Our 1917 centenary show at Rich Mix ‘Art out of Revolution’ is on Saturday 21st October, we've put a lot of thought into it and come up with something truly special. And there's a special tickets deal too, 5 for the price of 4, or 10 for price of 7 for LSHG, friends and SWP comrades to take up. Hope so!
The evening is
presented by self-styled ‘sporting outfitters of intellectual
distinction’ aka Philosophy Football. In association with the trade
union RMT supported by Brigadista Ale and RnR magazine
We open and close
with Liz Wheatley’s 'Funk the Revolution’ vinyl only DJ set. Liz is
plays jazz funk, soul and rare grooves with a weekly show on Urban Jazz
radio. And then we premier a film version Tim Sanders’ graphic novel of
the Russian Revolution 1917: Russia’s Red Year with voiceover by Michael Rosen
We’ve commissioned music on the theme of
‘revolution’ by Calum Baird a singer-songwriter based in Edinburgh,
Calum’s 2017 shows have included the Rivas-Vaciamadrid festival
commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Battle of
Jarama and Berlin’s Festival Musik und Politik. And poetry too from
Barbican Young Poet Eleanor Penny.
On ’the revolution is dead, long live the Revolution!’ we have Richard Seymour author of Corbyn : The Strange Rebirth of Radical Politics. And on the art of revolution Owen Hatherley author of Landscapes of Communism : A History Through Buildings with
Eldina Begic who founded the fashion label Comradettes and is currently

editor of Revolution! Writing from Russia 1917 and Hugh Tisdale, a graphic artist and co-founder of Philosophy Football
Opening the second half Des Kapital : Neve Mind the Cossacks featuring
the music of Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Robbie Williams and more to

comedy hits at this year's Edinburgh and Brighton festivals fringes.
Rosy Carrick has recently completed editing a brand new publication of
Mayakovsky’s epic poem Vladimir Ilyich Lenin will be performing an entirely original interpretation of the poem accompanied by film and music. And to headline, the Trans-Siberian March Band, Balkan brass party-starters who provide a flamboyantly colourful mix of high octane live performances and musical miscellany combining up tempo Russian drinking songs, Klezmer, Turkish and Gypsy tunes with a hint of Latin and hiphop for good tuneful measure. For one night only, a special Shostakovich inspired TSMB set!
A 1917 centenary night out like no other, we hope you’ll
agree and want to bring a party to. The 5 for price of 4, 10 for the
