SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions | Steve Mason: In Conversation and Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Scottish singer-songwriter and Beta Band founder Steve Mason joins The Long Play Sessions to discuss his long-awaited memoir\, Failure Is Always an Option – a candid\, hilarious and deeply personal account of one of British music’s most fascinating and uncompromising careers.\n\n\n\nFrom the Beta Band’s genre-defying rise in the late 1990s to sold-out tours with Radiohead\, critical acclaim and spectacular self-sabotage\, Steve reflects on the highs\, lows and chaos of a life lived entirely on his own terms. Blending sharp wit with remarkable honesty\, he explores youth culture\, creativity\, addiction\, failure\, success and redemption\, setting the record straight—or\, as he puts it\, “straight-ish.”\n\n\n\nCelebrated by contemporaries including Oasis\, Primal Scream\, The Chemical Brothers\, The Verve and Radiohead\, the Beta Band became one of Britain’s most influential cult bands\, renowned for their fearless experimentation and unforgettable live performances. Following their acclaimed reunion and sold-out return to the stage\, Steve now looks back on the extraordinary story behind the music in what promises to be an unforgettable evening.\n\n\n\nThe event includes an in-depth conversation with Steve and acclaimed author and journalist Travis Elborough\, an audience Q&A\, and a book signing\, with copies of Failure Is Always an Option available to purchase on the night. \n\nWhether you’re a lifelong Beta Band fan or simply love great stories from the world of music\, this is a rare opportunity to hear from one of Britain’s most original and enigmatic artists.

SUMMARY:Colin Manford - off The Record - Comedy
DESCRIPTION:Colin Manford returns with Off The Record- the music investigation nobody asked for\, but absolutely needed. \nA fast-paced\, storytelling stand-up show that digs into the strangest stories\, myths and mysteries hiding in the world of pop music. \nFrom iconic songs and bizarre recording sessions to misheard lyrics\, urban legends and the questionable behaviour of certain celebrities\, Colin pulls apart the moments we all think we know… and reveals the nonsense underneath. Expect detective-style breakdowns\, wild theories\, visual evidence\, audience interaction\, and a level of confidence about facts that really shouldn’t be delivered with confidence. \nFresh from packed shows across the UK\, Colin blends observational stand-up with multimedia chaos\, cartoon noir slides\, and forensic overanalysis of songs that probably don’t deserve it. It’s silly\, clever\, daft and a genuinely unique take on music-based comedy. \n

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions | Kevin Dettmar: In Conversation & Book Signing with Jon King (Gang Of Four)
DESCRIPTION:Punk In Fifty Pieces with Kevin Dettmar and special guest Jon King (Gang of Four)\n\n\n\nFifty years after punk exploded into public consciousness\, Punk in 50 Pieces revisits the songs\, artists and moments that transformed popular music forever.\n\n\n\nKevin Dettmar joins The Long Play Sessions and in his engaging new book\, explores 50 defining tracks that chart punk’s emergence and its evolution into post-punk and new wave. Beginning with the Sex Pistols’ “Anarchy in the U.K.”\, he traces the revolutionary impact of artists including Patti Smith\, The Ramones\, Iggy Pop\, Joy Division\, Siouxsie and the Banshees\, Talking Heads\, Blondie\, Devo\, The Clash\, Public Image Ltd\, X-Ray Spex\, The Cure\, The B-52s\, The Go-Go’s and many more.\n\n\n\nBoth an accessible introduction and a richly informed cultural history\, Punk in 50 Pieces examines how a five-year burst of creativity reshaped rock music and left an enduring influence on popular culture. Combining insightful criticism with an expertly curated soundtrack\, it stands alongside classic works such as Please Kill Me\, Lipstick Traces\, Rip It Up and Start Again and England’s Dreaming as an essential exploration of one of music’s most influential movements.\n\n\n\nKevin Dettmar is the author of Is Rock Dead? and the acclaimed 33⅓ volume on Gang of Four’s Entertainment!. He is also co-editor of Shake It Up: Great American Writing on Rock and Pop from Elvis to Jay-Z and editor of The Cambridge Companion to Bob Dylan.

SUMMARY:Tallulah Rendall Only Human UK Tour (St Pancas Old Church) - Concert
DESCRIPTION:ONLY HUMAN is more than an album — it’s an immersive companion exploring what it means to live with an open heart in a complex world. \nABOUT → TALLULAH RENDALL \nTallulah Rendall’s seventh album\, HUMAN\, is a raw and cinematic exploration of what it means to live with an open heart in a world that often rewards disconnection. Blending alt-pop\, electronic textures\, and organic instrumentation\, the album chronicles her journey from shame and a lack of self-belief to self-acceptance and love; a deeply personal yet universal reflection on the courage to be human.” A love letter to the messy beauty of existence — to falling\, breaking\, healing\, and rising again. Each song is a prayer\, a confession\, a reclamation of self. It’s an album about remembering who we are beneath the noise; raw\, imperfect\, and profoundly alive. \nhttps://www.tallulahrendall.com/  \nTallulah’s performance includes Ben Roberts (cello & vocals)\, Sam Walker (drums & vocals)\, Steffanie Kelly (piano & vocals)\, and David Curtis (double bass) \nAtton=Raon – support \nMulti-Instrumental performer/composer Sam Walker – Sprawling experimental pop flows through soaring melody\, rolling textural beats and pin-drop moments held within a world of sound design\, spoken word\, exquisite lighting and visuals. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/attonraon/

