Thinking and Drinking at The Book Club
Thinking and Drinking is an eclectic ongoing programme of lively, creative events and social activities in art, music, film, fashion, philosophy, design, science, and perhaps the odd spot of DIY and home economics.
The line-up includes special screenings and cross platform showcasing new creative talent through to informal evening classes and talks by a host of eclectic and interesting thinkers.
For example, Stellar Summer Shorts ( and one heck of a party! ) on this Wednesday 4th August shows 'The Retirement Village' by film maker Samual Burr and 'The Conformers' by Bryony Tinn and Tom Disbury will be followed by some top DJ-ing so you can mingle the night away, with some tunes and some drink, you never know who you might meet?
What to wear: Keep it casual. It's all about what's on the inside.
Go with: A random friend you’ve been meaning to catch up with.
Who’ll be there: Your potential soulmate...amidst plenty of other movers and shakers.

Miles Davis Kind Of Blue
Gabriele Faja’s Miles Davis Project Band returns to St James’s Piccadilly after selling out their debut concert in 2007.
The legendary album by Miles Davis – Kind of Blue – is not only the biggest selling Jazz album to date but also widely regarded as one of the most influential recordings off all time, of any genre. The famous session took place in New York in 1959 for Columbia Records and featured giants Julian ‘Cannonball’ Adderley, John Coltrane, Paul Chambers, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Jimmy Cobb as well as Miles Davis himself. It explored groundbreaking improvisation based on modality, which suited Miles’s long, sparsely notated phrasing, rather than Hard-Bop. All but one track were recorded in a one take.
The Miles Davis Project Band recreate the album almost to the note, with originally written intros and outros and fresh improvisation.
