will Roll—and Perhaps Fly: The Literary and Visual Legacy of the Guillotine in France
DESCRIPTION:The French guillotine stands as one of the most charged instruments of modernity: an engineering feat codified in the late eighteenth century to rationalize state execution\, with the ambition of rendering it more egalitarian and—strikingly to us today—more humane. Yet its function cannot be disentangled from the profound psychic and cultural shockwaves it produced\, particularly during the Reign of Terror\, when mechanized death transformed the executioner into a mere agent and the act itself became at once spectacle and routine. \nWhat is remarkable is not only its political significance\, but the rich afterlife it generated across artistic and literary domains. Reports of post-mortem blinking\, animated bodies\, and an obsessive fascination with severed\, seemingly “living” heads reveal a collective preoccupation with the limits of vitality. Imbued with an uncanny persistence\, these fragments blur the threshold between life and death\, returning as motifs that oscillate between horror\, fascination\, and a dark aesthetic charge within the artistic production of the period. \nBy tracing the guillotine’s visual and literary haunting manifestations in 19th and 20th century France\, we begin to grasp its peculiar legacy: not merely as a technology in the service of abjection\, but as an ambiguously potent image-making force that continues to shape the imagination. \nFrench-born Laetitia Barbier is a tarot teacher\, cartomancer\, and independent scholar. She is the author of Tarot and Divination Cards: A Visual Archive (2021) and Jesus Now: Contemporary Art + Pop Culture. She holds a BA in Art History from Sorbonne University (2009) and served as Head Librarian and Programming Director at Morbid Anatomy from 2012 to 2024. Her work explores art\, esoterica\, and the cultural function of images\, with a particular interest in their symbolic and historical resonances. She lives in Brooklyn\, New York.

Since then\, he’s written five Liam Gallagher cover interviews and remains one of the most trusted voices on the band’s legacy. \nThe Long Play Sessions\nThis event forms part of The Long Play Sessions\, a curated series hosted by ICMP celebrating some of the most influential voices writing about music today.

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Paul Sexton with Rock Goes to College (Special performance from Freya Everest)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening with Paul Sexton\, acclaimed music journalist\, author and broadcaster\, as he explores his latest book Rock Goes to College — the definitive\, untold story of the UK university gig circuit that launched a generation of legendary artists. With an opening performance by talented singer-songwriter Freya Everest\, this one is not to be missed!  \nIn Rock Goes to College\, Sexton traces the rise of Britain’s student gig circuit during the late 1960s and 1970s. This grassroots touring network became a proving ground for emerging artists during the explosion of rock music and the album era. As new universities and polytechnics opened across the UK\, bands criss-crossed the country in battered vans\, playing student unions\, honing their sound and chasing the dream of a record deal. \nDrawing on extensive original interviews and his unrivalled access to artists and industry figures\, Sexton tells remarkable early-career stories of acts including Pink Floyd\, Led Zeppelin\, The Who\, Queen\, Elton John\, Fleetwood Mac\, Genesis\, Nick Drake\, AC/DC and Dire Straits — as well as the student promoters and social secretaries who booked them\, many of whom would go on to shape the modern music industry themselves. The book also reveals how Paul McCartney and Wings returned to this circuit post-Beatles to road-test a new band from the ground up. \nPart music history\, part social history\, Rock Goes to College captures a vital moment when higher education\, youth culture and live music collided — shaping careers\, communities and the future of British rock. \nWhat to expect\n\nAn in-depth conversation with Paul Sexton on the stories and research behind Rock Goes to College\nInsight into the UK’s university gig circuit and its role in developing iconic artists\nDiscussion on music journalism\, biography and documenting cultural history\nAudience Q&A\nA live and intimate acoustic performance from Freya Everest\nBook signing opportunity — bring your copy or purchase one on the night\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for an entertaining\, insightful and nostalgia-rich evening uncovering one of the most influential — and least documented — chapters in British music history. \nAbout The Long Play Sessions\nThis event forms part of The Long Play Sessions\, a curated series hosted by ICMP Music School\, celebrating influential writers whose work has shaped how we understand music\, culture and creative history.

