New Years Eve Comedy Special at The Amersham Arms New Cross at Amersham Arms (The)	Added 3-Jan-2020	Rating:
This was a great evening of comedy at the Amersham Arms in New Cross. The organisers were very accommodating with free sweets and a great attitude. There were four diverse performers who were all very professional and sharp witted. Tony Law was on his surreal top form and read the audience very well. A great night.
Late at the Library: Delia Derbyshire Day at British Library Knowledge Centre	Added 2-Dec-2019	Rating:
This was a very interesting event to celebrate Delia's legacy in sonic and musical experimentation. The artists used her archive to respond with new audio and visual compositions all tied together with BBC DJ Nemone and DJ Busby (I think that was her name). A great venue, maybe not 100% suited for music, but impressive anyway. Staff were all nice and a great evening.
King Midas Sound at Purcell Room - Southbank Centre	Added 26-Oct-2019	Rating:
An atmospheric night with The BUG.. Great surroundings, intense sound, lots of dry ice and interesting lights.
The Uninhabitable Earth: Brian Eno In Conversation with David Wallace-Wells at Emmanuel Centre	Added 8-Oct-2019	Rating:
It was a pleasure to visit the Emmanuel Centre and hear this lively talk with the author David Wallace-Wells about his research and book The Uninhabitable Earth. The talk was hosted by Brian Eno who was well informed on the subject and kept the conversation rolling. A very interesting evening, with nice staff, good location and great speakers.
Macbeth the Musical at White Bear Theatre	Added 11-Sep-2019	Rating:
An energetic and entertaining show. The puppeteers were great and switched roles / voices effortesly. Great voices and a nice, intimate venue. Great stuff
The Haunted Moustache at Soho Theatre	Added 7-Sep-2019	Rating:
David Bramwell returns to Soho Theatre with his one man journey of discovery about a hundred year old heir loom and its psychic effect it has had on him. It is an incredible story with amazing accounts of the occult, black lodges, psychedelics and Brighton seances. Held together with intelligence and humour. The Soho theatre is an ideal home to Dr Bramwell and his stories and it was a packed house with attentive staff.
Chrysta Bell Concert at Powerhaus -formerly Dingwalls	Added 13-Apr-2019	Rating:
This was an interesting show at an intimate venue. Chrysta Bell had real stage presence accompanied by good lighting and tunes. It's still a bit of an irritation that people feel the need to video everything they see and someone actually brought their big wopping iPad to film her on in front of us; totally bonkers.. A very good evening anyway.
The Cult of Water at Soho Theatre	Added 29-Jan-2019	Rating:
The Cult of Water is a imaginative, illustrated, talk / lecture about David Bramwell's esoteric research into the topic. Directed by Daisy Campbell, of Cosmic Trigger fame, it attracted a diverse audience with minimal stage lighting / props. The auditorium was lit mainly by candles with a strong smell of incense and Dr Bramwell used video clips and sound to structure his thesis. Afterwards he was joined by Chris Roberts another expert in his field with particular interest in London's mythology. I really enjoyed this part of the show, which felt less staged and rehearsed, which was then followed by a lively Q & A.
Dialektikon at Park Theatre	Added 28-Dec-2018	Rating:
This is a lovely new theatre run by enthusiastic staff. It was a pleasure to see the building and the 90 seat, smaller, space.. I enjoyed the lighting and use of shadow & puppetry in this show; reminiscent of the south African artist William Kentridge. There was also a nice, mixed Audience.
Felicity Kendal introduces Some Like It Hot at BFI Southbank	Added 7-Nov-2018	Rating:
A new 4k scan of the Billy Wider' classic where you can see the expertise in every frame. The introduction by Felicity Kendal was very entertaining and some interesting points about the film were made.
The Greenaway Alphabet at Vue Piccadilly Cinema	Added 30-Sep-2018	Rating:
An interesting insight into the British film maker's home life and working practices; made by his Dutch wife and interviewed by their fifteen year old daughter Pip.
CLUB SWIZZLE at Roundhouse (The)	Added 13-Aug-2018	Rating:
A v. enjoyable evening. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely. Top artistes in their field; who looked liked they were enjoying the show as much as the audience