SUMMARY:Ballerinas
DESCRIPTION:“They have two faces. The smiling\, perfect one the audience sees. And then the dark one that emerges behind the curtain\, when the rehearsed smile falls and the face contorts into a grimace because they are choking…” \nPart memoir\, part reckoning\, Ballerinas is a raw\, darkly comic exploration of the elite ballet conservatory system and the feverish atmosphere of the 1990s. Adapted from her acclaimed autobiographical novel\, performer and director Miřenka Čechová traces the often brutal journey of young girls pursuing ballet dreams\, exposing a world shaped by discipline\, ambition and sacrifice. \nBlending movement\, theatre and personal testimony\, Čechová creates a deeply intimate work that lays bare both the physical demands and psychological cost of artistic training. Revisiting past traumas with unsparing honesty and self-deprecating humour\, Ballerinas becomes not only an examination of a toxic system\, but also a powerful search for identity\, resilience and catharsis. \nThe show will be performed in English.  \nMiřenka Čechová is a Czech author\, choreographer\, director and performer whose multidisciplinary practice spans theatre\, dance and documentary storytelling. A former classical ballet dancer and co-founder of the theatre companies Spitfire Company and Tantehorse\, she has built an international reputation for creating deeply personal\, socially engaged works that transform autobiography and real-life testimony into powerful physical theatre. Her acclaimed books and performances include Miss America and Ballerinas\, the latter receiving nominations for both the European Union Prize for Literature and the Theatre Newspaper Award. \nConcept\, Direction and Performance: Miřenka Čechová\nDramaturgy: Martina Kinská\nDirectorial Collaboration: Janka Ryšánek Schmidtová\nTheatrical Collaboration: Tereza Dočkalová\nSet Design: Petr Boháč\, Eva Matoušová\nMusic: Martin Tvrdý\nLive Music: Mary C\nLighting Design: Filip Horn\nAnimation: Linda Arbanová\nVideo: Tereza Vejvodová\nCostumes and Objects: Eva Matoušová\nProduced by: Spitfire Company \nWith the support of the City of Prague. \nThis event is part of the 30th Made in Prague Festival organised by Czech Centre London.

SUMMARY:Huella by Isadora - London Theatre
DESCRIPTION:At the edge of ecological collapse\, Huella unfolds around an ambiguous waterfall carrying the memory of water\, as new geologies emerge. Through eco-poetic symbolism\, a danced installation-performance of textural and flamenco soundscapes traverses dissonant yet porous\, solastalgic bodies and landscapes\, entangled in the waterfall’s trace.\nOpening onto an uncertain time between an altered present and a future archive\, the waterfall holds play\, intimacies\, rituals\, human and animal passages\, alongside contaminated sediments and materials that persist. \nHuella emerges from the lived tension of perceiving the living world’s alteration while continuing to inhabit everyday life. It resonates with solastalgia: the feeling that arises as a familiar environment transforms while we are still living within it.\nThe narrative is embodied through a movement language inspired by contemporary improvisation and the geometries of Vogue and flamenco aesthetics.\nFragments from Lorca’s Suites and Libro de poemas also appear as poetic undercurrents. \nIsadora is a French-Tunisian artist working across movement\, performance and installation\, born in Paris and based in London. As a Vogue performer and member of the Iconic House of Milan (as Isadora Milan)\, she walks balls internationally. She develops an experimental movement language inspired by New Way Vogue\, Arms Control\, contemporary improvisation and flamenco. Her hybrid practice seeks to unsettle dominant perceptions of feminine representation and embodiment\, while increasingly engaging with ecological transformation and with human and more-than-human experiences. She also works with costume and objects as spaces for transformation and play. \nDirected and performed by: Isadora\nInstallation concept: Isadora\nCante: Carlos de Luisa\nOriginal guitar composition and live guitar: Michael McMahon\nCostume design: Isadora\, Amber Jiang\nLighting design: Emma Gasson. \nBooking: https://tickets.thecockpit.org.uk/sales/Shows/voila-festival-2026/huella

SUMMARY:Mark Thomas: 40 In Stand Up Years
DESCRIPTION:What?! Mark Thomas been ‘standing up’ for 40 years? Impossible!! But how old does that make you…? Alas\, it is true; one of our oldest surviving alternative comics celebrates 40 years at the mic. \nSo\, here’s what he has done so far in numbers; performed comedy for 40 years\, won 8 awards for performing\, 4 for human rights work and 1 he invented for himself\, made 6 series of the Mark Thomas Comedy Product (Channel 4)\, written 6 books and 5 play scripts\, made 5 series of the Manifesto for Radio 4\, made 3 Dispatches for Channel 4\, sued the police (and won) 3 times\, curated and authored 2 art exhibitions with artist Tracey Moberly and had 1 Guinness World Record for holding 20 protests in 24 hours. \nSo basically\, expect a taster menu of government and personal mayhem\, jokes\, rants\, and a personal state-of-the-nation broadcast as he tries to turn ‘what the f*ck is going on’ into a cogent hour of stand-up.
