@BarbicanCentre is buzzing! Such a vibrant place to visit on a Friday night #soupandtart
I was crying before it even started. Mesmeric. Book now for Glorious @rajni_shah at the Barbican. Breathe deeply. Relax embrace the work
Outstanding concert tonight @BarbicanCentre - Sir Simon Rattle and @londonsymphony. (And the loudest and largest gong I’ve ever heard!)
The people at the @BarbicanCentre are brilliant. Best customer service I’ve received in a long time!
Press quotes
‘The Barbican is pulling out all the stops for the cultural celebrations of next year – and it’s well worth checking out the whole programme’
Time Out, July 2011
‘an astounding weekend marking the iconic – and never ironic – American composer’s 75th birthday. Some 5,000 people attended, spanning all generations and with artists, including Reich notching up 24 hours of music (being something of a slouch I only heard 10 hours); 16,000 people listened to the Barbican’s Reverberations podcast on iTunes. These figures are sufficiently extraordinary to itemise’
Observer, May 2011, on Reverberations: The Influence of Steve Reich
‘Anyone doubting the impact that Japanese fashion has on what we choose every day to wear should pay a visit to the excellent Future Beauty show at the Barbican’

‘Go and get educated, lifted, inspired’
Time Out, March 2011, on Laurie Anderson, Trisha Brown, Gordon Matta-Clark: Pioneers of the Downtown Scene, New York 1970s
‘The opportunity to see this early Mizoguchi in London is rare enough. But this weekend’s screening offers an even rarer chance to see a Japanese silent film with live spoken narration, as was customary in the 1920s and 1930s’
