SEEN is looking forward very much to seeing the intriguing Oscar Jerome tonight at Ghost Notes. The South London i-D-tipped songwriter has now released the ‘Where Are Your Branches?’ EP. This new five-track collection follows the release of Oscar’s 2016 self-titled debut EP, which drew praise from the likes of Radio 1, Boiler Room, 1Xtra …
Yes, the sun is here with a capital ‘S’ so time to titivate the toes and get the unaccustomed warmth currently bathing the capital on your feet. If you want a good day-to-night option, SEEN recommends Salt-Water Sandals. Available in a range of fabulous colours, we particularly like these rose-gold-coloured ones. You can walk for …
What a fabulous variety of choices for vegans at Camden Market: pie and mash, a deli and now a 100% Vegan Diner in the market’s North Yard. Keeping to an American fast-food menu with a unique vegan twist, Rudy’s Dirty Vegan Diner will serve you The Dirty Burger (served in vegan brioche), Mac‘n’cheeze, or a …
You always know when you’ve seen some excellent theatre – you keep thinking about it on the way home and the next day, and the day after that… SEEN certainly feels that way about ‘Secret Life of Humans’ currently on at the New Diorama Theatre. I am old enough to have seen the play’s subject …
SEEN fave Kate Simko’s original music score for ’20 Weeks’ has been released digitally on all major platforms as the film had its theatrical debut in the US on 13th April. Spanning 15 tracks, the exquisitely crafted ambient/classical album captures Kate Simko’s distinctive sound, combining the intricacies and textures of string orchestration with dreamy electronic …
It gladdens SEEN’s vintage-loving heart to think of all the sustainable fashion shopping going on in the capital at the moment. This Sunday 22nd April one of the best vintage fairs around will be celebrating its 9th birthday, proving that vintage clothes are not just the latest trend: the demand for fabulous clothes from decades …
Canadian band PORT CITIES are still bathing in the afterglow of November’s Nova Scotia Music Week, where they scooped no less than five awards, including album of the year, digital artist of the year and entertainer of the year. SEEN has certainly been enjoying their beautiful vocals. In light of such accolades then, its only …
SEEN can safely say that there is nowhere quite like Dorothy Circus Gallery in Notting Hill. It is the very antithesis of the white, clinical art gallery that abounds in the capital. From the beautiful yet disquieting pop surrealist art that is the passion of gallery director Alexandra Mazzanti, to the welcoming gallery itself complete …
On the weekend of the 19th-21st April, London party purveyors, Shuttlecock Inc will be distilling everything you loved about MTV Spring Break in the late 90s and letting it loose on an immersive adult playground version of JM Barrie’s Neverland; an excellent example of what London does best at the moment (in SEEN’s humble opinion) …
SEEN has always been fascinated by typefaces, so was very interested to hear that the Centre National des Arts Plastiques (Cnap), a public establishment of the French Ministry of Culture, in partnership with the Groupe Imprimerie Nationale, has commissioned the creation of a type family. Alice Savoie was chosen by a panel of experts following …
Well, if this isn’t the sound of the summer, SEEN doesn’t know what is – PREP have aired the new video for ‘Don’t Bring Me Down’, the first single to arrive from their forthcoming EP ‘Cold Fire’, due out in April 2018. Directed by Tuixen Benet (also behind the choreography for Tame Impala’s ‘The Less …
Londoners will know how enthusiastically the city enjoys St. Patrick’s Day. For a different and very luxurious experience of this auspicious day, you might want to try a trip to one of (Irishman born and bred), Richard Corrigan’s restaurants, particularly Corrigan’s Mayfair who will be hosting a full-day celebration for St. Patrick’s Day with Irish …
Regular readers of SEEN will know that we just love the charitable initiatives set up by Art on a Postcard. They bring art lovers (and it must be said, auction-lovers) together for the support of the Hepatitis C Trust, which is dedicated to raising awareness, ending discrimination and being a hub for information and representation …
SEEN is fascinated by the discomfiting yet necessary vision of Jenny Wilson who has released a new single LO’ HI’, the latest track to emerge from her forthcoming album ‘EXORCISM’, due for UK release on April 20, 2018 via Gold Medal Recordings. Having previously collaborated with contemporaries including Robyn and The Knife (to whose Rabid …
The Isokon building in Hampstead has been home to many creative people: Agatha Christie, Nicholas Monsarrat, Adrian Stokes and, of course, leading lights in the Bauhaus movement, three of whom, Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius and László Moholy-Nagy are to be honoured with a Blue Plaque, courtesy of English heritage. There is no better time to …
Never mind the snow, SEEN doesn’t let severe weather warnings come between her and the discovery of a new dining concept. Thus it was that I minced carefully down to the old-school London environs of St James, yet another of those areas in the capital that shows us another side of the city. St James …
SEEN has always admired Aquavit, from the unique Nordic cuisine to the art on the walls, it’s a lovely place to dine. On March 13th some lucky Londoners will be partaking of a Michelin-starred feast courtesy of Aquavit’s executive chef Henrik Ritzén and Magnus Ek, head chef of Stockholm’s Oaxen Krog. A taste of Sweden …
