SUMMARY:Tomi Balogh – A Reason To Listen
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome back London-based pianist\, composer\, and producer\, Tomi Balogh\, to the Liszt Institute London for a special pre-release concert of his newest album\, A Reason To Listen. \nA Reason To Listen is his most personal work to date. Inspired by his son Samuel\, who was diagnosed with a rare genetic syndrome shortly after birth\, the album is a meditation on unconditional love\, on finding joy in unexpected places\, and on learning to let go of expectations. It is a story that extends far beyond one family — a reminder that every person deserves to be loved exactly as they are. \nJoining Tomi for this special evening are featured collaborators from the album: Rick Leon James the multi-instrumentalist\, bass player and producer\, Zsofi Bartal flautist\, Selina Albright\, vocalist and Daniel Deej John on drums. Together\, they bring the album to life in an intimate live setting before its release to the world. \nAlongside the music\, Tomi is partnering with charities that support families raising children with additional needs – and this concert is part of that wider conversation. \nAdmission is free. Registration via Eventbrite is required.

SUMMARY:Pascol - Vocal Performance at The Cockpit
DESCRIPTION:After a major success at Voila! Festival 2025 and several sold-out performances at London theatres\, Pascol comes to the Cockpit stage for one night only.  \nOn 28 April\, Pascol presents an intimate vocal performance that invites you to bring your stories and experience how they are transformed live through voice\, movement\, and collective improvisation. \nBlending live vocal improvisation and audience storytelling\, the performance transforms personal memories into sound — emotional\, unpredictable\, and never the same twice. \nLed by project founder Sasha Gefen — a musician\, composer\, and music therapist — Pascol brings together six vocalists who turn audience stories into improvised soundscapes. Each performance begins with an open invitation: audience members are welcome to share a story or memory. In response\, the ensemble listens\, moves\, and sings together\, composing live using only voice and physical expression — no instruments\, no script. \nThe result is a collective\, deeply human experience — a musical reflection shaped by the emotions and presence in the room. Harmonies and layered vocal textures echo the audience’s inner world\, offering an intimate encounter where individual stories become shared sound. \nCombining improvisation\, storytelling\, and emotional resonance\, Pascol offers an intimate space where individual stories become collective experiences — fleeting\, expressive\, and deeply human.