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Zakia Sewell – Finding Albion – Myth\, Folklore and the Quest for a Hidden Britain
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday 5th June at 7:00 pm at ICMP’s Queen’s Park venue for a special in‑conversation event with award‑winning writer\, DJ and broadcaster Zakia Sewell\, as she discusses her brand‑new book: \nFINDING ALBION – Myth\, Folklore and the Quest for a Hidden Britain \nIn this intimate interview\, Zakia will discuss her quest for ‘another Britain’. How she traversed the length and breadth of our island from Somerset to Scotland\, seeking out a different story – one that lies beyond divisive national myths and symbols. \nIn Finding Albion\, Zakia uncovers an alternative spirit of Britain that is vividly alive today. It is found in otherworldly folk songs\, ancient legends\, Celtic seasonal rites and mystic stone circles that punctuate our landscape. Her journey begins as the sun rises on the spring equinox over Glastonbury Tor\, where she meets neopagans reclaiming traditions from our pre-Christian past. At summer’s peak at Notting Hill Carnival\, she hears cultural echoes that passed along the slave trade routes from the Caribbean. On All Hallows’ Eve\, she encounters the ghosts of Empire that are still haunting the nation\, and in the depths of a Cornish winter\, she asks if today’s new folk revival could unite our increasingly divided country? \nFinding Albion brings a hopeful story of Britain out from the shadows\, giving us a deeper sense of who we are and heralding the promise of a brighter future. \nTickets available here – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-long-play-sessions-zakia-sewell-finding-albion-tickets-1988473699363?aff=oddtdtcreator \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nZakia Sewell is a writer\, DJ and broadcaster based in London. She hosts Dream Time on BBC Radio 6 Music and used to host the flagship breakfast show on NTS Radio. For the past eight years\, she has been producing and presenting radio documentaries and podcasts for platforms such as BBC Radio 3 and 4\, Tate and Camden Arts Centre.

SUMMARY:Marmalade and Masquerades - Live Performance with Narration
DESCRIPTION:Marmalade and Masquerades \nAndré Caplet: Conte Fantastique (1922) after Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death\, for harp\, narrator and string quartet. Story adapted by Erin Muldoon. \nHerbert Chappell: Paddington’s First Concert (mid-1970s)\, arranged for the same ensemble by Roger Montgomery. \nTravel from the familiar warmth of 32\, Windsor Gardens\, home to London’s favourite bear\, into the shadowy world of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death. This imaginative programme brings together two contrasting tales\, showing how music can express both light and dark\, comfort and mystery. \nThrough engaging live performance with narration\, children and families will discover how composers use sound to tell stories. Some feel cosy\, playful\, and curious. Others are dramatic\, eerie and full of suspense. Each invites listeners to picture characters\, places and emotions in their own way. \nOn one side\, Paddington Bear’s world is brought to life through music that celebrates kindness\, humour and small everyday adventures. On the other hand\, André Caplet’s Conte Fantastique draws us into a darker\, more mysterious atmosphere\, inspired by Poe’s haunting tale of Prince Prospero’s abbey. \nPlaced side by side\, these works reveal how music can spark imagination across very different moods and stories. Together\, they offer a rich and memorable introduction to the power of musical storytelling. \nTo Hire String Quartets  & Harpists in London for Private and Corporate Events\, visit Music for London.

