Wednesday Picture: Top 5 Banksy locations in and around K-Town

By on April 24, 2013 in Art, Wednesday Picture

The hoo-ha [...]

Review: NoFit State Circus presents BIANCO, Roundhouse

By on April 12, 2013 in Music, Theatre

A blonde woman in shades, hat and a bright red dress teeters along a tightrope, back and forth, tentatively. An audience holds its breath. We’re right up against her. Gradually she disrobes, frock flung to the floor, heels kicked off, wig chucked. Now she’s barefoot, in something like a petticoat, gliding, soaring, as the accompanying [...]

Community Pinboard: Hit Camden Beach – and Lots More Free Festivals

By on July 12, 2012 in Books, Drink, Food, Music, Pinboard

1. Take To The Beach We’re super-excited about this. The Roundhouse, your favourite arts venue, are giving their vast terrace a makeover for whatever we have left of this dismal summer. And they’re calling it Camden Beach: think 150 tonnes of sand, deckchairs, margarita shack, boules, boozy ice lollies and a BBQ. If it rains? [...]

The Big Review: Wasted, Roundhouse

By on May 15, 2012 in Big Review, Theatre

I’ve been following poet and rapper Kate Tempest since first catching her a few years ago at NW5 writer Salena Godden’s legendary Book Club Boutique nights, where she’d silence the boozy room with a winning combination of words and humility.

Oh and one more thing: Best Live Music venue

By on December 24, 2011 in Awards, Music

Roundhouse or Wheelbarrow? The Forum or Heroes? Proud Galleries or Blues Kitchen? Black Heart or Koko? Bull & Gate or Lock Tavern? Downstairs at The Torriano or upstairs at The Oxford? What about Barfly? God knows why this category slipped through the net. We blame the dog; or maybe the mulled cider. Still, our corner [...]
