“One word can be worth a thousand pictures.” The Wall Street Journal on Via Dolorosa.
\nIn 1997, David Hare visited Israel and the Palestinian territory for the first time. He performed the resulting monologue about the divisions both between and inside the two communities over two hundred times, in the West End and on Broadway. The current three years of war have served to deepen the relevance and urgency of the questions the play once asked. Now, without a word changed, Alex Lawther will read the text twenty-eight years after its first performance, directed, like the original, by Stephen Daldry.

\n⸻
\nWe said the names would come closer to the night. Here they are.
\nJessica Sweetman
\nFifteen years old, singing in cigar bars — that is where the voice was made. A BMG deal took her to the States. She has opened for Van Morrison, Hozier, Alfie Boe and Keane, and toured with Paul Oakenfold. Her new single, ‘Dear Anxiety’, is out for World Mental Health Day on 10 October.
Christy O'Donnell
\nA Scot, back after a few years away, and back signed to Elton John's Rocket. There is a new album coming, and a film, 88Keys, in which he takes the lead.
One World Orchestra
\nMusicians from across the world, playing as one. Global traditions against contemporary songwriting, much of it made in the moment. In a room of fifty-five, there is not much distance left to close.
And one more. Guy asks a special guest to every night, and that name is not on the bill. It will not be. You will meet them in the room.
\n⸻
\nA live salon for people who care about how songs make you feel.
\nAfter a sold-out first season, VOICES returns: the same intimate ritual, a new mix of remarkable performers, and Guy's instinct for bringing together voices that create something unexpected.
\nThe collective intake of breath. The silence before the first note. With only 55 seats, you're closer to the artists — and inside the night — in a way you won't experience anywhere else.
\nThree acts. Five songs each.
\nOne you'll know.
\nOne you won't.
\nAnd one you never saw coming.
⸻
\nRobbie Williams · Kylie Minogue · Mark Ronson · Scissor Sisters · Lily Allen · INXS · Tom Jones · James Blunt · Rufus Wainwright.
\n⸻
\nRunning time: approx. 90 minutes, plus time afterwards to stay, talk and connect.
\n🗓 Wednesday 28 October 2026 · Sittings at 6:00pm and 8:00pm
\n📍 28 Heath Street, Hampstead NW3 · 30 seconds from the Tube

The room is air-conditioned.
\n⸻
\nWe said the names would come closer to the night. Here they are.
\nJessica Sweetman
\nFifteen years old, singing in cigar bars — that is where the voice was made. A BMG deal took her to the States. She has opened for Van Morrison, Hozier, Alfie Boe and Keane, and toured with Paul Oakenfold. Her new single, ‘Dear Anxiety’, is out for World Mental Health Day on 10 October.
Christy O'Donnell
\nA Scot, back after a few years away, and back signed to Elton John's Rocket. There is a new album coming, and a film, 88Keys, in which he takes the lead.
One World Orchestra
\nMusicians from across the world, playing as one. Global traditions against contemporary songwriting, much of it made in the moment. In a room of fifty-five, there is not much distance left to close.
And one more. Guy asks a special guest to every night, and that name is not on the bill. It will not be. You will meet them in the room.
\n⸻
\nA live salon for people who care about how songs make you feel.
\nAfter a sold-out first season, VOICES returns: the same intimate ritual, a new mix of remarkable performers, and Guy's instinct for bringing together voices that create something unexpected.
\nThe collective intake of breath. The silence before the first note. With only 55 seats, you're closer to the artists — and inside the night — in a way you won't experience anywhere else.
\nThree acts. Five songs each.
\nOne you'll know.
\nOne you won't.
\nAnd one you never saw coming.
⸻
\nRobbie Williams · Kylie Minogue · Mark Ronson · Scissor Sisters · Lily Allen · INXS · Tom Jones · James Blunt · Rufus Wainwright.
\n⸻
\nRunning time: approx. 90 minutes, plus time afterwards to stay, talk and connect.