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Simon Reynolds - Still In A Dream with Rudy Tambala
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Long Play Sessions for an immersive and intellectually charged evening with acclaimed music critic and cultural historian Simon Reynolds\, as he discusses ‘Still in a Dream: Shoegaze\, Slackers and the Reinvention of Rock\, 1984–1994′. \nIn Still in a Dream\, Reynolds picks up where Rip It Up and Start Again left off\, tracing the underground explosion that followed post‑punk: the rise of shoegaze\, noisepop\, slacker rock and grunge. Drawing on his first-hand experience as a journalist embedded in the scene\, Reynolds captures a moment when guitar music turned inward and expansive at once — when distortion\, volume and texture became vehicles for emotion\, alienation and altered states. \nFrom the shimmering dreamworlds of Cocteau Twins and Slowdive\, to the visceral noise of Sonic Youth\, My Bloody Valentine\, Dinosaur Jr. and Pavement\, Reynolds explores how this music reflected the psychic climate of the time: youth disaffection\, political conservatism\, and the last flourish of analogue culture before the internet remade everything. Both a personal memoir and a cultural analysis\, the book is as much about how music felt as about how it sounded. \nFar more than a scene-by-scene history\, Still in a Dream examines why this era continues to echo through contemporary music\, fashion and attitudes — and how its ethos of experimentation\, withdrawal\, intensity and beauty reshaped the possibilities of rock music for decades to come. \nWhat to Expect \n\nA talk from Simon Reynolds exploring the ideas\, emotions and cultural forces behind the book\nDeep discussion of shoegaze\, underground guitar music and alternative culture from 1984–1994\nInsight into Simon’s writing process\, music journalism career and experiences documenting the era as it unfolded\nReflections on youth\, alienation\, escapism\, politics and the changing role of music media\nAudience Q&A\, offering the chance to engage directly with Reynolds on music history\, criticism and legacy\nBook signing — bring your copy or purchase one on the evening\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for a rich\, reflective and exhilarating exploration of this defining period of modern music history. \nAbout The Long Play Sessions \nThis event is part of The Long Play Sessions\, ICMP’s curated series spotlighting transformative writers\, artists and cultural voices who shape the way we understand music\, identity and creative expression. Each session opens a window into the stories behind the art — blending conversation\, cultural history and lived experience.

SUMMARY:ROBOTA - A new play from Headlong
DESCRIPTION:In 1920\, playwright Karel Čapek imagined a world of AI and rebellion\, inspiring and influencing a century of sci-fi cinema. 100 years later\, Headlong reawakens his visionary play R.U.R. as ROBOTA – high-voltage theatre for the age of artificial intelligence. \nIn a not-too-distant future the Rossum Corporation has done the impossible: created machines indistinguishable from humans. Built to serve\, programmed to obey and ready to be rolled out worldwide. \nBut when idealistic activist Helen gets involved\, these perfect workers begin to dream of freedom and the system starts to glitch. As the line between human and machine blurs\, how do we hold on to our humanity? \nBlending origin story with sci-fi\, myth with machine\, this is a smart\, timely and often funny look at what it means to truly be alive. Written by Ella Road (Black Mirror/Dr Who) and directed by Roy Alexander Weise (The Hot Wing King at the National Theatre\, Much Ado About Nothing at The RSC) this is a bold reimagining of the play that gave us the word “robot.”

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions : Stuart Braithwaite with Spaceships over Glasgow
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate and electrifying evening with Stuart Braithwaite\, founding member of Mogwai\, as he discusses Spaceships Over Glasgow: Mogwai\, Mayhem and Misspent Youth — a raw\, funny and deeply honest memoir of music obsession\, life on the road\, and the strange magic of live sound. \nThis event forms part of The Long Play Sessions\, ICMP’s curated series celebrating artists and writers who shape how we experience and understand music culture. Each session explores the stories beneath the noise — where creativity\, identity and lived experience intersect — offering audiences a rare chance to engage directly with the people who make and document the music that defines generations. \nIn Spaceships Over Glasgow\, Braithwaite traces his journey from a music-obsessed childhood in Scotland to the global stages of one of the world’s most influential post‑rock bands. With warmth\, self‑deprecation and startling candour\, he recounts formative gigs\, life‑changing records\, chaotic tours and the friendships that sustained Mogwai through decades of relentless volume and evolution. \nSet against the backdrop of Glasgow’s fertile underground scene\, the book is both a love letter to live music and an unfiltered account of the realities of life in a band — the exhilaration\, exhaustion\, excess and uncertain balance between creativity and survival. From teenage discovery of Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine\, to tinnitus‑inducing shows and international acclaim\, Braithwaite captures what it means to build a life around sound. \nFar more than a rock memoir\, Spaceships Over Glasgow reflects on youth\, belonging\, and the ways music can serve as escape\, identity and salvation. It speaks to anyone who has ever stood in a crowd and felt their life rearranged by noise — or dreamed of stepping onto a stage and making that feeling happen for others. \nWhat to Expect \n\nAn intimate talk from Stuart\, exploring the stories\, memories and moments behind the book\nInsight into Mogwai’s journey\, Glasgow’s underground music culture\, and the realities of long‑term life in a band\nDiscussion of creativity\, obsession\, touring\, friendship and the sustaining power of loud music\nReflections on youth\, risk\, resilience and the transformative experience of live performance\nAudience Q&A\, offering the chance to engage directly with Braithwaite about writing\, music and Mogwai’s legacy\nBook signing — bring your copy or purchase one at the event\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for a candid\, joyful and uncompromising evening celebrating music as a lifelong force — told by someone who has lived it\, loudly and without filter.

