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:The Long Play Sessions - Melissa Auf der Maur - Even the Good Girls Will Cry - Book Launch & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Long Play Sessions: Melissa Auf der Maur with Even the Good Girls Will Cry\nSat 11 Apr 2026 3:30 PM – 6:00 PM The Venue\, ICMP (Queens Park Campus)\, NW6 6PA \nAn Afternoon with Melissa Auf der Maur – Even the Good Girls Will Cry \nHosted by Stephanie Phillips \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/long-play-sessions-melissa-auf-der-maur-even-the-good-girls-will-cry-tickets-1985907174819?aff=oddtdtcreator \nJoin us for an intimate and compelling afternoon with Melissa Auf der Maur – acclaimed musician\, writer and former bassist of Hole and The Smashing Pumpkins – as she discusses her new memoir\, Even the Good Girls Will Cry\, a vivid and emotionally rich portrait of the 1990s alternative rock era. \nThis event is part of The Long Play Sessions\, ICMP’s curated series spotlighting influential writers\, artists and thinkers who shape the way we understand music\, creativity and contemporary culture. 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:Wartime Christmas at the Royal Hospital Chelsea
DESCRIPTION:Christmas at the Royal Hospital Chelsea has long been a season of joy and tradition – from the stirring of the Christmas pudding to the ceremonial cutting of the festive cake\, and the moving Christmas service in the Hospital’s Chapel. \nBut behind the warmth of these celebrations lies a remarkable story of resilience. As we mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War\, join historian Martin Cawthorne for a poignant talk exploring how the Royal Hospital and its Chelsea Pensioners faced the challenges of wartime – even as bombs fell and rations tightened. \nDrawing from his acclaimed book The Royal Hospital Chelsea at War\, Martin will reflect on how the festive season unfolded during one of the darkest chapters in the Hospital’s history. Discover how Christmas became a symbol of hope\, compassion\, and duty on the Home Front\, even as the Hospital itself stood in the line of fire. \nThis is a moving and insightful event that honours the spirit of those who served – and those who kept the flame of Christmas burning through adversity. \nBook Christmas Entertainment in London

SUMMARY:John Vanbrugh: The Drama of Architecture
DESCRIPTION:To coincide with the publication of his book\, John Vanbrugh: The Drama of Architecture\, Charles Saumarez Smith will give a lunchtime talk on Vanbrugh’s extraordinary life: his upbringing; why he spent so much time in a French gaol; the writing of The Relapse and The Provoked Wife; and how he came to design Castle Howard with no previous experience of architecture. Saumarez Smith will give particular attention to Vanbrugh’s work as a theatrical impresario and the designer of the Queen’s Theatre\, Haymarket\, so disastrous as a venue for plays\, but where all of Handel’s early operas were performed. He will then describe Vanbrugh’s quarrel with the Duchess of Marlborough and his later work as an architect\, at King’s Weston\, Claremont\, Grimsthorpe\, Seaton Delaval and Stowe. In recent years\, Vanbrugh’s reputation as an architect has been eclipsed by his subordinate\, Nicholas Hawksmoor. This talk and the accompanying book will explain Vanbrugh’s originality and influence on later architects from Robert Adam to Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. \nCharles Saumarez Smith is a writer\, curator and art historian. He has served as Director of the National Portrait Gallery and the National Gallery\, London\, as Secretary and Chief Executive of the Royal Academy of Arts\, London\, as Professor of Architectural History at the Royal Academy of Arts\, and Chairman of The Royal Drawing School and The Watercolour World. He is currently a Trustee of the Garden Museum\, and Emeritus Trustee of ArtUK and Charleston. \nCopies of the book will be available for purchase in the Foyer at a special price. \nFurther details of the book available here

SUMMARY:An Accidental History of Tudor England – Chelsea History Festival
DESCRIPTION:How did ordinary people live in Tudor England? This unique analysis unearths the ways they died to find out. Far from the intrigues of Hampton Court Palace\, Shakespeare’s plots and the Spanish Armada\, explore the history of everyday life\, and everyday death. \nThis was a world where farming\, building and travel were dangerous. Fruit trees killed more people than guns\, and sheep killed about the same number of people as coalmines. Men stabbed themselves playing football and women drowned in the hundreds while fetching water. \nFrom bear attacks in north Oxford to a bowls-on-ice incident on the Thames\, Steven Gunn and Tomasz Gromelski use a remarkable trove of sources and stories to put common folk at the heart of Tudor England\, bringing the reality of their world to life as never before.