One piano. Fifty-five seats.
\nThe biggest sound in rock, reduced to a voice and a piano. Queen built cathedrals of sound — the layered harmonies, the operatic scale, the spectacle that filled stadiums. Take all of it away and the songs still stand. The melody was always doing the work.
\nThe catalogue. Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon at full scale — Sheer Heart Attack (1974), A Night at the Opera (1975), News of the World (1977), The Game (1980). “Bohemian Rhapsody.” “Somebody to Love.” “Love of My Life.” “Who Wants to Live Forever.” “These Are the Days of Our Lives.”
\nOliver Darley and Chad Lelong take Queen’s songbook and reinterpret it whole — voice and piano, no band, no chorus, no spectacle. This is not a tribute. It’s a reinterpretation, in a room close enough to touch. Pure song and voice. Stripped back.
\nThe evening, both halves — like a record:
\n★ First set · Side A — reinterpreted entire: voice and piano, lights low, received in company.
★ Interval — a breath.
★ Second set · Side B — the songbook, whole.
★ After — stay, talk, connect. The evening doesn’t end at the door.
Oliver Darley & Chad Lelong
\nOliver Darley — former NME Male Vocalist of the Year, a burnished baritone and West End lead, who has shared stages with Ray Charles, BB King, Tom Jones and Jamie Cullum. Chad Lelong — pianist, composer and producer, founder of Trellick Records. Together, the duo behind the Simply Shows.
\nSIMPLY — four Friday songbooks at Circle & Star: George Michael (25 Sep) · Queen (30 Oct) · David Bowie, Director’s Cut (27 Nov) · Scott Walker (29 Jan 2027). Book any night, or take the four-night season pass — £90.

Wonder Room presents · hosted at the Circle & Star, Hampstead
Hosted by Jonathan Wingate
The story first. Then the record, in full. One album an evening — opened up, talked through, then played end to end. Lights low. Phones away. Fifty-five seats, listening together. This is not a gig. It's a salon, where the album is the star of the evening.
\nSide A · Discussion — a guided deep dive into Pink Moon: the two-night recording, the open tunings, the silence after.
Interval — a short break, a light refreshment.
Side B · Listen — Nick Drake's Pink Moon, in full, in the dark, in company.
1972. Twenty-eight minutes, one voice, one guitar — recorded in two late-night sessions and left at the front desk without a word. The quietest record ever to echo this loud.
\nYour host — Jonathan Wingate
Jonathan Wingate spent years as the spokesman for David Bowie and Sir Bob Geldof before turning to journalism. He writes for The Times, the Daily Telegraph, Mojo and Rolling Stone, and has interviewed everyone from Sir Paul McCartney, Sir George Martin and Robert Plant to Björk, Smokey Robinson and Tony Bennett. A regular voice on BBC television and radio.

FILM CLUB PRESENTS · AT CIRCLE & STAR, HAMPSTEAD
\nJohn Waters' Cry-Baby · One night only
\nLondon's newest cult film club, celebrating the most debauched and iconic moments in cinema history — and this time it comes up the stairs to Hampstead.
\nBaltimore, 1954. The Drapes against the Squares. Johnny Depp as Wade \"Cry-Baby\" Walker, the delinquent with a single perfect tear, in John Waters' rock'n'roll musical — a send-up of every teen picture the fifties ever made.
\nEvery screening opens with a little introduction — sometimes a costume competition, sometimes a quiz. There's free popcorn for everyone. Then a night of juvenile delinquency.
\nYou absolutely do not have to know the film. Whether it's your hundredth time or your first, the club welcomes you with open arms. Film fanatics, cinephiles and anyone looking to widen their film palate — Drapes and Squares alike.
\nHow the evening runs
7:30pm · Doors — come up, take your popcorn, find a seat
8:00pm · A little introduction to the film
Then Cry-Baby, in full — 85 minutes
Out by about 9:35pm
Cry-Baby (1990) · Written and directed by John Waters · With Johnny Depp, Amy Locane, Susan Tyrrell, Iggy Pop, Ricki Lake, Traci Lords and Polly Bergen · 85 minutes

Three nights only.
\nThis room has held singers, writers and actors. In November, for the first time, it holds a magician — and the room turns out to be the whole point.
\nLuke Jermay brings In Search of Magic to Circle & Star — classical sleight of hand, staged as a private soirée in Victorian London, and performed at the top of a Victorian staircase in a late-19th-century building on Heath Street.
\nThe Evening
\nAcross oceans, over mountains, around a frozen lake beneath a lighthouse at the end of the world. Our Magician has come back with stories, and with impossibilities from the golden age of conjuring — the hidden work of underground card cheats, the swordsmanship of the flamboyant L'Homme Masqué — revived by a contemporary master.
\nNo trapdoors. No smoke or mirrors. No camera trickery, no mechanical deception. Two hands, a few simple objects, and the living fictions they can make between them.
\nWhy it has to happen here

\nAcross oceans, over mountains, around a frozen lake beneath a lighthouse at the end of the world.