SUMMARY:Dysmas Orbis — Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join published and exhibited London artist and author Robert John for the launch of Dysmas Orbis\, a speculative urban fantasy set within a hidden parallel London. \nRobert John has spent years creating a surreal visual version of London through his photographic and digital art practice. His work has been exhibited and published\, including LDN Reimagined\, a traditionally published art book with Unicorn Publishing Group. Dysmas Orbis is the literary continuation of that visual world — taking the surreal London he created through images and developing it into a five-book speculative fiction series. \nThe novel explores identity\, belonging\, relationships\, displacement and what it means to be seen\, drawing on Robert’s own experiences of growing up in South London and his father’s battle with Parkinson’s disease and dementia. \nExpect a London that is recognisable but not quite right — spider trees\, flower lamps\, giant machines\, secret societies and a hidden world existing alongside our own. \nThe launch will include a Q & A\, reading from the novel and a look behind the creation of the book and its visual world. Guests will receive a complimentary drink on arrival and a free special edition A5 art print with every signed first edition of Dysmas Orbis purchased on the night. \nEarly praise for Dysmas Orbis\n\n“His London is animate\, alarming\, astonishing.”— Iain Sinclair \n\n\n“Gripping and assured… Richly and beautifully written\, Dysmas Orbis is a tender story that will keep you turning the pages and stay with you long after the last page.”— Ivy Ngeow\, award-winning author \n\n\n“A brooding tale of fissured reality where freedom is swallowed whole.”— Sudhana Singh\, award-winning memoirist & journalist \n\n\n“Prepare to step into a gritty and mythical version of London\, with secret societies and spider trees. Robert John has created an alternate London that feels both familiar and fantastical.”— Tabish Khan\, art critic for Londonist

SUMMARY:Historic Homes of Hampstead Village Guided Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Since its development from a village to an 18th Century spa town and then a Victorian suburb\, Hampstead has retained its unspoilt Georgian charm with many listed townhouses and terraces. \nIn the 19th and 20th Centuries this made it very popular with artists\, intellectuals and creatives of all kinds and there are many stories of influential figures who are former residents who left their mark on the area. \nThis includes several generations of architects\, such as Norman Shaw\, Ewan Christian and Erno Goldfinger\, many of whom built their own homes there\, adding to its architectural variety. Furthermore\, in the 20th Century the area gained a reputation as the location of several modernist architects’ experimental housing projects for wealthy clients\, including Hopkins House and Maxwell Fry’s Sun House. \nJoin our knowledgeable guide on this walking tour to learn more about the people and buildings that have shaped Hampstead\, where you will be introduced to a selection of the area’s finest architects’ homes\, historic houses\, and modernist masterpieces.