SUMMARY:Talk: The Dream Factory - Chelsea History Festival
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed author Daniel Swift tells the remarkable story of Shakespeare’s first theatre – the playhouse that came before the Globe. \nAbout the event\nIn 1576\, in a muddy field in Shoreditch\, James Burbage erected London’s first purpose-built commercial playhouse. A place of high culture and quick profit\, run by cunning dreamers\, the theatre for the first time offered London’s players the chance to control what they staged. \nAt a time when playgoing was held to be close to a sin\, this entertainment factory was a flashpoint for controversy\, but it would also become Shakespeare’s first theatre\, where he learned to ply his trade before his company moved to the Globe. \nThrough the life of this little-known playhouse\, Daniel Swift tells the story of how Shakespeare became Shakespeare\, and the Elizabethan stage began to flourish.

SUMMARY:Utoya - UK Premiere

SUMMARY:Attila Bartis: The End | Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Literary meet and greet with EBRD Literary Prize 2024 nominee Attila Bartis featuring his work of prose: THE END\nAuthor Attila Bartis and translator Judith Sollosy discuss the recently published The End with moderator Jozefina Komporaly.\n“The story of a photographer who… No. The story of a man who… No. The story of a love affair that… Or the story of several love affairs that taken together… Or the story of a nation that… Ah\, forget it. This novel offers everything that a novel can possibly offer: truth\, sincerity\, atmosphere\, story. And something else besides that fans of Attila Bartis are familiar with: the irresistible sweep of emotions that carry you with it and won’t let you go. Whether readers consider András Szabad a maniac or fall helplessly in love with him\, either way\, they will feel that life is worth living only as he lives it\, with this intensity. We call a character like him a hero. We are bound to go along with him.” (István Kemény)

SUMMARY:Sunday Papers Live #22 Edition
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Papers Live Returns to Offer The Ultimate Sunday Experience: The Broadsheets Brought to Life \n\n\n\nSunday Papers Live returns to London this November\, transforming every section of the beloved broadsheets into live sessions\, from deep discussions to light-hearted repartee\, delivered by various writers\, artists\, and comedians. \n\n\n\nThis event encapsulates the quintessence of a relaxing Sunday. Each element that defines a leisurely Sunday is reimagined and brought to life from reading papers\, savouring food\, playing games\, and unwinding—all under one roof. The speakers\, a closely guarded secret until the week preceding the event\, promise to echo the eclectic allure of predecessors\, including the likes of Rose McGowan\, Ed Miliband\, Anthony Gormley and Jon Snow. \n\n\n\nFor the first time\, Sunday Papers Live will take over the iconic\, rarely open to the public\, Welsh Chapel on Shaftesbury Avenue\, transforming the stunning Grade II listed church into London’s cosiest living room. Attendees can expect the main hall to be filled with comfy couches\, blankets and pillows\, with Bloody Mary bars and an array of comfort food designed to create the ultimate atmosphere for relaxation. Live music and the Ultimate Pub Quiz will bring the halls to life. For those requiring light activity to keep them entertained\, arts and crafts activities will be available.  \n\n\n\n“Great talks\, big cushions\, strange things happening in a lovely room\, a roast lunch – a mix of traditional Britishness and non-traditional oddness that London does so well.”​ – Jon Ronson \n\n\n\n“Different to anything I’ve seen in London. Smart\, cool\, laid back. Just beautiful.”– Mos Def \n\n\n\nGuests are invited to step into an oasis of comfort\, where attire consisting of PJs and slippers is not just allowed but encouraged. No Sunday would truly be complete without the joyful presence of furry friends\, so pets are welcomed. Wrapped in the warmth of cosy blankets\, Bloody Mary in hand\, attendees will listen to engaging talks by historians\, scientists\, and writers—each contributing to the rich tapestry of the Sunday Papers Live experience.
