Music – A London Journal

Resto 18 Ognisko, South Kensington

Cricket, art, cocktails and music in a pretty much perfect evening out in South Kensington. Oh, and excellent food.

Resto 28 Coda, Royal Albert Hall

The previous Prom I'd seen this summer was the Death Prom where we Londoners were assured that should we attempt to take a trip to a concert we would either be fried by the merciless rays of our nearest star or asphyxiated by the ferocious heat of our subterranean network.

Music in London (yay!)

Mules and Stott. 24 hours in the capital's live music scene.

Resto 1 Balconies Restaurant, Covent Garden

Indifference versus the cockmonster. Oh, and lots of wine.

Music at the Wallace – CMF summer residency

A brief review of an excellent concert at the Wallace Collection by the City Music Foundation. There's a link to their website, where you can find out about the rest of this week's program.

Rembrandt at the BM

World class Rembrandt and a really intriguing collection of artists' postcards.

Tomasz Lis

A short post on Thomas Lis' outstanding performance of #Chopin at Westminster Cathedral Hall. One of the best performances I've seen so far this year. This in contrast to Matt Helders' woeful turn at King Tut's.

A short ramble round Leicester

Coming to a brief spell of teaching at De Montfort I thought it might be of use to the casual cultured visitor to point out some of the less well-known elements of Leicester that are worthy of consideration.
