KEME blends experimental jazz with high-energy hand percussion, creating an explosive and immersive live sound. Founded in 2025 by Mercedes Maresca (keys, flute, bongos, vocals) and Kevin Peberdy (drums, congas) as the core members, the band thrives on improvisation, rhythmic intensity, and spontaneous collaboration. KEME often performs with guest musicians, allowing each performance to evolve into something unique. For this  third edition at The Hill Station Café, they will be joined  by Sheraws (vocals, spoken word), Benson Adolwa (saxophone/congas), and John Horabin (Synth) promising a night of adventurous sound and collective energy.   

This workshop is an experiment in world building through speculative writing, annotation and mapping.

Join us for an intimate participatory workshop to collectively imagine a future which prioritises social equality and looks beyond capitalist systems. We will be starting with existing spaces that have personal meaning and feel hopeful or promising in some way. With a few writing prompts to generate ideas, we will create a collective visual map of these spaces and have an open discussion around what a world could look like where these intersectional infrastructures are more dominant and valued.

There is no need to have any prior experience in drawing, writing or academic theory, every perspective is welcomed and is open to all ages and abilities.

Presented by: Hannah Burrough: A multipliscinary artist with an MArch in sustainable architecture and a background in art fabrication. Her interests are in alternative systems, places, art and ecology.

This workshop is in collaboration with Leela Keshav who founded the Archive of Prefiguration, a web-based platform which documents spaces that enact socially and ecologically just futures within the present. Produced by Leela Keshav with the AA Communications Studio, the platform invites contributors to explore speculative fiction – alongside maps, interviews and sound recordings – as a time-travelling medium, projecting prefigurative spaces into possible futures.

One person’s leftovers, another person’s masterpiece!

In June, COLLAGE CORNER is embracing the unexpected.

Scrapbox Challenge invites you to create using mostly fragments cut out by other people — abandoned scraps, half-used pages, mysterious clippings, strange combinations waiting to happen.

Think of it as a collaboration across time and space: building something new with traces of unknown participants, following unexpected prompts, and letting go of your usual instincts.

The result might be weird, playful, surprising, beautiful, or completely unlike your usual work.

Come ready to experiment, relinquish a little control, and see what emerges from the pile!

Come and join us at the Hill Station Cafe on Wednesday 24th June for a night of cooking, eating and merriment!

We (Henry and Louis) met at Brutto in Farringdon in 2024 where we worked together as sous chefs for two years, now having moved on to Osteria Vibrato and the Garden Cafe respectively. We'll be cooking a four course menu inspired by our combined decade in London's restaurants.

+++ MENU BELOW +++

Guests will also receive a cocktail or soft drink upon arrival!

The bar will be provided by The Hill Station Cafe.

Ts & Cs

- We will open the doors at 6.30pm and all guests must arrive by 7pm. As we will be serving each course to all guests simultaneously, in the case of extreme lateness we cannot guarantee you will be seated!

- All guests must leave the premises by 10.30pm.

- There will be a vegetarian option, but sadly we cannot cater for vegans. Please let us know of any dietary requirements beforehand when booking your ticket. Thank you!

 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.
