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.

Partnering with Heinz has given us the opportunity to create an experience that celebrates incredible food\, bold flavours and the joy of sharing great sandwiches. For a family-run independent business\, partnering with Heinz is incredibly special. It’s recognition of the journey we’ve been on and confidence in where we’re heading next.” \nAditi Hilgers at Kraft Heinz said\, “At Heinz\, we’re always looking for new ways to bring people together through food\, and the Birria Beef Sandwich does exactly that. Birria has become one of the world’s most exciting food trends\, and partnering with Sandwich Sandwich gave us the perfect opportunity to reimagine it in a way that’s bold\, indulgent and unmistakably Heinz. Bringing the picnic indoors felt like the perfect way to celebrate a launch that’s all about enjoying great food together – whatever the British weather has in store” \nThe launch marks the latest collaboration between two brands known for creating crave-worthy food. Sandwich Sandwich has built a devoted following thanks to its generously filled sandwiches and viral social media moments\, while Heinz continues to reinvent classic sauces through bold partnerships and new flavours. \nWhether it’s snapping photos in London’s most unexpected picnic spot\, getting your hands on one of 500 free sandwiches\, or simply tasting one of this summer’s most talked-about menu launches\, the Birria Picnic promises to be a must-visit event for food lovers.

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:What Nature Tells Me – Orchestra for the Earth
DESCRIPTION:What Nature Tells Me\n\n\nAlpine Tour Launch Concert\n\n\n\n\nSaturday 20 June 2026 · 7.30pm \nSt John’s Waterloo\, SE1 8TY \nPublic booking is open. \nPrice – Pay what you can (suggested: £15) \nOrchestra for the Earth launches its 2026 Alpine Tour\, What Nature Tells Me\, with a London concert at St John’s Waterloo on Saturday 20 June\, before travelling by train and coach to Austria for a series of performances and education projects in places closely connected to Gustav Mahler’s life and music. \nNow in its ninth year\, the Alpine Tour has become one of the orchestra’s defining projects: an ongoing exploration of the relationship between music\, landscape and listening\, centred on Mahler and the Alpine environments in which much of his music was conceived.\nThe 2026 programme\, What Nature Tells Me\, traces a single musical arc through Mahler’s life\, from the freshness and folk-like early songs to the profound stillness of ‘Der Abschied’ (‘The Farewell) from Das Lied von der Erde (‘The Song of the Earth’). The London concert features\nrising British baritone Michael Lafferty\, with Mahler’s works arranged for chamber orchestra by conductor John Warner. \nThe programme also includes the world premiere of Eat Your Rage\, a new commission by London-based composer Zhenyan Li\, whose work has been performed by ensembles including the London Symphony Orchestra and Ensemble Modern. The commission is a response to Mahler’s musical evocations of nature and forms part of OE’s ongoing commitment to placing new music alongside established repertoire within the same artistic and environmental context. \nFollowing the London launch\, the orchestra travels to Austria from 22–26 June\, including a performance at the Gustav Mahler Festival in Steinbach am Attersee\, where Mahler spent several summers composing\, and a concert on an open-air stage in Steinach am Brenner\, another\nplace closely associated with his summer retreats. When Bruno Walter visited Mahler in Steinbach in 1896\, he marvelled at the surrounding landscape. Mahler replied simply: “No need to look around — I have already composed it all.” The Alpine Tour returns that idea to its source\, placing the music back into dialogue with the\nenvironments that helped shape it. \nMarina Mahler\, Founding Patron of Orchestra for the Earth\, said: “It is deeply moving to see my grandfather’s music brought back into the landscapes that inspired it\, and to see young people included in that experience. This kind of thoughtful\, living engagement with Mahler’s work is both true to its origins and urgently relevant now.” \nWhat Nature Tells Me takes place at St John’s Waterloo\, London\, on Saturday 20 June 2026 at 7.30pm. \nLondon is the home to several dynamic String Ensembles\, including soloists and String Quartets. They are available for hire from Music for London.
