All the standard elements of a Soul band plus orchestral instruments. Exploring the best Soul songs and the best arrangements - especially those featuring strings (violin, viola, cello), French horn, flute, brass, woodwinds, percussion, background vocals.
Let's have fun learning and playing a bunch of great tunes from the Soul / R&B back catalogue. There will be well-known standards and lesser-known or even obscure gems chosen from anywhere in the entire history of R&B.
This is for: lead vocals, backing vocals, guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, trumpet, trombone, French horn, flute, baritone sax, tenor sax, alto sax, woodwinds, violin, viola, cello, percussion.

We'll learn some classic tunes by ear and play them. You do not need to be able to read music. Support is given in learning the parts (this may sometimes include written charts / tab).
The workshop will be led by Andy Dummett.
Andy has been privileged to play with a number of Soul legends including Stax, Atlantic and Motown recording artists - Eddie Floyd, Solomon Burke, Ben E King, Percy Sledge, Edwin Starr, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, the Memphis Horns, Steve Cropper, Teenie Hodges, Sam Moore (Sam & Dave), Leon Ware, Dorothy Moore.

Strategic Thinking Lab for Emerging Leaders - Make real decisions.
If you’ve recently stepped into leadership, you’re probably facing decisions that feel heavier than expected.
Not because they’re complicated.
Because they involve trade-offs.
You might be circling:
* A hire you’re unsure about
* A pricing change with ripple effects
* A pivot that feels risky
* A messy internal process
* A trade-off with no clean answer
This is a small, facilitated working session (max 3 participants).
We take real decisions and think them through properly.
Not networking.
Not theory.
Not pitching.
Structured thinking.
### Format
• 3 participants
• Each brings one real decision
• We clarify the actual problem
• Separate facts from assumptions
• Map options and consequences
• Identify trade-offs
• Define the next move
Soul Choir and Band
We're back - after a summer break - and we want more voices and more instruments for our workshops and for our next public performance (optional, no pressure - but I know you'll love it).
Ideal entry for singers new to our workshops.
Classic Soul songs in full vocal arrangements with live band.
Let's bring the backgrounds to the foreground (where they belong) and put them on an equal footing with the lead vocals.
Visit the "Thursday" page of our new spreadsheet to see vacancies, current members, current repertoire, and to make and see suggestions for new repertoire:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zb1cMKrOMDvxacsw9AoRRstkx-M7r_NIrF4tZJIREU0/edit?usp=sharing
This is for you if you are:
• a backing vocalist
• a lead vocalist
• a backing vocalist who wants to develop their lead vocal skills
• a lead vocalist who wants to develop their backing vocal skills
• a singer who wants to develop their percussion skills
• a musician who wants to accompany singers and support them
• a musician who wants to develop their own vocal skills
• a guitarist, keyboard player, bass player, drummer, horn player, string player, percussionist
Use your existing skills and develop new ones.
The Soul repertoire offers an incredibly rich variety of vocal combinations. We will be able to choose songs to suit whatever combination of leads and backing vocals we get.
Have fun singing essential, but often neglected elements of the arrangements. Vocal backgrounds play an important role in Soul - using call-and-response; creating variety of texture; defining sections of the song; differentiating repeats of the same section; building excitement.
The workshop will be led by Andy Dummett.
Andy has been privileged to play with many of the great singers, songwriters and musicians from Stax, Atlantic, Motown and more
The way we use the studio has changed. This should be reassuring for those who are hesitant or cautious. Husky is a very Covid-secure venue and it’s important that all our members are protected, especially the most vulnerable. I would not be starting up again if I wasn’t confident in their procedures.
Full details are available on the studio’s website:
https://www.huskystudios.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Husky-Studios-Coronavirus-COVID-19-customer-guide.pdf
Please read it all. It’s too long for me to copy it all here, but I’d like to draw your attention to some of the main points.
· Wear a mask when you come in
· Use the hand sanitiser at the entrance
· Bring your own hand sanitiser for use in the room
· Bring spare masks if you need them (they are available from the office – but for £5 each!)
· Let me know you’re coming. If I’m expecting you, let me know if you’re not coming.
· Let me have your phone number AND postcode for NHS Test & Trace
· Microphones will be available and will have been disinfected. There is a deposit of £5 per mic, refunded on return
· Microphone cables are not available. If you need to use a mic, please bring your own cable
These workshops can support what you do in your own bands and in band workshops run by the Institute of Rhythm & Blues (http://www.meetup.com/London-Institute-of-Rhythm-Blues-Meetup/)