SUMMARY:International Translation Day Editorial Slam with English PEN (In person)
DESCRIPTION:This participatory event\, in partnership with English PEN\, sees two editors take part in an ‘editorial slam’. Based on the ‘translation slam’ model\, it explores the collaborative acts of writing\, translating and editing by asking Sceptre Editorial Director Ansa Khan and Robina Pelham Burn to edit the same passage of text\, translated from the Arabic\, a language in which neither of them read. \nDuring the event\, they will see each other’s edits for the first time\, and with the text’s translator\, Nashwa Nasreldin\, who will chair the conversation\, discuss their choices and the rationales behind them. The audience\, including translators and fellow editors\, will have the chance to discuss their edits\, exploring the particular challenges and opportunities of editing work in translation; how to edit well when a text is deeply rooted in cultural\, linguistic\, or geographical specificity; and what editors must hold onto and what they must give up. \nInternational Translation Day (ITD) is celebrated annually on 30 September with a programme of events and workshops from English PEN\, taking place throughout September online and in person in London and Norwich. \nEnglish PEN is one of the world’s oldest human rights organisations\, championing the freedom to write and read. They are the founding centre of PEN International\, a worldwide writers’ association with 130 centres in more than 90 countries. With the support of their members – a community of readers\, writers\, and activists – they protect freedom of expression whenever it is under attack\, support writers facing persecution around the world\, and celebrate contemporary international writing with literary prizes\, grants\, events and an online magazine https://pentransmissions.com/ \nThis event will take place in person in the New Room at The London Library. Please see our Event Access Guidelines before you arrive. Doors (and the bar) will open at 5.30pm for a 6pm start.

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Stephanie Phillips (Big Joanie): In Conversation & Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:We Were Here: A History of Black People and Alternative Music\n\n\n\nStephanie Phillips joins The Long Play Sessions and discusses We Were Here as she rewrites the story of rock ’n’ roll and alternative music\, placing Black artists at the heart of a history they’ve always helped shape. \n\nFrom pioneering figures such as Sister Rosetta Tharpe\, Little Richard\, Jimi Hendrix\, Tina Turner\, Betty Davis\, Poly Styrene and Bad Brains to today’s trailblazing musicians\, Stephanie Phillips reveals the profound influence of Black creativity on alternative music across nearly a century.\n\n\n\nExploring why Black artists have continued to embrace alternative music despite being marginalised by the mainstream industry\, Phillips makes a compelling case that there is no alternative music without Black innovation. Looking ahead\, she celebrates a new generation of Gen Z musicians redefining the possibilities of punk\, metal\, hardcore and indie\, and shaping the future of the genre.

SUMMARY:The Carmen Talks: Getting the Good Stuff Out There (In person)
DESCRIPTION:Legendary publisher\, Virago\, in memory of their pioneering founder Carmen Callil\, bring their lecture series\, The Carmen Talks\, back to The London Library. \nThe third in a series of five\, this talk by Kit de Waal reflects on her own activism as a writer\, publisher and reader. She’ll discuss what she drew on from her earlier careers in social services and criminal law to bring to her writing and publishing; how it informed her about people and exclusion and about goodness. While applauding the work within publishing to make it more inclusive\, she will talk about what still needs to be done and how. She says she has never thought of herself as a rebel\, ‘more of a miner\, excavating from the bottom\, getting the good stuff out so it can see the daylight’. This generosity of spirit underpins all her work – her novels\, her memoir\, her anthologies and her work with many trusts and charities\, among them: BookBanks; the Black Writers Guild\, Raising Readers\, and her new course\, Writing Kit. \nKit de Waal was born in Birmingham to an Irish mother and a Caribbean father. Her first novel My Name is Leon was published in 2016 and shortlisted for the Costa Book Award. She has since written seven books\, including her memoir\, Without Warning and Only Sometimes\, edited Common People\, an anthology of working-class writers\, and won many awards. Her most recent novel\, longlisted for the Women’s Prize\, is The Best of Everything. \nOur events programme is presented in partnership with Hakluyt & Company\, the global strategic advisory firm for businesses and investors. \nBooks by Kit de Waal will be available to buy at the event and online from our partner bookshop Hatchards. \nThis event will take place in person at The London Library. Doors (and the bar) open at 6.30pm\, the talk will run from 7-8pm and the bar will close at 8.30pm. Tickets include a glass of wine. Please see our Event Access Guidelines before you arrive.

