This year my top...

Behind the bikeshed

I have photographed Behind the Bikeshed quite a few times now – mainly because I love their work!
Last week I got to go to one of their summer festival performances – it was just like being back in Edinburgh!!
It’s difficult to describe Behind the Bikeshed – they are more than a theatre group, more than...

Music and the City is a regular event in London that brings together musicians and music-lovers to socialise, network, and play chamber music together. The evening starts with a short recital by professional musicians, followed by a rehearsal...
