Our next events

A performance by Sore Throat

Time: 7pm - 7.30pm
Date: Tuesday 25 April
Venue: The Elmwood Space, 8-9 Carlisle Street, London W1D 3BP
Nearest tube: Tottenham Court Road

Sore Throat is the brainchild (and problem child) of DJ/producer Will Flisk and writer Mike Benson.
Blending blissful beats with broken spoken vocal, they have been recording, broadcasting and performing stories, poems and songs in the UK and beyond for the past five years.

Will Flisk has entertained weekend clubbers around East London with his frighteningly popular Moulin-X night and has produced a series of tracks for the critically acclaimed Comfort Zone compilations. In between gigs, Mike works as a copywriter, lyricist and storyteller for a variety of exciting bands, brands and agencies.

Sore Throat will be performing a tasty array of spoken word material, including a couple of brand stories, in an attempt to bridge the divide between entertainment and commerce.

This is the first ever live music 26 event, stand-up rather than sitting down, with a few chairs available for softies. We hope to have a drinks sponsor in place. Bring all your chums. Free for 26 members, £10 for guests. Thanks to Elmwood for letting us into their lovely home.


Branding brains of Britain

Looking further ahead, we’re lining up a brand quiz hosted by design agency 35 (so we're thinking of calling it 61). Volunteers are needed for the 26 team. So if you know your Maltesers from your Mercedes, please email sarah@littlemax.co.uk to claim your place. The nice people at 35 are inviting us to their lovely home in Camden, so those of you who get a bit uncomfortable when you stray out of W1 should prepare yourselves in advance for the cultural scene change. We'll be holding this on 23 or 25 May – we’ll let you know as soon as we do – so please block out both nights in red pen.