SUMMARY:Fanfares for Leoš Janáček\, with special guest Jakub Hrůša
DESCRIPTION:An evening devoted to the electrifying late music of Leoš Janáček\, marking 100 years since the premiere of his jubilant masterpiece\, the Sinfonietta. \n\nConductor Jakub Hrůša\, writer and broadcaster Nigel Simeone\, and leading Janáček scholar Jiří Zahrádka explore the composer’s extraordinary creative surge in the final decade of his life. From his transformative meeting with Kamila Stösslová in 1917 to the radiant\, defiant energy of works like the Sinfonietta\, the discussion traces how personal passion and an unmistakably original musical language combined to produce some of the most compelling music of the 20th century. \nInterwoven with musical examples and personal reflections\, this is above all a celebration of Janáček’s enduring voice – alongside the launch of two new publications: Janáček’s Sinfonietta by Nigel Simeone and Jiří Zahrádka (Boydell\, 2026) and Káťa Kabanová and The Cunning Little Vixen: Janáček’s New Lease of Life by Jiří Zahrádka (Host\, 2026). \nJakub Hrůša is Music Director of the Royal Opera\, Covent Garden\, Chief Conductor of the Bamberg Symphony and Music Director Designate of the Czech Philharmonic (from 2028). Born in Brno\, he has been an ardent champion of Czech music around the world. The production of Janáček’s Makropulos Case at Covent Garden in 2025 has been nominated for an Olivier Award\, and many of his recordings have won international recognition\, including the Gramophone Opera Award for Káťa Kabanová at the Salzburg Festival. His complete cycle of Bohuslav Martinů’s symphonies will be released later this year by Deutsche Grammophon. \nNigel Simeone is a writer and broadcaster with a lifelong interest in Janáček. He is the author of several books on the composer including The Janáček Compendium (2019) and he is co-author the standard catalogue of Janáček’s works (1997). He appears regularly on BBC Radio 3 (Record Review\, Opera on 3\, and the Proms)\, and has written programme notes for the Royal Opera House\, London Symphony Orchestra\, Salzburg Festival\, Glyndebourne Festival and others. \nJiří Zahrádka is Director of the Janáček Archive in Brno and a musicologist. He is the editor of critical editions of many works by Janáček including the Sinfonietta\, Taras Bulba\, Káťa Kabanová\, The Cunning Little Vixen and The Makropulos Affair\, and he is the author of several books on Janáček including acclaimed full-length studies of the operas\, most recently Káťa Kabanová and The Cunning Little Vixen. \n\nAdmission: £5 (+ Eventbrite fee)\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:DEAR NORA + TAI HAF HEB DRIGOLYN
DESCRIPTION:Upset The Rhythm presents… \nDEAR NORA (DUO)\nTAI HAF HEB DRIGOLYN\nWednesday 22 April\nThe Lexington\, 96-98 Pentonville Rd\, Angel\, London\, N1 9JB\n7.30pm | £12 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/F39394c4d08b \nDEAR NORA is an ever-evolving indie-pop band fronted by songwriter/producer Katy Davidson\, and features a rotating cast of collaborators. Davidson was born in Arizona and has also lived in Oregon and California. The energy\, intensity\, and vastness of the western United States landscape imbue the songwriting and recordings. \nDear Nora has existed in two distinct eras – 1999-2008 and 2017-present – with a roughly decade-long break in the middle (the “Lost Years”)\, during which Davidson fronted various side projects and played session guitar/keyboards in the bands YACHT and Gossip. Dear Nora’s early music leans more toward pop-punk\, DIY\, confessional\, and youthful. The contemporary music leans more poetic\, expansive\, genre-bending\, and wise. The through-lines between Dear Nora’s two eras are: melodic hooks\, vocal harmonies\, and lyrics about time\, space\, capitalism\, the internet\, daily life vérité\, ancient things\, real vs. unreal or surreal\, and all kinds of relationships. \nPartially because Dear Nora’s early years happened before the rise of smartphones and social media (prior to hyper digital documentation)\, and because very little content survives this era aside from the analogue recordings\, the group is often described as “legendary” (as in\, “legend/myth”). Rediscovered via streaming platforms and word of mouth\, Dear Nora’s music has influenced many young songwriters. \nhttps://dearnora.bandcamp.com/ \nTAI HAF HEB DRIGOLYN are a band from Wales. Built atop of a DIY Ethos\, THHD have a fantastic ability to merge their musical brain with real life surroundings\, perfectly represented by “Ein Albwm Cyntaf Ni” recorded straight onto tape directly sampling the sounds that they recorded over. It’s rare for music this genuine and human to arrive with this quality and quantity; this is a special act that has to be seen to be believed. THHD are obsessed with the Elephant 6 collective\, and as such have members spread across the country; they also stumble in the footsteps of R. Pollard and D. R. Edwards. \nhttps://taihafhebdrigolyn.bandcamp.com/