SUMMARY:Living With... Love | Cockpit Theatre
DESCRIPTION:The second in a series of talks bringing together professionals from the arts\, science\, religion and philosophy\, to ask: how can we help each other navigate and connect as fully as possible with the defining experiences of being human? \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nDiane Glover\n(Psychotherapist) \nJulie Beaman\n(Head of Centre\, Guildhall Young Artists Online) \nRebecca Brierley\n(Community Reconciliation Programme Manager\, St Ethelburga’s) \nShiry Rashkovsky\n(Violist) \nDr King-Ho Leung\n(Lecturer in Philosophy\, Theology and the Arts\, Kings College London) \n\n\n\n\nForeword – Natasha Wood\, Curator and Host\n\n\n\n\nPatient ‘B’ hadn’t followed any of the advice I’d given her the week before and the wound was getting worse. She appeared disinterested\, right up until the time to leave. Then her questions came on like a flood. Why wasn’t the wound getting better? What could be done? What did I think? What about the other foot? On and on it went… Was it really more advice she wanted? She never followed any of it. More love seemed closer to the mark\, in the sense of care and attention\, but I couldn’t be sure. It wasn’t something I could ever have asked her directly. And what is love (as opposed to good advice)? Why is it so hard to define when we all need it so much – a close second to oxygen\, water and food – just to keep us alive? Is it in our cells? Does it hold us together? Should it be part of a treatment plan? And how can we give it away to others (in a 20 minute appointment\, 13 times a day) without using ourselves up? \nSuitable for an adult audience (18 and above). The content may touch on sensitive issues.

SUMMARY:Deep into the Sixties – David Kynaston in conversation with Samira Ahmed (In person)
DESCRIPTION:It’s the heart of the Sixties in Britain – the Beatles and the Stones vie at the top of the charts\, England win the World Cup\, and optimism and patriotism percolate through the streets. But this is not the full story of mid-Sixties Britain. Disaffection on the political left increasingly focuses on the escalating Vietnam War; and the ambitious hopes of Harold Wilson’s Labour government start to founder on the precarious state of the pound. It is a time of looking both backwards and forwards – sweeping reforms to secondary education\, huge swathes of urban redevelopment and the irresistible rise of a confident\, free-spending youth culture. Yet everyday life for many\, especially beyond the big cities\, bears a striking resemblance to decades earlier. \nLegendary historian\, David Kynaston\, discusses the latest instalment in his landmark Tales of a New Jerusalem series\, Deep Into the Sixties: Britain 1965–66\, which paints a richly nuanced picture of unrivalled detail\, revolutionising how we see post-war Britain and the so-called Swinging Sixties. He’ll be in conversation with journalist and broadcaster Samira Ahmed\, whose new BFI Film Classics book on the Beatles film A Hard Day’s Night similarly explores the shifting cultural landscape of 1960s Britain. \nDavid Kynaston has been a professional historian since 1973 and is the author of nineteen critically acclaimed books. His continuing history of postwar Britain\, Tales of a New Jerusalem\, has so far comprised Austerity Britain\, Family Britain\, Modernity Britain\, On the Cusp and A Northern Wind. He has also written several books on aspects of cricket history including the award-winning Arlott\, Swanton and the Soul of English Cricket (with Stephen Fay) and Richie Benaud’s Blue Suede Shoes (with Harry Ricketts). \nSamira Ahmed is a journalist\, writer and BBC broadcaster. She presents Front Row on BBC Radio 4\, Newswatch on BBC One\, and has made acclaimed documentaries including Art of Persia (BBC Four)\, Disgusted\, Mary Whitehouse\, and I Dressed Ziggy Stardust (BBC Radio 4). In 2020\, she was named Audio Presenter of the Year by the Broadcasting Press Guild. Her writing has appeared in The Guardian\, The Observer\, and New Humanist\, where she also writes a regular column. A Hard Day’s Night is her first book. \nOur events programme is presented in partnership with Hakluyt & Company\, the global strategic advisory firm for businesses and investors. \nBooks by both speakers will be available to buy at the event and online from our partner bookshop Hatchards. \nThis event will take place in person at The London Library. Doors (and the bar) will open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start. Please see our Event Access Guidelines before you arrive. \nLondon Library events are subject to Terms & Conditions

