Price £8

A celebration of the anarchic quality of classical music in anarchic style on the riverbank. Witness the beauty of the Baroque era in a shapeshifting informal setting after dark at The South Bank.

Embrace Vivalid, Corelli and Handel whilst supping a pint and chatting to your mates. Spontaenous clapping and movements permitted, if not encouraged. This is classical music without rules and it is all the better for it.

 

Flanked by a performance from folk act The Silvermoths and a DJ set, this orchestral concert reclaims classical tunes as a social pleasure rather than a guilty one.

Q: From the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment to Stephen King, to Night Shift. It all ties in so perfectly. And did you know that King's book - 'Night Shift' was written under a pseudonym? Well I didn't!

He deliberately released the novels with as little marketing presence as possible. King concludes that he has yet to find an answer to the "talent versus luck" question. His book 'Thinner' sold 28,000 copies during its initial run—and then ten times as many when it was revealed that he was, in fact, King.

So the question is… What was Stephen Kings pseudonym?

A: 1) Cyrus Scribble .2) Richard Bachman .3) Donald Write .4) Chuck Override
