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: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:The Long Play Sessions: Stephanie Phillips (Big Joanie): In Conversation & Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:We Were Here: A History of Black People and Alternative Music\n\n\n\nStephanie Phillips joins The Long Play Sessions and discusses We Were Here as she rewrites the story of rock ’n’ roll and alternative music\, placing Black artists at the heart of a history they’ve always helped shape. \n\nFrom pioneering figures such as Sister Rosetta Tharpe\, Little Richard\, Jimi Hendrix\, Tina Turner\, Betty Davis\, Poly Styrene and Bad Brains to today’s trailblazing musicians\, Stephanie Phillips reveals the profound influence of Black creativity on alternative music across nearly a century.\n\n\n\nExploring why Black artists have continued to embrace alternative music despite being marginalised by the mainstream industry\, Phillips makes a compelling case that there is no alternative music without Black innovation. Looking ahead\, she celebrates a new generation of Gen Z musicians redefining the possibilities of punk\, metal\, hardcore and indie\, and shaping the future of the genre.

SUMMARY:Dysmas Orbis — Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join published and exhibited London artist and author Robert John for the launch of Dysmas Orbis\, a speculative urban fantasy set within a hidden parallel London. \nRobert John has spent years creating a surreal visual version of London through his photographic and digital art practice. His work has been exhibited and published\, including LDN Reimagined\, a traditionally published art book with Unicorn Publishing Group. Dysmas Orbis is the literary continuation of that visual world — taking the surreal London he created through images and developing it into a five-book speculative fiction series. \nThe novel explores identity\, belonging\, relationships\, displacement and what it means to be seen\, drawing on Robert’s own experiences of growing up in South London and his father’s battle with Parkinson’s disease and dementia. \nExpect a London that is recognisable but not quite right — spider trees\, flower lamps\, giant machines\, secret societies and a hidden world existing alongside our own. \nThe launch will include a Q & A\, reading from the novel and a look behind the creation of the book and its visual world. Guests will receive a complimentary drink on arrival and a free special edition A5 art print with every signed first edition of Dysmas Orbis purchased on the night. \nEarly praise for Dysmas Orbis\n\n“His London is animate\, alarming\, astonishing.”— Iain Sinclair \n\n\n“Gripping and assured… Richly and beautifully written\, Dysmas Orbis is a tender story that will keep you turning the pages and stay with you long after the last page.”— Ivy Ngeow\, award-winning author \n\n\n“A brooding tale of fissured reality where freedom is swallowed whole.”— Sudhana Singh\, award-winning memoirist & journalist \n\n\n“Prepare to step into a gritty and mythical version of London\, with secret societies and spider trees. Robert John has created an alternate London that feels both familiar and fantastical.”— Tabish Khan\, art critic for Londonist

SUMMARY:Children of Empire
DESCRIPTION:A white father and his mixed-race daughter drive through their town one night in his cleaning van\, taking down English flags.

At the Rosemary Branch Theatre\, it makes its full-length debut. \n  \nThis play is a part of the Camden Fridge Festival. \nFor further details\, click HERE

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:Seven Dials walk: the 1920s and 1930s\, and the making of modern London
DESCRIPTION:Join historian Matt Houlbrook on a journey into a remarkable neighbourhood and the battle to define modern London. \nThroughout the 1920s and 1930s\, Seven Dials was one of London’s most diverse neighbourhoods\, home to migrant and working-class communities\, bohemian clubs and cafes. But business leaders and city planners had other ideas. \nBeginning with a rancorous libel trial of 1927\, in which a Sierra Leonean café owner and his wife confronted the racist newspaper that destroyed their business\, Matt’s tour of Seven Dials reveals the surprising history of this remarkable neighbourhood. He traces how tensions that simmered on the streets and finally exploded in court betrayed the politics of urban ‘improvement’ and the ‘colour bar’. Underlying the trial was a series of troubling questions that would define Britain in the twentieth century – about race\, class and the boundaries of belonging\, gentrification and the kind of city London would become. \nThe tour includes the site of long-forgotten cafes and queer nightclubs\, the tenements\, shops\, and workshops where the people of Seven Dials lived\, worked\, and played\, and modernist office blocks that were never built\, as well as St Giles Buildings (1925\, C Westcott Reeves and Alfred Rason) and the Cambridge Theatre (1930\, Wimperis\, Simpson\, and Guthrie). \nMatt Houlbrook is a writer\, historian\, and Professor of Cultural History at the University of Birmingham. He is the author of Songs of Seven Dials: An intimate history of 1920s and 1930s London (2026)\, Prince of Tricksters: The incredible true story of Netley Lucas\, gentleman crook (2016)\, and Queer London: Perils and pleasures in the sexual metropolis\, 1918-57 (2005). \nThe walking tour will last about 2 hours and will go ahead in any weather. \nNon-members: £25\nC20 Members: £20\nStudents: £15.00\nYoung C20: £12.50

