SUMMARY:Guest House: Unwriting the Artist’s Statement Online Workshop with Elle Reynolds
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a focused\, playful session of conversation\, making\, and discovering your own voice. This workshop creates space to build confidence\, loosen habits around language\, and allow your voice to develop naturally\, staying close to your practice rather than separate from it. \nUnwriting the Artist’s Statement invites you to abscond from International Art English and respond directly to your work. Moving away from the critical language often used to address contemporary art\, this workshop proposes different protocols for speaking about your practice to the world.  \nThrough a series of guided prompts\, improvisation\, and gentle exercises\, participants will work with revision\, association\, and a deliberate quality of randomness to develop ways of using their own voice. The focus is on speaking through the work rather than separating language from practice. \nThis is a supportive space for play\, experimentation\, and discovery. No previous experience or prepared text is needed.  \nThe workshop is hosted by IMT Gallery and led by artist Elle Reynolds\, whose practice works through collaborative processes\, storytelling\, and material experimentation. Her work explores making as a way of thinking together\, with a particular interest in shared authorship\, provisional forms\, and the social life of materials. \nOver the two hours\, you will: \n\nDevelop new ways of talking about your work that feel personal and less rehearsed\nLoosen habits around formal or institutional language\nBuild confidence in speaking and writing about your practice\nGenerate material you can continue to develop after the session\nConnect with others navigating similar questions around language and practice.\n\nAbout Elle Reynolds: \nArtist/scholarresearcherquiet disrupter\, Elle Reynolds has a background in organising practice. She continually challenges traditional institutional structures\, reimagining the use of time and space. Her art making under the pseudonym Guest-Host-Guest includes object installation\, collaborative events\, performative storytelling and interventions that unsettle the notion of archive through spatial exploration\, participation\, and the disruption of academic language. She holds a PhD investigating alternative art school spaces and serves as a Non-Executive Director and Board member of TOMA (The Other MA)\, an alternative art school in Southend-on-Sea\, Essex. Recent projects include workshops for New Contemporaries and Creative Break Time. She is currently Programme Leader of the Graduate Diploma in Art at Goldsmiths. \nThis workshop is open to all: makers\, artists\, writers\, anti-writers\, poets\, curators at any stage of their practice\, and anyone interested in finding alternative ways to speak about their work. It is especially useful if you are preparing portfolios\, applications\, or exhibitions\, or if you simply want your language to feel more natural and connected to what you do.  \nPlaces are limited to keep the session conversational and supportive—book early to secure your place. \nEarly Bird Rates are available until 29 March at 11:59pm GMT \n_\nImage: ‘Morass’ Mapping by Elle Reynolds

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.

SUMMARY:Alkanna Graeca: live at The Jazz Cafe - Jazz Concert  19/05/26
DESCRIPTION:Alkanna Graeca is a vocal trio weaving Balkan folk traditions with free improvisation and expansive soundscapes. Formed by Dunja Botic\, Alexandra Achillea\, and Irini Arabatzi\, they channel the heritage of their homelands into a ritualistic exploration of voice—songs carrying mountain echoes\, stripped bare\, reshaped\, and reborn\, blurring past and present. \nIrini’s voice\, shaped by her Greek roots\, jazz and South American influences\, has taken her to international stages. Dunja\, a Serbian-Greek singer and actress\, moves seamlessly between theatre and music\, drawing inspiration from Maqam and jazz. Alexandra’s background in classical\, folk\, and experimental music has carried her from opera houses to underground scenes. Together\, they create a sound that is earthy\, timeless\, and steeped in tradition—stripped bare\, transformed\, and reborn through improvisation. \n  \nMusic for London is one of the premier Jazz Band booking agencies in London for concerts\, parties and events