SUMMARY:LANDE HEKT + THE POPGUNS + MUMBLE TIDE
DESCRIPTION:Upset The Rhythm presents….. \nLANDE HEKT\nTHE POPGUNS\nMUMBLE TIDE\nSunday 19 April\nMOTH Club\, Old Trades Hall\, Valette St\, London\, E9 6NU\n7pm | £13.50 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/f4d01f8d742e \nLANDE HEKT has quietly become one of the UK’s best underground songwriters. On her 2021 debut full-length\, Going To Hell\, and 2022’s House Without a View\, she explored her queer identity\, sobriety\, and childhood trauma through the lens of heartfelt\, conversational indie-pop\, which led to spots opening for the likes of Alvvays\, Throwing Muses\, and The Beths. Her new album\, Lucky Now\, written and recorded with producer Matthew Simms (Wire\, It Hugs Back)\, reflects the most mature and confident version of Lande Hekt yet. “I’m not as concerned about how I’m presenting myself\,” Hekt says. “I’ve tried to think less about how things are coming across\, and just write songs that make me feel connected to myself and what I value.”\nHekt’s musical touchstones – The Wedding Present\, The Sundays\, The Replacements – remain the same\, but at the same time\, she’s delved deeper into other influences. Lucky Now is indebted to 1980s twee-pop and jangle-pop like The Pastels\, Tallulah Gosh and The Bats\, as well as to more modern iterations of the sound\, such as Autocamper and Jeanines\, in its ecstatic\, soaring melodies and gorgeous\, tactile guitars. The sound is fitting for Hekt’s new lyrical outlook\, where\, though despair and anxiety rear their heads\, she digs deep to find the gratitude. During the album’s recording\, Hekt also moved from Bristol back to her hometown of Exeter. In a lot of ways\, Lucky Now is about return – return to joy\, return to places and parts of the self once left behind. Who you once were can seem unreachable\, but sometimes you can build a bridge. \nhttps://landehekt.bandcamp.com \nTHE POPGUNS are an indie pop band formed in Brighton in 1986\, known for their melodic sound\, chiming guitars\, and the vocals of Wendy Morgan (now Pickles). Often associated with the late 80s/early 90s indie scene\, they achieved success with singles like “Landslide” and quintessential albums ‘Eugenie’ and ‘Snog’ before a hiatus. In 2012\, the band resumed live performances with six gigs. A three-track 7″ single\, “Lovejunky”\, was released in late 2014\, followed by a new album\, ‘Pop Fiction’\, on Matinée Recordings. Soundblab ranked the album at Number 2 on their Top 10 Releases of the year. The band have continued to tour and record new material\, and released the single “So Long” in May 2017\, followed quickly by the album ‘Sugar Kisses’.\nhttps://thepopguns.bandcamp.com/ \nMUMBLE TIDE is a Bristol-based DIY indie-pop duo formed by vocalist/lyricist Gina Leonard and multi-instrumentalist/producer Ryan Rogers. Known for their “scrappy” bedroom-pop sound\, the former couple creates music that blends grunge\, folk\, and electronic elements. Inspired by the free-flowing rhythms of 60’s American folk\, the aim was to find a balance between Roger’s vivid arrangements and Leonard’s evocative lyrics\, one that truly captured the bittersweet depths of their songwriting. The group’s debut album\, ‘Might As Well Play Another One’\, was released last year on Breakfast Records. \nhttps://mumbletide.bandcamp.com/music

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Matt Thorne with FAMOUS: Ego\, Envy and Ambition in Pop\, Rock and Hip-Hop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening with Matt Thorne\, acclaimed author\, critic and cultural commentator\, as he discusses his thought-provoking book Famous\, an insightful exploration of fame\, creativity and modern celebrity culture. \nThis event forms part of The Long Play Sessions\, a curated series hosted by ICMP celebrating writers who shape how we understand music\, media and contemporary culture. Each session goes beyond the page\, offering live conversation\, critical context and creative insight. \nIn Famous\, Thorne examines what it really means to be famous in the modern world — how celebrity is constructed\, consumed and mythologised\, and how it impacts artists\, audiences and society at large. Drawing on music\, film\, literature and pop culture\, the book explores the tension between visibility and identity\, success and selfhood. \nRather than glamourising fame\, Thorne asks deeper questions about ambition\, validation and the cost of being seen. The book is especially resonant in an era shaped by social media\, constant exposure and the pressure to build a public persona\, making it essential reading for anyone pursuing a creative career today. \nSmart\, accessible and deeply reflective\, Famous offers a critical lens on the cultural systems that elevate — and often exploit — creative talent. \nWhat to expect \nA talk from Matt Thorne on the themes and ideas behind Famous \nDiscussion around fame\, identity and creativity in the modern music and media landscape \nInsights into writing\, criticism and cultural analysis \nAudience Q&A \nBook signing opportunity — bring your copy or purchase one on the night \nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for a thoughtful and engaging evening with one of the UK’s most perceptive cultural writers.

