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: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:The Long Play Sessions: A Sound So Very Loud • The story of Oasis with Ted Kessler and Hamish MacBain
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an unmissable night celebrating the music\, madness\, and enduring legacy of Oasis — one of Britain’s most explosive and influential bands.\nThrough the lens of A Sound So Very Loud — the definitive new book by acclaimed music journalists Ted Kessler and Hamish MacBain — this immersive evening dives deep into the songs\, stories\, and chaos that defined a generation. \nThe evening will be hosted by Daniel Rachel\, former musician-turned-award-winning and bestselling author whose previous works include: Isle of Noises: Conversations with Great British Songwriters\, Walls Come Tumbling Down: The Music & Politics of Rock Against Racism\, 2 Tone and Red Wedge and most recently This Ain’t Rock ‘n’ Roll: Pop Music\, The Swastika and The Third Reich (nominated for The Penderyn Music Book prize). \nTickets available here and currently on a limited 2-4-1 offer – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-long-play-sessions-live-forever-the-story-of-oasis-tickets-1984712337027?keep_tld=true \nThe night includes:\n🎤 Book Talk & Q&A\nGo behind the music with two writers who were there from the start. From Supersonic to Champagne Supernova\, uncover the real stories behind Oasis’s biggest hits and the creative friction that made them legendary. Signed copies of A Sound So Very Loud will be available for purchase. \n🎧 Listening Party\nLose yourself in the anthems\, deep cuts\, and hidden gems that shaped the Britpop era. Expect nostalgia\, sing-alongs\, and maybe even a surprise or two. \n👥 About the Authors\nHamish MacBain\nA former writer at NME from 2004 to 2010\, MacBain had a front-row seat to the breakup of Oasis. He penned the words in the band’s final official tour programme and was en route to review their last UK show when it was cancelled. He co-authored Any Road Will Get Us There (If We Don’t Know Where We’re Going) with Noel Gallagher in 2018\, and his sleevenotes for the Be Here Now reissue were featured in the Chasing the Sun: 1993–1997 Oasis exhibition. \nTed Kessler\nKessler was on staff at NME from 1993 to 2003 before joining Q magazine\, where he worked for sixteen years\, including four as editor. He first interviewed Oasis in 1994 around their debut single Supersonic\, and his final interview with the band was in Amsterdam in 2009\, just before their split. 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. Each session goes beyond the page\, offering live conversation\, cultural context and creative insight into the stories that shape music history. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for an essential evening exploring one of the loudest\, boldest and most influential moments in British music history.

SUMMARY:Curating at Home: Making Personal Spaces of Creative Agency with Dr Mark Rohtmaa-Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a four-session online course exploring how we live with art\, and how the art we live with shapes the way we live. \nCurating at Home: Making Personal Spaces of Creative Agency invites you to look closely at the rooms\, objects\, and artworks that surround you. Drawing on art practices\, histories\, philosophy\, exhibition-making\, and practices of everyday attention\, we will explore how meaning is shaped through arrangement\, context\, and the lived rhythms of domestic space. \nAcross four fortnightly sessions\, we will consider how art lives with us\, and how our gestures and choices quietly curate the places we inhabit. Each session includes case studies\, creative exercises\, and guided activities designed to help you think with and through your own environment. \nLed by artist\, educator\, and curator Dr Mark Rohtmaa-Jackson and hosted by IMT Gallery\, the course offers a reflective and practical space for artists\, collectors\, curators\, students\, and anyone interested in how art shapes everyday life. \nPlaces are limited — the course begins on 12 April. \nEarly Bird rates are available until January 9 at 11:59 p.m. GMT. \nReady to rethink the spaces you live in?

SUMMARY:STASH - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Anastasia Lewis was known as Stash to family and close friends. They celebrate the late painter’s life and art with a retrospective of work created over a period of 30 years as a full-time artist. \nAnastasia Lewis described her practice as primarily concerned with what lies beneath the perceived surface rather than an apparent reality. A strong sense of structure defines her work\, from the formal grids of earlier works and butterflies caught in patterns and repetitions\, to more recent landscapes informed by walks along the Lincolnshire coast. \nPrimarily a painter\, she also created works on paper\, collage and photography while waiting for the paint to dry. Geometry and nature come together in the vibrant abstracts Anastasia Lewis shared in her final few Instagram posts\, captioned as ‘the traces we leave as we walk’.

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: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: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: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:Noisy World - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:With simple line drawings of ordinary objects and mundane moments\, Perfect outlines an alternative vision to the competitive pursuit of perfectionism in modern society. \nAs though retrieved from a surreal flower press\, people\, plants and vessels are presented flattened and slightly out of shape; multiple minimalist selves cross architectural and art historical references; impressions of unrelated scenes captured on paper. \nWith each drawing a gentle act of rebellion\, against colour theory and perspective\, against hierarchies between foreground and background\, humans and things\, Noisy World celebrates the humane and humorous aspects of everyday life. \nGallery opening hours:\nSaturdays 10 am – 4 pm\nSundays 12 noon – 4 pm