SUMMARY:Nine Sixteenths - London Theatre
DESCRIPTION:At the end of a 25-date UK tour\, the fast\, fun multimedia theatre show Nine Sixteenths\, inspired by the media rise\, fall and rise again of Janet Jackson\, is set for a run at Brixton House\, 19-30 May  \n  \nAt the 2004 Super Bowl\, Justin Timberlake exposed Janet Jackson’s breast and nipple to a huge live TV audience for nine sixteenths of a second. This brief moment derailed Jackson’s career for many years\, while Timberlake’s thrived. \n  \nNine Sixteenths unpacks the rise\, fall\, and rise again of global pop superstar Jackson\, and what this says about how black women are treated by the media. Created by artist/theatre-maker Paula Varjack\, it explores coming of age in the 1990s and the hugely influential role Jackson played\, especially for young black women. It’s fast\, fun and hugely entertaining – the venue and audience are transported to a world of stadium concerts and TV studios. It takes the audience on a journey\, exploring themes of representation and pop culture with a nostalgia for the early 00’s\, and the hopes and dreams of four black female performers through a visual variety of devised theatre\, dance\, and lip-sync. \n  \nIt amply demonstrates how Jackson helped shape our contemporary cultural landscape\, paving the way for artists such as Britney Spears\, Beyoncé\, and Rihanna\, and shows how a struggling video-sharing site called YouTube began attracting clicks when it became the place to rewatch the incident! \n  \nThe tour took in cities including Manchester\, Leeds\, Bristol\, Coventry\, Wolverhampton\, Leicester\, Brighton\, Nottingham\, Oxford and many more. \n  \nPaula said ‘Janet Jackson was a tremendous icon to me at a time when I had relatively few black female artists to look to. She was a game changer in so many ways – and did it on her terms. After her ‘wardrobe malfunction’\, the music industry let her down in ways so effective that many thought her career faded away. Yet she kept working\, making music and films. Now\, finally\, the injustice of what happened is being recognised. In the end\, it’s the art that matters. As an iconic role model for many black women and an outspoken ally for the LGBTQI+ community\, she made great art. The show also looks at why role models matter and the lack of older female role models of colour\, and the role that (largely) white male media executives play in deciding who thrives in mainstream pop culture. \n  \nWho was invested in the backlash and became obsessed with blocking Jackson’s success? Who joked over her humiliation? How have all those involved profited since? \n  \nAll dates feature British Sign Language by Jacqui Beckford and Vinessa Brant as an integral part of the production.

SUMMARY:Don Quixote: Where Passion\, Fire and Every Body Takes the Stage - London Theatre
DESCRIPTION:London Ballet Theatre brings Don Quixote to London this May\, and if you have ever thought that ballet is not for you\, this is the production that will change your mind entirely. \nLondon Ballet Theatre is not like other ballet companies. Built on the belief that dance belongs to everybody\, LBT opens its stage to dancers of all backgrounds\, ages\, abilities\, and body types. There is no body shaming here\, no impossible physical ideal to conform to\, no single vision of what a dancer must look like. LBT Pro brings together accomplished professional artists performing at the very highest level\, while LBT Community welcomes dancers of every experience and ability into the same creative family. Both share the same stage\, the same passion\, and the same conviction that everyone has a role. This is what #ForDancersByDancers truly means\, and you will feel it the moment the curtain rises. \nOn stage\, Don Quixote is pure joy. Set to Minkus’s irresistible\, endlessly energetic score\, it is one of the most vibrant and exhilarating ballets in the classical repertoire: a story of romance\, adventure\, comedy\, and the magnificent stubbornness of the human spirit. LBT’s production is performed with breathtaking passion and technical brilliance\, and it has been crafted to be as thrilling for a first-time audience as it is for a lifelong ballet devotee. \nWhat makes this production truly distinctive is the way it brings the story to life. Video narrations introduce each scene before the dancing begins\, gently and engagingly guiding every audience member into Cervantes’s world so that no one ever feels lost or excluded. Cinematic projections form a vivid\, atmospheric backdrop throughout\, transporting the audience to the sun-drenched plazas and golden landscapes of Spain. The result is a seamless and spellbinding fusion of live ballet\, film and visual artistry that feels unlike anything else currently on the London stage. \nThis season is presented in proud cooperation with the Lord Mayor of Westminster and the British Film Festival. London Ballet Theatre is a sell-out company\, and audiences are warmly encouraged to secure their tickets early. \nWhether you are bringing someone to their very first ballet\, looking for a spectacular and unusual evening out\, or searching for a performance that genuinely reflects the diversity and spirit of this city\, Don Quixote at London Ballet Theatre is your answer. \nLooking to hire Dancers for your Next Events. Music for London has a dedicated dancers for hire category.