SUMMARY:BILL ORCUTT + ALEXANDER TUCKER
DESCRIPTION:Upset The Rhythm presents… \nBILL ORCUTT\nALEXANDER TUCKER\nMonday 13 April\nBush Hall\, 310 Uxbridge Rd\, Shepherds Bush\, London W12 7LJ\n7.30pm | £18 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/U67bfce667c6 \nBILL ORCUTT is a guitarist and composer. He has been described as “thrillingly original” (Will Ainsley\, Bandcamp Daily) as “a go-for-broke guitar improviser” (Ben Ratliff\, New York Times) “\, creating a new language (Marc Masters\, Pitchfork) whose playing would “make Derek Bailey do a double-take” (Lars Gotrich\, NPR). Orcutt tours actively\, appearing at festivals worldwide\, including Rewire (The Hague)\, Presences Electronique (Paris)\, Jazz em Agosto (Lisbon)\, Goner Fest (Memphis)\, Musique Actuelle (Victoriaville)\, Big Ears (Knoxville)\, Music Unlimited (Wels)\, Le Guess Who? (Utrecht)\, Nouveau Festival du Centre Pompidou (Paris)\, Unsound (Kraków)\, une session à Maida Vale pour BBC 3 (London) et un Tiny Desk concert pour NPR. \n2025 saw Orcutt release ‘Another Perfect Day’\, his first solo electric guitar record since 2017’s eponymous Bill Orcutt. While that eight-year gap might not seem like a ton of time on the cosmic scale\, it nonetheless represents a busy half-decade plus for Orcutt projects: a raft of improv collaborations\, an acclaimed run of chopped and looped albums on Fake Estates\, and the collision of Orcutt’s computer and guitar music on Music For Four Guitars and last year’s How to Rescue Things\, both on Palilalia. The undeniable alchemy of those latter mashups inspired not only a wider appreciation of Orcutt-as-composer\, but also the resurrection of Orcutt-as-bandleader\, as the Bill Orcutt Quartet hit the road in support of Four Guitars\, Orcutt’s first work with a proper score. ‘Another Perfect Day’ sees Orcutt building tension with short phrases\, repeated with slight variability until it seems like they’ll never stop\, finally slamming into a fresh line like the dawning valley at the crest of the mountain pass. It’s an affirmation that Orcutt is above all a lead player – angular runs scaling the heavens\, ricocheting back to ground zero before climbing again.\nhttps://billorcutt.bandcamp.com/ \nALEXANDER TUCKER returns to the guitar after spending the last few years focusing on his modular experimental techno guise MICROCORPS. Since the early 2000s\, Tucker has released solo guitar and cello-based albums on Thrill Jockey Records\, Subtext\, and ATP Recordings\, blending songs\, electronics\, strings\, vocals and extended techniques. Creating music that sits between structured songwriting\, composition\, drone\, and noise\, Tucker is also a prolific collaborator\, with projects that include tape-loop duo Imbogodom and electronic pop with Grumbling Fur and Charlemagne Palestine. More recent live collaborations include work with Lasse Marhaug\, Kenichi Iwasa\, and Elvin Brandhi. \n2026 sees Tucker melding his past work with acoustic guitar with his present explorations with modular synth systems and electronics\, processing minimal steel-string guitar into unrecognisable sonic forms through improvisation\, synthesis and electronic manipulation. Tucker’s investigations into electroacoustic and music concrete composition have led him to seek out ways to warp\, stretch and mangle his own guitar playing beyond its original form\, revelling in the sheer pleasure of transforming sound and creating imaginary and unspoken spaces. \nhttps://alexandertucker.bandcamp.com/music

SUMMARY:Gothic Opera presents: Die Rheinnixen
DESCRIPTION:Unconventional opera company Gothic Opera returns to Battersea Arts Centre this Halloween\, this time with the UK staged premiere of Die Rheinnixen (The Nixies of the Rhine)\, an unjustly neglected\, Romantic work by Jacques Offenbach. \nDie Rheinnixen\, which is Offenbach’s first take on grand opera\, encompasses the growing nationalism of its time\, as well as the genre’s fascination with the supernatural. Gothic Opera is delighted to be staging this horror story for the first time in the UK. \nIn the capable hands of the award-winning international stage director Max Hoehn\, the evocative crumbling architecture of Battersea Arts Centre’s Grand Hall will be transformed into the time of the Weimar Republic\, a period of nationalism and unease. \nIn a bold production that will speak to our current times\, Gothic Opera will be joined by exciting conductor Hannah von Wiehler\, who has a very busy career across Europe. Leon Haxby\, the young composer whose previous work for the company was praised in Opera magazine for its “haunting magic” and “compassionate insight\,” has created a new chamber orchestration of the opera for seven instruments. A cast of talented singers will bring the characters and story to life. \nDie Rheinnixen performance details:\n30th October\, 7.30pm\n31st October\, 7.30pm\n1st November\, 7.30pm\n2nd November\, 5.00pm \nSung in German with English surtitles.

