 South east London mainstay Joseph Futak teams up with New York based indie folk artist Pearla for an exciting evening of new music ahead of the release of her new album 'Song Room'.

Pearla's music touches on the bridge between what is real and surreal. Her first album 'Oh Glistening Onion, The Nighttime Is Coming' is a refreshing exploration of both the mysteries of the external universe and our place in it, whereas her new record 'Song Room' turns inward - reflecting on love and the bridges we share between people, and their ability to collapse and stretch time. While this new collection of songs marks a more introspective turn, they are undeniably of the same magical idiosyncratic DNA that runs through all of Pearla's songwriting.

Her music has been heralded on Pitchfork, NPR, Brooklyn Vegan and others, this is gig marks her London debut.

Joseph Futak is a London based producer and artist, who's music quietly bridges the space between reflection, nostalgia, grief and the other spectres of human experience. His album 'Walking The Sea Wall' has a bleary eyed softness to it that recalls the moments between wake and sleep, past and present. While producing for many of London's most exciting acts, Joseph is slowly working towards the follow up record - a collection of songs that push further the corners of what was explored on 'Walking The Sea Wall', and will be debuting new material as part of this gig.

They will be joined by Lilo, one of London's most striking folk duos. The songs of Helen Dixon and Christie Gardner contain a captivating intimacy that can only come from their 15 year friendship. Their eye on the world both external and internal has a timeless sensitivity that is unique to them. Their debut album ‘Blood Ties’ was released last year to critical aclaim.

An Evening of Experimental Drawing

Feeling stuck in your creative practice and in need of a shake up? Is your perfectionism clipping your creative wings? Or would you like to give drawing a go but feel intimidated by the idea of a “good drawing”? Come along to an evening of experimental drawing where the focus truly is on the journey rather than the destination. You might well leave here feeling refreshed and inspired.

Every session we’ll be focusing on a different approach to drawing, which is designed to invite us to question traditional ideas of what makes a "good drawing", as well as hopefully reveal that there are many different ways to look at the subject. But more importantly each experiment will encourage us to take ourselves less seriously and to have fun drawing alongside likeminded people.

About the artist:

Daniela Terrazzini is a local professional illustrator, who’s illustrated many books for children including Where Snow Angels Go, The Boy Who Lost his Spark, longlisted for a Yoto Carnegie Medal for Illustration, and When the Stammer Came to Stay - all written by award winning author Maggie O’Farrell - as well as The Night I Met Father Christmas by Ben Miller. Daniela studied Fine Art Painting in Milan and moved to London in 1999 to study photography at the London College of Printing. She currently runs drawing sessions at a local school and can be regularly spotted in Telegraph Hill walking her mildly obsessive dog, Moka, while chatting away about her own latest obsessions. Her fringe is often too short… you can’t miss her.

 Create & Date isn’t your usual speed-dating night. It was started by Sadie - a fellow singleton who got fed up with dating apps, awkward small talk, and the general loneliness that often comes with modern dating. This is a relaxed, creative space where you can meet like-minded people over hands-on activities, music, and a drink or two. Whether you’re looking for a spark or just a fun night out, it’s a great way to connect without the pressure. Each event has a new theme, with playful icebreakers and good tunes to help conversations flow.

 It’s open to people in their mid 20s to early 40s of all genders and sexual orientations. Come on your own or bring a mate. Doors open at 7PM, with a short intro at around 7.15pm before the activities begin. We’ll have a quick break around 8, and while the event officially wraps up at 9.30pm, you’re more than welcome to stay for a chat afterwards.