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Lloyd Bradley – Funk Is Its Own Reward
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening with Lloyd Bradley\, acclaimed music journalist and cultural historian\, as he discusses his seminal book Funk: Is Its Own Reward\, one of the most definitive explorations of funk music and its enduring cultural impact. \nThis event forms part of The Long Play Sessions\, a curated series hosted by ICMP celebrating influential writers who have shaped how we understand music\, culture and history. Each session brings books to life through live conversation\, context and deep creative insight. \nIn Funk: It’s Its Own Reward\, Bradley traces the evolution of funk from its roots in soul\, jazz and gospel to its explosive influence on hip hop\, electronic music and contemporary pop. More than a genre study\, the book examines funk as a philosophy — a sound rooted in liberation\, identity\, resistance and collective joy. \nDrawing on interviews\, cultural analysis and lived experience\, Bradley explores artists such as James Brown\, Parliament-Funkadelic\, Prince and Sly Stone\, while also unpacking funk’s political power\, its connection to Black identity\, and its role as a radical\, community-driven form of expression. \nBoth scholarly and deeply human\, the book positions funk not just as music you dance to\, but as a worldview — one that celebrates groove\, individuality and freedom on its own terms. \nTickets available here and currently on a limited 2-4-1 offer – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-long-play-sessions-lloyd-bradley-funk-is-its-own-reward-tickets-1987743069028?aff=oddtdtcreator \n\n\nWhat to expect \n\nAn in-depth talk with Lloyd Bradley on the ideas and stories behind Funk: It’s Its Own Reward\nDiscussion on funk’s musical\, cultural and political legacy\nInsights into music journalism\, cultural writing and storytelling\nAudience Q&A\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 enlightening and groove-filled evening with one of the UK’s most respected voices in music writing.

SUMMARY:Colin Blunstone: Believe In Miracles Tour
DESCRIPTION:Colin Blunstone\, lead singer of The Zombies and acclaimed Solo Artist\, returns to UK stages with the “Believe In Miracles” Tour\, his first national solo outing in 7 years.  The tour title is a nod to Blunstone’s 1972 hit “I Don’t Believe In Miracles” (penned by Argent singer/guitarist Russ Ballard)\, but is also a reflection on his remarkable 7-decade career.  Blunstone relates\, “I joined The Zombies as a teen\, thinking it would be a two or three-year adventure.  Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined it would lead to a lifetime in music…and that at the tender age of 80\, I’d be the subject of a documentary\, recording a new album and embarking on a major tour!  His career-spanning show will feature classics from The Zombies\, favourites from his solo releases and collaborations\, and debut new material from his forthcoming studio album.   \nThe Bangles’ Susanna Hoffs said it best during her heartfelt speech inducting The Zombies into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in March 2019:  “Colin…your voice is just plain sexy!” \nThe world first fell in love with that mysteriously silky voice from The Zombies’ 1960s singles “She’s Not There”\, “Tell Her No” and “Time of the Season”.  The band’s untimely demise in late 1967 led Blunstone into a solo career which began in earnest with the release of the lush and string-laden One Year in 1971\, produced by former Zombies’ bandmates Rod Argent and Chris White\, which scored him a Top 15 UK hit with Denny Laine’s “Say You Don’t Mind”.  He has released 10 albums of his own over a period spanning more than 50 years\, including 1972’s Ennismore and 1974’s Journey\, and has lent his remarkable pipes to the recordings of many others\, most notably the Alan Parsons Project\, who featured Blunstone on their 1982 hit “Old and Wise\,” as well as on several albums.  \nA chance reunion with Rod Argent in 1999 brought about a 25-year resurgence for The Zombies\, prolifically touring the world and releasing new material.  In the midst\, Blunstone still managed to record three solo releases – The Ghost Of You And Me in 2009\, On The Air Tonight in 2012 and most recently\, the EP Less is More in early 2024\, a set of 5 sparsely-recorded demos showcasing those velvety vocals accompanied only by acoustic guitar. \nBlunstone celebrated his 80th birthday in June at the London premiere of Hung Up On A Dream: The Zombies Documentary\, the first-ever feature film chronicling the band’s journey from teenage friends to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees (now available on AppleTV and Amazon).   \nWith Argent’s retirement for health reasons in 2024\, Blunstone is refocusing on his solo career while also continuing to celebrate the legacy of The Zombies.  A new album is planned for release in 2026.

