About this event

Resident Punk UK Launch Party is on Sunday 15 November 2026 at The Lexington, London, with doors at 18:30. Tickets start at £22, including the booking fee.

About the book. Time-travel to the punk scene of 1970s New York and beyond—as seen through the eyes of its chief reporter known as “the original punk” who gave the movement its name. Part memoir and part cultural history, Resident Punk offers a no-holds-barred expose chronicling the iconic and unforgettable music scene that would become defined by bands like the Ramones, Blondie, Television, the Heartbreakers, and Talking Heads. In 1975 at just 19 years old, Legs McNeil—alongside John Holmstrom and Ged Dunn—cofounded PUNK magazine. In doing so, they inadvertently chronicled the start of a movement. McNeil’s role in the whole thing? To be their resident punk, embodying the zeitgeist the magazine was looking to capture, often by getting f*cked up with musicians, artists, writers, and hangers-on . . . and sleeping with a different girl every day of the week. Now, just in time for the 50th anniversary of PUNK magazine, Legs tells the stories behind the stories in a sleazy, star-studded adventure. The coauthor of Please Kill Me, Legs invites readers along for the ride as he tussles with musicians and artists, groupies and writers, Golden Age Hollywood film stars and legendar...

PROXY MUSIC + The Pink Diamond Revue + Nick Carlisle

The Lexington · London

After a fifteen year hiatus, Proxy Music are back with their conceptual art-rock schtick - a little more jaded and creaky but sounding all the better for it, and still absolutely immersed in decadent retrofuturist 1973 glamour. Thogdin Ripley: Bryan Ferry Heidi Heelz: bass and vox Charley Fucking Stone: guitar Nick Carlisle: synth wizard Oliver Whawell: sax and oboe Percy Mackay: drums and original Roxy Music DNA Is it an art project? Is it a tribute band? Who cares! It's the most fun any self-respecting Roxy afficionado can have with their clothes on... Support comes from THE PINK DIAMOND REVUE “ Trying to describe them is like trying to explain a dream after three days without sleep, somewhere between 1950s rock ’n’ roll, acid house, synth‑punk, and some late‑night broadcast from a different dimension. They’ve built a sound that’s totally their own, even if nobody can agree what planet it came from. Imagine vintage blues smashing into relentless electronic grooves, fuzz‑drenched guitars welded to metronomic beats, a fever dream where the future dances with the past and nobody remembers who started the music. And then there’s the stage show, Tim Lane prowling lik...

Sunday Jazz Lunch | Frank Sinatra

Boisdale of Canary Wharf · London

“Stephen Triffitt is the best. The greatest. Because he captures the soul of my Father.” — Frank Sinatra Jr. Some performers study Sinatra. Stephen Triffitt inhabits him. Direct from Las Vegas, he brings a show built on timing, phrasing and the quiet confidence that defined Sinatra at his peak. From "My Way" and "New York, New York" to "I’ve Got You Under My Skin" and "That’s Life", the set moves through songs that were written to be lived in, not just sung. Backed by a superb live band, Triffitt delivers them with control and ease, letting the arrangements breathe while keeping that unmistakable swing intact. His credentials are not decorative. Triffitt starred as Sinatra in the original West End production of The Rat Pack Live and has sold out the London Palladium, building a reputation as one of the most respected interpreters of this music anywhere. This is Sinatra as it works best, up close, well played and without excess. Alongside the performance, guests can enjoy Boisdale’s two-course Sunday lunch, including the 18-hour slow-roasted dry-aged rib of Scottish beef, goose fat roast potatoes and classic sides, with vegetarian options also available.

The Rheingans Sisters - Matinee Show

Green Note · London

Critics have hailed their music as “extraordinary” and “fearless”, with The Guardian describing their 2024 album Start Close In as a “radical leap”. In three special live shows this Autumn at Camden’s best small music venue, The Rheingans Sisters will revisit material from their five-album discography to celebrate their life’s work together so far as well as showcasing new material from the duo plus both sisters’ solo songwriting. In these uniquely stripped back and intimate shows, expect the haunting BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winning song Mackerel to finally return alongside the timeless beauty of old classics like October Song, the epic balladry of This Forest and the wildness of Urjen plus brand new songs from both Rowan and Anna. A decade and a half of sisterly artistry distilled into a breathtaking evening; a chance to glimpse back with The Rheingans Sisters before their next leap forward.
