Not a good date for you? Here is the full schedule of tours. [https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/andrew-humphrey] From about 1870 to 1960 Londons original Chinatown was in Limehouse by the docks in the East End. Many original buildings and some whole streets are now gone, but we can still trace the sites of the Chinese homes and businesses of Pennyfields and Limehouse Causeway, we can see the seamen's missions where Chinese sailors first stayed when they arrived in London, and explore some of the side streets where people lived, worked and played. This tour digs deep and shows you the remaining physical traces of the Limehouse Chinese community, and brings the community to life with the stories of people who lived and worked there. We will retrace the footsteps of some real and fictional heroes, villains and regular folks of Limehouse Chinatown, and we will get to know the generation of mixed British-Chinese children who were born and raised here and whose descendants can trace their origins back to these few streets. Limehouse and its residents were regularly portrayed in contemporary novels, songs and films. Interrogating these very varied depictions, some of them problematic and some downright racist, can help us understand the communitys resilience and its place in British Chinese life and in popular culture. In recent years a new generation of local creatives is exploring the legacy of Limehouse Chinatown in their own work. The tour will last approximately 3 hours, walking at a leisurely pace, and including a short break half-way. After the tour there will be an optional family-style meal at a local Chinese restaurant where you can share your reflections of our time in Limehouse. I will email you after you have booked to check whether you would like to join us for lunch. The 15 ticket price includes a 2 donation to Care for St Anne's [https://www.careforstannes.org/].Ticketsource adds a 1.26 booking fee.

Fragments is a visceral, genre-defying theatrical experience that fractures time, language, and identity. Welcome to a liminal world where grief lingers, power corrodes, and love refuses to disappear. Fragments is an anthology of three interwoven worlds, performed by three actors, bound by a single question: what makes us human when everything else falls away? From a future where connection is almost extinct (With You), to a collapsing city haunted by loyalty and moral paralysis (Demons), to a nightmarish descent into obsession and power (Macbeth), Fragments is a triptych of psychological rupture. Enter into a charged space between repression and rebellion, beauty and brutality.

Haylie Davis belongs to an intriguing LA scene that boasts several acts harking back to the halcyon days of Laurel Canyon songwriting - including Alex Amen, Drugdealer, Sylvie and Sam Burton, many of whose projects she has appeared on. From origins of psychedelic folk pop and 70s cosmic Americana, Haylie’s sound is an infectious alternative take on modern pop music, with plenty of hooks and a huge chorus; she is the Carly Simon for post-Generation Z. Her euphoric range sits somewhere between Joan Baez, Carole King and Emmylou Harris. “Gently hued Laurel Canyon folk-pop songs” Rolling Stone Presented by Broadside Hacks. This is an 18+ event
