This July we once again join forces with our friends at the Hebridean Lost Map label to present our summer showcase of songwriters and storytellers in word and sound. We plan to transport a trio of solo artists from across the length of the country to Leytonstone with voice, cello, sythesiser, guitar and digital processing collaged together to create something magical in the ever-welcoming space of St John’s.
This event today is part of Leytonstone Festival and Leytonstone Arts Trail and we are inviting artists and audiences to leave their mark on the afternoon. Everyone who comes into the space will be invited to join in various activities: drawing or making alongside contemplating the music.
There are yet two more layers to our afternoon of creativity: a rare chance to experience live drawing to music from Andrew Rae and Nick White. These artists and illustrators are members of the Lost Map’s ensemble Owen & The Eyeballs. And if that wasn’t enough, setting the mood and filling the space as we relax into our seats will be multi-instrumentalist Terry Edwards.
Arctic Circle’s Daylight Music has, for nearly seventeen years, become an important part of London’s live music scene, with a weird and wonderful mix of musicians presenting ideas and storytelling in music and sound, alongside delicious cake, in some of the most splendid and iconic venues.
Further event details: Cafe open. An event for all ages. Pay-What-You-Can entry in advance or on the door (£12 per adult suggestion, children free), subject to availability/capacity.