Introduction to Urban Sketching: Beginners Welcome
**What is this?**
Hi there! I am launching sessions to introduce architectural drawing in London; something that I found surprisingly rare.
I understand how challenging it can be to master perspective, colour, and contrast, or to translate complex visual ideas into clear drawings, and I would love helping you navigate that process.
This is more than simply a group of people sitting together sketching; I will guide and design the session to help you develop real drawing skills, monitor and give personal feedback.
So whether you are an architectural enthusiast, have a passion for fine art or simply want to add a new skillset in a fun and welcoming atmosphere, I will be happy to meet you!
**What to know!**
1. **Exact meeting point:** Shared with confirmed participants 48 hours before the session. The session will take place either in a nearby café or an open space depending on the number of participants.
2. The session runs with a **minimum of 3 participants**. If the minimum is not reached, participants will be offered a refund or a place in the next session.
3. Material provided. (but you are free to bring your own!)
4. **Tickets have to be booked in order to get the location!**
Link to tickets: [BOOK YOUR TICKET](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1985001835926?aff=oddtdtcreator)
5. Join the whatsapp Group for the event: [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LN2AOCzuh13G3ZQgeRrT3K?mode=hq1tsha)
**About Me**
My name is Nissam. I am an architect and illustrator in my free time. I hold an MA in Art and Visual Culture and also work as a drawing tutor. My drawings won two competitions in the UK for Earth Day 2023 and 2024, and were exhibited in King’s Cross and Angel.
Teaching is one of my greatest passions. I enjoy creating a welcoming and supportive space where people feel comfortable experimenting, making mistakes, and learning along the way. In art, mistakes are often part of the process. But once you master the fundamentals, drawing becomes more intentional; and that is when the real fun begins. Let me show you my world!
Pub Goers - Farmers Boy - Band: Crazy Dog
Hi Pub Goers!
Back to The Farmer's Boy for a Saturday afternoon band.
Note that! - It's Saturday afternoon & probably outside. Accurate RSVPs are particularly important for this one. So, be accurate and stick to what you say!
The band for this event is: The band is: [Crazy Dog](https://www.lemonrock.com/crazydog) (Rock Covers, 5 piece). We've seen them before - They are very good!
https://www.lemonrock.com/crazydog
Lemonrock says "From the Rolling Stones to Dire Straits, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Bon Jovi, ZZ Top to name but a few"
But I also know they do Gary Moore and several Pink Floyd songs too.
The Farmers Boy (http://www.farmersboy.info) is what I consider to be a 'no nonsense pub' with a surprisingly large range of drinks for a relatively small pub, serves proper cider. Also good wine, shorts, etc.
I'll be wearing an easily identifiable T-Shirt as per the photo section for this event
Map to Farmers Boy: https://tinyurl.com/j7hv43u
As always, any last RSVP changes means you owe me a pint :)
Any problems finding us phone/text me on 0789 975 56 19.

Sketchbook: South Bank
Let's sketch around The South Bank!
Meet outside the Laurence Olivier Statue on the South Bank, a thriving hub of cultural activity and performers big and small! Nearest Tube Stops: Waterloo/Temple/Embankment
Completely free of charge, no need to sign up, bring a friend! Feel free to drop in for the whole two hours or just short while if you'd prefer. Look for the tall ginger fella sketching away as the central meetup spot, but feel free to roam as far and wide as you like and sketch anything you damn well please!
Please bring your own sketchbooks and pens/pencils.
The plan will be to meet at 1pm, sketch for a couple of hours and meet back and chat at 3pm. There are plenty of places around to grab coffee or a bite to eat, hopefully the weather is good so we'll be able to sit outside but if not we could consider ducking into a cafe.

About Sketchbook London
Every week we will choose a location around the magnificent city of London and draw people, buildings, pigeons, bins, anything you want....
No payment, no pressure, no need to sign up, just show up and draw for a couple of hours. All levels, abilities and professions welcome, bring a friend!
Zero pressure to interact, network, impress in any way, this is just a way to get out and about and appreciate the joy of urban sketching and all the weird and wonderful creatures that inhabit this thriving metropolis.
I am a storyboard artist working in animation and I am happy to discuss sketching techniques or give feedback on any work but this is by no means an exclusive event for artists, all are welcome :)
Claude Code for Technical Writers: Beyond the Chat Interface
🤖 **Most AI writing tools keep you in a chat box. This talk is about what happens when you step outside it.**
Led by **[Max Clayton Clowes](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxclaytonclowes/)**, afractional product manager, we'll look at how technical writers — regardless of coding background — can use Claude Code to work in a docs-as-code environment, extend their documentation tooling, and build workflows that hold their own standards over time.
We'll cover:
\- Why Claude without proper context is a frustrating experience and how Skills fix that
\- How Claude Code enables technical writers to work with frameworks like Docusaurus without needing to be developers
\- Building and extending documentation tooling — plugins\, components\, GitHub Actions — that most teams don't have the time or skills to build from scratch
\- Using Claude Code to maintain docs at scale: auditing\, keeping content in sync with a changing codebase\, and automating the checks that keep quality consistent
The talk is aimed at technical writers of all levels. You don't need to be comfortable in a terminal to get value from it — we'll show a clear path from the Claude web interface through to Claude Code, and you can engage at whichever level suits you.
**Want to follow along?**
Pick the level that works for you and get set up before you arrive:
\- Web interface: A Claude account at claude\.ai\. Free tier is fine\.
\- Claude Code: Download the Claude desktop app at claude\.com/download\. Requires a paid Claude plan \(Pro or above\)\. On macOS/Linux\, run *curl \-fsSL https://claude\.ai/install\.sh \| bash* to install. Windows users can download the installer directly. No other dependencies needed.
Not set up? Everything will be on screen — you can explore at your own pace afterwards.
**🗒️ Agenda**