SUMMARY:Time Clocks Book Launch with Yoav Avni
DESCRIPTION:A book launch and conversation with Israeli author Yoav Avni\, celebrating the English-language publication of Time Clocks by Roundfire Books. \nAvni will discuss the novel\, its journey from Hebrew into English\, and the ideas behind its blend of time travel\, artificial intelligence\, humor and questions about how we experience the present. \nThe evening will include conversation\, a reading from the book\, audience Q&A and signing. \nWhen Boaz is summoned to a furious dismissal meeting at the company where he has spent years developing FocalAI\, better known as the nation’s AI\, everything in his familiar\, comfortable office feels like a personal possession — even the door\, the window\, the air\, the time that had passed. \nBy nightfall\, he is cast out into the desolate industrial zone outside his office\, stripped of his phone\, his car\, and perhaps soon his relationship. The future looms\, threatening and uncertain. \nThen\, three strangers appear\, raising questions not about the future but about the past: a police officer who lost her memory in the ’80s (and maybe it is just as well); a flamboyant French dandy from the nineteenth century; and a wounded shepherd from biblical times\, clad in armor and tassels. \nAs his own life unravels\, Boaz feels compelled to discover why these three have arrived at his side. Why…

SUMMARY:Write & Shine: City of Subterfuge - Elizabeth Bowen and Muriel Spark (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Join Write & Shine bright and early\, live from The London Library for a 90-minute virtual writing workshop exploring London as a city of espionage\, secrecy and hidden lives. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll read fiction by London Library members Muriel Spark (1918–2006)\, whose novel The Hothouse by the East River channels her work in wartime intelligence and explores how the past continues to haunt the present\, and Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)\, whose masterpiece The Heat of the Day\, set in 1942\, places London at the heart of intrigue\, betrayal and shifting allegiances. We’ll think about the ways London lends itself to stories of secrecy: a city of subterfuge\, coded messages\, overheard conversations and shadowy encounters. \nThis workshop is part of a series of morning writing sessions led by author Gemma Seltzer\, inspired by The London Library’s rich literary heritage. Together we’ll uncover London as a secret city—a landscape of dreams\, disguises and shadows. \nWrite & Shine workshops take place in the early morning light – the best time to think\, dream and imagine! You won’t be expected to share your writing\, which offers great freedom and encourages all kinds of fascinating ideas to emerge. \nOur events programme is presented in partnership with Hakluyt & Company\, the global strategic advisory firm for businesses and investors. \nNB This is an online workshop via Zoom. Please log in at 7:30am for 7:45am start. You will be sent a Zoom link a few days before the workshop (if you do not receive it\, please check your junk file or email us).

SUMMARY:The Hound of the Baskervilles | King’s Head Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary Sherlock Holmes tale\, first published 125 years ago\, comes to life in a wildly enjoyable\, fun-filled comedy mystery. \nWhen Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead in the grounds of Baskerville Hall\, his family estate on Dartmoor\, with a look of terror carved on his face and the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside him\, the great detective Sherlock Holmes is summoned from Baker Street. With loyal Dr Watson in tow\, the legendary sleuths must unravel the mystery and crack the ancient curse of The Hound of the Baskervilles. \nThe play is brought vividly and brilliantly to life by Inner Voice Theatre Company\, a young Bristol-born theatre company making its London debut less than a year after launching. Three super-talented West Country actors – Ezra Clarke\, Robert Carden and Gabe Willem – play fourteen roles between them in this ultra-high-energy comedy. Produced and directed by award-winning director Steven Clarke\, this production is suitable for ages 8+ \n‘A brilliant\, funny show\, with a great cast\, playful direction and hundreds of jokes.’ — Gareth Edwards\, veteran BBC/Channel 4 comedy producer. The script\, by Olivier Award nominees Steven Canny and John Nicholson\, is packed with verbal and visual wit\, delivering a sublimely engaging and hilarious adaptation of this rip-roaring British classic. ‘Bursts with imagination\, intelligence and irreverence’ — The Guardian. Tickets are available via the King’s Head Theatre website.