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Simon Reynolds - Still In A Dream with Rudy Tambala
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Long Play Sessions for an immersive and intellectually charged evening with acclaimed music critic and cultural historian Simon Reynolds\, as he discusses ‘Still in a Dream: Shoegaze\, Slackers and the Reinvention of Rock\, 1984–1994′. \nIn Still in a Dream\, Reynolds picks up where Rip It Up and Start Again left off\, tracing the underground explosion that followed post‑punk: the rise of shoegaze\, noisepop\, slacker rock and grunge. Drawing on his first-hand experience as a journalist embedded in the scene\, Reynolds captures a moment when guitar music turned inward and expansive at once — when distortion\, volume and texture became vehicles for emotion\, alienation and altered states. \nFrom the shimmering dreamworlds of Cocteau Twins and Slowdive\, to the visceral noise of Sonic Youth\, My Bloody Valentine\, Dinosaur Jr. and Pavement\, Reynolds explores how this music reflected the psychic climate of the time: youth disaffection\, political conservatism\, and the last flourish of analogue culture before the internet remade everything. Both a personal memoir and a cultural analysis\, the book is as much about how music felt as about how it sounded. \nFar more than a scene-by-scene history\, Still in a Dream examines why this era continues to echo through contemporary music\, fashion and attitudes — and how its ethos of experimentation\, withdrawal\, intensity and beauty reshaped the possibilities of rock music for decades to come. \nWhat to Expect \n\nA talk from Simon Reynolds exploring the ideas\, emotions and cultural forces behind the book\nDeep discussion of shoegaze\, underground guitar music and alternative culture from 1984–1994\nInsight into Simon’s writing process\, music journalism career and experiences documenting the era as it unfolded\nReflections on youth\, alienation\, escapism\, politics and the changing role of music media\nAudience Q&A\, offering the chance to engage directly with Reynolds on music history\, criticism and legacy\nBook signing — bring your copy or purchase one on the evening\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for a rich\, reflective and exhilarating exploration of this defining period of modern music history. \nAbout The Long Play Sessions \nThis event is part of The Long Play Sessions\, ICMP’s curated series spotlighting transformative writers\, artists and cultural voices who shape the way we understand music\, identity and creative expression. Each session opens a window into the stories behind the art — blending conversation\, cultural history and lived experience.

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Zakia Sewell – Finding Albion – Myth\, Folklore and the Quest for a Hidden Britain
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday 5th June at 7:00 pm at ICMP’s Queen’s Park venue for a special in‑conversation event with award‑winning writer\, DJ and broadcaster Zakia Sewell\, as she discusses her brand‑new book: \nFINDING ALBION – Myth\, Folklore and the Quest for a Hidden Britain \nIn this intimate interview\, Zakia will discuss her quest for ‘another Britain’. How she traversed the length and breadth of our island from Somerset to Scotland\, seeking out a different story – one that lies beyond divisive national myths and symbols. \nIn Finding Albion\, Zakia uncovers an alternative spirit of Britain that is vividly alive today. It is found in otherworldly folk songs\, ancient legends\, Celtic seasonal rites and mystic stone circles that punctuate our landscape. Her journey begins as the sun rises on the spring equinox over Glastonbury Tor\, where she meets neopagans reclaiming traditions from our pre-Christian past. At summer’s peak at Notting Hill Carnival\, she hears cultural echoes that passed along the slave trade routes from the Caribbean. On All Hallows’ Eve\, she encounters the ghosts of Empire that are still haunting the nation\, and in the depths of a Cornish winter\, she asks if today’s new folk revival could unite our increasingly divided country? \nFinding Albion brings a hopeful story of Britain out from the shadows\, giving us a deeper sense of who we are and heralding the promise of a brighter future. \nTickets available here – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-long-play-sessions-zakia-sewell-finding-albion-tickets-1988473699363?aff=oddtdtcreator \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nZakia Sewell is a writer\, DJ and broadcaster based in London.
