London Zulu
An Afrobeat global funk mashup fronted by Soweto born, London raised vocalist Ingrid Webster.
Featuring members of the London collective Transglobal Underground.
The band was formed in tribute to Doreen Thobekile Webster, Ingrid’s mother. After being exiled from South Africa in the apartheid era, she became a major figure in the London African scene. She appeared in the musical Ipi Tombi, singing with Shikisha, Transglobal Underground, the KLF and many others. She was also a regular participant at Club Mwalimu.
Transglobal Underground produced her solo album London Zulu which was one of the first UK based Afro-electronic releases. After Doreen sadly passed away, her band reformed with Ingrid to play a number of tributes to her memory. The reaction to Doreen’s inspirational music and Ingrid’s charismatic onstage vibe was so strong that they’ve continued ever since. Ingrid and the band are still in regular demand around the city they’re named after.

Royal Opera House Live: Giselle (12A)
Encore screening of the 2016 production from the Royal Opera House.
The greatest of all Romantic ballets, Peter Wright’s production of Marius Petipa’s classic is a tale of betrayal, the supernatural and love that transcends death. Starring Marianela Nuñez and Vadim Muntagirov.
The role of Giselle provides the dancer with many technical and dramatic challenges, from the character’s early love to her poignant descent into madness and her final gesture of forgiveness from beyond the grave. The first act of the ballet is filled with historical detail and rustic colour. By contrast, the second, ‘white’ act plunges the audience into an eerie moonlit forest haunted by the ethereal Wilis.
WHY? With its combination of memorable story and exquisite choreography, Giselle is the perfect way to discover classical ballet
Run time 135 mins.