SUMMARY:«stadtklang» w/ LILY LYONS | Live @ Ruby Lucy London
DESCRIPTION:LILY LYONS \nLily searches for truth in her music\, exploring simple things that are easily forgotten – not revolutionary\, but the everyday beauty and tragedy of relationships. Each track that Lily writes is a beautiful vignette capturing her experiences so far\, with perceptive lyrics delivered in an elegant voice that could easily sit among the greats. \nAs she started gigging\, turning up to open mics and small shows multiple times a week\, Lily became more in tune with the things she wanted to say in her songs. Using her songwriting to figure out who she is and how she wants to live her life\, Lyons hopes that\, in turn\, her listeners will find the encouragement to “reflect on themselves and feel positive about tomorrow”. \nThursday 28th of May 2026 um 20 Uhr\nRuby Lucy Hotel & Bar\nLower Marsh\nSE1 7RA London

SUMMARY:Tales of Passion and Joy - Concert - Piano Quintets
DESCRIPTION:Vaughan Williams: Piano Quintet in C minor \nSchubert: Piano Quintet in A major D. 667 “The Trout” \nThis programme pairs the Piano Quintet in C minor by Ralph Vaughan Williams with the Piano Quintet in A major\, D. 667 (“Trout”) by Franz Schubert\, offering a focused exploration of how composers have reimagined the piano quintet across time. \nSchubert’s “Trout” Quintet (1819) is notable for its unusual scoring\, replacing the second violin with double bass. This creates a lighter\, more transparent texture and allows the piano to function as an equal partner rather than a dominant voice. The famous variation movement on his song Die Forelle reflects Schubert’s gift for lyricism and clarity of form. \nVaughan Williams’ Piano Quintet (1903) adopts the same instrumentation but produces a markedly different sound world. Richer and more expansive in texture\, it reflects his early engagement with late Romantic style alongside emerging traits of his mature voice\, including modal harmony and broad\, song-like themes. \nTogether\, these works highlight both continuity and contrast: a shared interest in instrumental balance\, but distinct approaches to texture\, form\, and pastoral expression. Schubert’s music evokes lightness and movement\, while Vaughan Williams offers a more reflective and spacious soundscape. Heard side by side\, they present the piano quintet as a flexible and evolving genre. \n  \nClassical Concert Pianists are available for private recitals in London & the rest of the UK via Music for London.

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:Beethoven Unwrapped: Pastoral - Classical Concert
DESCRIPTION:Birdsong\, rushing streams\, countryside dances and a musical thunderstorm: join London Incidental Orchestra for Beethoven Unwrapped: Pastoral\, a relaxed\, story-led classical concert at the beautiful St Gabriel’s Church in Pimlico. \nThis is Beethoven for the curious. Before performing Symphony No. 6\, “Pastoral”\, in full\, conductor Alexander Conway will guide the audience through the music\, revealing the stories\, natural imagery\, structure and hidden details behind one of Beethoven’s most loved works. \nExpect live demonstrations from the orchestra\, humour\, context and a warm\, informal atmosphere. There is no dress code\, and no prior classical knowledge is needed. Whether you are a regular concert-goer or completely new to classical music\, this is a fresh\, friendly and accessible way to experience Beethoven live. \nThe evening opens with Beethoven’s dramatic Egmont Overture\, followed by an Unwrapped introduction to the Pastoral Symphony and a full performance by the London Incidental Orchestra’s 40-piece orchestra. \nThere will also be an audience-conductor raffle in support of Mind UK\, giving one audience member the chance to take centre stage and conduct the orchestra. \nA well-stocked bar will be available before the concert\, during the interval and after the performance. \nPrevious LIO concerts have been described as having “the energy of a comedy set mixed with a live gig and a dash of a history lesson thrown in”. After a previous Beethoven concert\, John Suchet of Classic FM said: “It’s hard to do anything original with Beethoven… but you’ve managed it!” \nAll profits go to Mind UK\, working to make sure nobody has to face a mental health problem alone. \nYou can book classical ensembles in London for recitals and private events in London.
