Event: Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love at 40: A Birthday Celebration, Tues 16 Sept, 7pm, The Horse Hospital

Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love at 40: A Birthday Celebration Listening Party and in conversation with the author and musician Leah Kardos

Kate Bush’s groundbreaking album was released to immediate acclaim on 16 September 1985.

Hounds Of Love invites you to not only listen, but to cross the boundaries of sensory experience into realms of imagination and possibility. Poised and accessible, yet still experimental and complex, with Hounds Of Love Bush mastered the art of her studio-based songcraft, finally achieving full control of her creative process.

40 years to the day of its release join Leah Kardos, author of Kate Bush’s Hounds Of Love (33 1/3) in conversation with the historian of vinyl records and the album Travis Elborough in an evening of deep listening and lively Bush appreciation.

Additionally to all this, the Ukrainian artist Daria Hlazatova will be showing some of her Kate Bush-inspired art.

Event: Modern Building in Soho & Mayfair: In the Footsteps of Ian Nairn walk, Sun 17 August 2.30pm

The fearless architectural critic and broadcaster, Ian Nairn, briefly a familiar face on British television in the 1970s, succumbed to drink and despondency just ten days shy of his fifty-third birthday, dying on 14 August 1983.

But back in 1964 and at the height of his powers he authored, Modern Buildings in London, a brilliantly opinionated primer to the best of contemporary architecture in the capital that was issued by London Transport – and even sold from automatic vending machines in key London stations.

Join Travis Elborough, the award-winning author of the introduction to the latest edition of Modern Buildings in London, for this tour of some of the West End buildings that caught Nairn’s eye, including Denys Lasdun’s 26 St James’s Place and New Zealand House by Robert Matthew, Johnson Marshall & Partners (RMJM).
