The 2025/26 Schedule
September 2025
The Rolling Stones & 1967
Monday 29th September
1967 is a fulcrum year in the history of rock and pop. It’s also the year that the Stones almost came undone. We’ll trace how pop became art and how just another showbiz soap opera became The Greatest Rock’n’Roll Band In the World.

Tunes At An Exhibition: Music in the Museums of London
Monday 27th October

November 2025
Myths and Legends: The Business of Not Letting The Truth Get In The Way Of A Good Story
Monday 24th November
King Henry VIII wrote Greensleeves… Tchaikovsky was murdered because he was gay… Paul McCartney is dead and always has been… Judy Garland was born in a trunk in the Princes Theatre in Pochatela, Idaho… Listening to Mozart, the composer who was definitely murdered by Salieri, in the womb will make you a genius in later life.
The blurred lines between mythology and truth in the history of music.
