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: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: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: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: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: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: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:Summer Music in City Churches – ‘Around the World’ – Concerts in the Square Mile
DESCRIPTION:A nine-day celebration of music in the City of London \nSet in the heart of London’s historic Square Mile\, Kestrel Music’s nine-day festival\, Summer Music in City Churches\, returns with a world-class roster of artists taking a musical voyage ‘Around the World’. Hosted across five atmospheric\, acoustically rich churches\, this year’s theme explores music inspired by cities\, landscapes and traditions. From traditional song and jazz arrangements\, to lush choral harmonies and orchestral favourites\, the programme celebrates sounds of town and country\, both at home and abroad. \nGuest artists are drawn from the finest musicians and collaborative partnerships performing internationally today\, including Rachel Nicholls and Michael Dussek\, Lucy Parham with Juliet Stevenson\, Mark Bebbington with Alistair McGowan\, and Iain Farrington’s jazz trio. Joining them will be multi-talented duo Eleanor Grant and Gus McQuade\, and young singers from Hackney Choral. A wealth of chamber music further enriches the programme\, with lunchtime performances by Brother Tree Sound\, Tier3 Trio\, Cassatt Trio\, and Sonas Quartet. \nOpening the festival\, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Gergely Madaras conjure the Mediterranean warmth of Spain and Italy in works by Rossini\, Ravel and Mendelssohn. They are joined by guitarist Jack Hancher\, 2022 Royal Overseas League Gold Medalist and EuroStrings Artist\, as soloist in Rodrigo’s evocative Concierto de Aranjuez. \nThere are opportunities to hear the City of London Choir led by Daniel Hyde on two contrasting occasions performances; as part of a Festival Choral Evensong in the grand tradition of British cathedrals\, and to celebrate traditional song rooted in the land – from George Shearing’s jazz settings to Elgar in Bavaria\, in the festival’s delightful finale\, ‘Islands and Highlands’. \nSummer Music in City Churches was founded in 2018\, presenting beautiful music to engage\, divert and inspire\, in ancient and architecturally stunning churches in London’s Square Mile. Standing cheek by jowl with City offices\, these churches are glorious settings in which to listen and reflect: oases of history\, beauty and peace amidst the 24-7 hurly-burly of City life. \nFurther information and how to book \nFull programme\, venues\, timings and ticket sales can be found on the website. \nTicket prices range from £15 to £35\, with half-price discounts available for students and those under 25. For those wishing to attend multiple events\, a festival season ticket provides excellent value at £120. \n(Photo of Royal Philharmonic Orchestra by Ben Wright)