Each session opens a window into the stories behind the art – blending conversation\, cultural insight and lived experience. \nIn Even the Good Girls Will Cry\, Auf der Maur offers a clear‑eyed\, fiercely honest account of her unexpected ascent through one of the most iconic\, turbulent periods in modern rock history. From her beginnings in Montreal’s bohemian music scene\, to joining Hole at a time of grief and reinvention\, to performing alongside figures such as Courtney Love\, Billy Corgan\, Dave Grohl\, Rufus Wainwright and Michael Stipe\, her memoir captures the chaos\, beauty and brutality of the last analogue decade. \nFar from nostalgia\, Auf der Maur explores identity\, ambition\, survival and self‑expression in an era before social media – when artists crafted their worlds long before they crafted their online personas. Her reflections offer rare female perspectives from within a landscape that was often mythologised but rarely shown through a woman’s eyes. \nWith praise from Shirley Manson\, Walton Goggins\, Natasha Lyonne and Martha Wainwright\, the memoir is a powerful\, poetic and unflinchingly human portrait of a generation that defined modern alternative culture. \nWhat to Expect\n\nA talk from Melissa Auf der Maur on the stories\, themes and revelations behind Even the Good Girls Will Cry\nDeep‑dive discussion on creativity\, identity and navigating fame within 1990s alternative rock\nInsights into authorship\, memory and the process of capturing a cultural moment on the page\nAudience Q&A\, offering a chance to engage directly with Melissa about her life\, art and writing\nBook signing opportunity — bring your copy or purchase one at the event\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for a thoughtful\, inspiring and powerfully personal evening with one of alternative rock’s most distinctive and fearless voices. \nLocation\nThe Venue\, ICMP (Queens Park Campus)\, NW6 6PA

SUMMARY:Easter Uprising: Urvashi
DESCRIPTION:Urvashi is an independent London-based collective\, formed in January 2023. Inspired by the band’s shared love for traditional and modern music\, they draw equally from Indian Qawwali\, Arabic Tarab\, modal jazz and hard rock. \nTheir tracks layer both original melodies and fresh interpretations of traditional songs\, over grooves reimagined from different musical backgrounds\, combined with extensive improvisation. \nIn recent months\, Urvashi has been undertaking significant artistic development\, investigating how their love of modal jazz and devotional music traditions can engage with UK rave culture\, specifically drum and bass and techno. Drawing inspiration from artists who bridge electronic and jazz traditions\, the collective is developing an entirely new performance practice that translates electronic dance music into improvisation-led formats.

SUMMARY:Jazz in the House: Maydan Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:The Maydan Ensemble traverses international bounds and genres\, creating an inclusive and irresistible sound that blends modern jazz with Arabic\, Anatolian and Persian folk music.\nThe Maydan Ensemble of the North London Jazz Collective is a fully international quintet comprising some of London’s busiest jazz musicians: the rising-star vocalist Amena from Egypt\, acclaimed Irish-Iranian jazz guitarist Kourosh Kanani\, ⁠Italian-English bassist and stalwart of the London jazz scene Lorenzo Morabito\, Londoner Robbie Ellison on drums and one the finest Iranian folk musicians in London\, Parham Bahadoran on reeds (zurna\, duduk and clarinet). \n‘Maydan’ means ‘town square’ or ‘public meeting place’. Originating in Farsi\, the word is now used across Arabic\, Turkish\, Urdu\, Kurdish\, Georgian and Ukrainian. The name reflects the group’s belief that music\, like the town square\, is where cultures meet — rooted in communal life and shared experience\, with the power to connect and\, at times\, quietly challenge. \nTheir repertoire explores the meeting point between jazz and Middle Eastern musical traditions from two directions: jazz standards inspired by West Asia\, and the group’s own jazz-inflected arrangements of Arabic\, Anatolian and Persian folk songs. \nHaving formed at the start of 2025\, the Maydan Ensemble have wowed audiences\, selling out multiple venues across UK and beyond\, including Palestine House and the Green Note\, as well as recently headlining Zeman World Music Festival in Serbia. \n  \nPerformers\n\nAmena – vocals\nParham Bahadoran – duduk / clarinet / vocals\nKourosh Kanani – guitar\nRobbie Ellison – drums\nLorenzo Morabito – bass \n\nTickets \n\nStandard £15.50\nUnwaged Concession £12.50\nUnder 35s Concession £8\n\nPlease note that all tickets\, including tickets purchased on the door\, are subject to a £1.50 booking fee.

SUMMARY:KEIJI HAINO - Concert
DESCRIPTION:Upset The Rhythm presents… \nKEIJI HAINO\nTuesday 17 March\nICA\, The Mall\, London\, SW1Y 5AH\n7.30pm | £25 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/V8e7432de701 \nKEIJI HAINO was born in Chiba\, Japan\, on May 3\, 1952. Inspired by Antonin Artaud\, he aimed for the theatre\, but an encounter with The Doors stimulated him into music\, where he has examined and absorbed a wide range of expressions from the early blues\, especially Blind Lemon Jefferson\, or European medieval music\, to popular songs across the world.  In 1970\, he joined a group\, Lost Aaraaf\, named after Edgar Allan Poe’s poem\, as a vocalist. Meanwhile\, he started to work on home recordings and learned the guitar and percussion autodidactically. In 1978\, Haino formed a rock band Fushitsusha\, and since 1988\, after a recuperation period from 1983 to 1987\, he has been internationally active in various forms including solo\, groups such as Fushitsusha\, Nijiumu\, Aihiyo\, Vajra\, Sanhedrin\, Seijaku\, Nazoranai or The Hardy Rocks and DJ as “experimental mixture\,” as well as in collaboration with artists from different backgrounds\, drawing the performance of the guitar\, percussion\, hurdy gurdy\, string instruments\, wind instruments\, local instruments from across the world and DJ gears to the extreme through idiosyncratic techniques. Haino has released more than 200 recordings and performed live at least 2\,000 times. \nIn March 2026\, Japan\, Haino will present two exclusive performances in Europe on polygonola\, a metal-flat polygonal instrument\, based on the 2nd dimensional vibration theory\, built by Naoki Skura. One of these performances will take place at the ICA on March 17th. \nhttps://keijihaino.bandcamp.com \n“Keiji Haino towers over the Japanese underground: his colossally heavy guitar excursions inspired a whole generation of psychedelic rockers\, but his omnivorous musical appetites have also seen him collaborate with jazz musicians\, branch out into DJing\, and play an entire gamelan orchestra single-handedly. There’s no knowing what to expect from a Haino gig” – Time Out Tokyo \n“Keiji Haino lives among the class of improvisers who roam so far from what we usually call form — meaning\, basically\, rules — that they make you question whether what they’re doing is music.” – New York Times \n

SUMMARY:Joseph Tawadros: live in London
DESCRIPTION:Cairo-born\, 8-time ARIA-award winner Joseph Tawadros is one of the world’s masters of his chosen instrument\, the oud – an Arabic lute-type fretless stringed instrument\, the ancestor of the Western lute and modern guitar. \nA virtuoso of diversity and sensitivity\, Joseph performs in concert halls worldwide and is known for his brilliant technique\, deep musicianship\, storytelling and joyous style of performance. For this rare solo performance in the UK\, Joseph will present an exciting programme of original music. His compositions draw inspiration from the Arabic modal system (maqam) and blend it seamlessly with elements of Western classical\, jazz\, world\, folk\, and even metal and bluegrass. \nRanging from thrilling\, furiously paced numbers to beautifully introspective and tranquil pieces\, the program is woven together by Joseph’s trademark lyricism and the striking contemporary musicality of his oud. \n  \nHire Oud Players in London