Cooper paid for every penny of that care from three thousand miles away, and never once visited. Denise, in the middle, has opinions about both of them and no intention of keeping them to herself.
\nAround them: an aunt who has not stopped talking since 1961, a rabbi hired off the internet who turns out to be a working comedian, a eulogy with the wrong names in it, and a grave that has been dug to the wrong size.
\nBy the end of the afternoon the Beckers will have learned something about their father that none of them suspected — and will have to decide whether they can stand to sit in the same room for a week.
\nWits End is a comedy about who did the caring, who paid for it, and what we owe someone we never really knew. The audience is the congregation, and in a room of fifty-five there is nowhere to look away.

\nAround them: an aunt who has not stopped talking since 1961, a rabbi hired off the internet who turns out to be a working comedian, a eulogy with the wrong names in it, and a grave that has been dug to the wrong size.
\nBy the end of the afternoon the Beckers will have learned something about their father that none of them suspected — and will have to decide whether they can stand to sit in the same room for a week.
\nWits End is a comedy about who did the caring, who paid for it, and what we owe someone we never really knew. The audience is the congregation, and in a room of fifty-five there is nowhere to look away.

Cooper paid for every penny of that care from three thousand miles away, and never once visited. Denise, in the middle, has opinions about both of them and no intention of keeping them to herself.
\nAround them: an aunt who has not stopped talking since 1961, a rabbi hired off the internet who turns out to be a working comedian, a eulogy with the wrong names in it, and a grave that has been dug to the wrong size.
\nBy the end of the afternoon the Beckers will have learned something about their father that none of them suspected — and will have to decide whether they can stand to sit in the same room for a week.
\nWits End is a comedy about who did the caring, who paid for it, and what we owe someone we never really knew. The audience is the congregation, and in a room of fifty-five there is nowhere to look away.

\nSomething is happening in Hampstead. We can't quite put our finger on it.
\nThe collective intake of breath. The silence before the first note. With only 55 seats, you're closer to the artists — and inside the night — in a way you won't experience anywhere else.
\nNew voices. Established voices. One room. Five songs each.
\nOne you'll know.
\nSomething new.
\nSomething unexpected.

\nThis evening's line-up will be announced soon. We know who is coming — you don't, and in a room this close the safest way in is to take your seat first and meet the bill later.
\n⸻
\nRobbie Williams · Kylie Minogue · Mark Ronson · Scissor Sisters · Lily Allen · INXS · Tom Jones · James Blunt · Rufus Wainwright.

\nThe room’s own Bowie evening, returned and expanded — the deep cut. Bowie hid behind personae his whole career; strip the arrangements away and the songwriting steps forward, stranger, plainer, more human.
\nThe catalogue. A shape-shifter across five decades — Hunky Dory (1971), The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust (1972), Low and “Heroes” (1977), Blackstar (2016). “Life on Mars?” “Space Oddity.” “Ashes to Ashes.” “Heroes.” “Where Are We Now?”
\nOliver and Chad’s Bowie album The Seat With The Clearest View (Lateralize Records) began as a reimagining of that catalogue. This is its Director’s Cut — the expanded, definitive take, brought back to Circle & Star whole. Voice and piano, no band, no spectacle. Pure song and voice. Stripped back.
\nThe evening, both halves — like a record:
\n★ First set · Side A — reinterpreted entire: voice and piano, lights low, received in company.
★ Interval — a breath.
★ Second set · Side B — the songbook, whole.
★ After — stay, talk, connect. The evening doesn’t end at the door.
Oliver Darley & Chad Lelong
\nOliver Darley — former NME Male Vocalist of the Year, a burnished baritone and West End lead, who has shared stages with Ray Charles, BB King, Tom Jones and Jamie Cullum. Chad Lelong — pianist, composer and producer, founder of Trellick Records; their Bowie album The Seat With The Clearest View was released on Lateralize Records.
\nSIMPLY — four Friday songbooks at Circle & Star: George Michael (25 Sep) · Queen (30 Oct) · David Bowie, Director’s Cut (27 Nov) · Scott Walker (29 Jan 2027). Book any night, or take the four-night season pass — £90.

\nNOW TUESDAY 1 DECEMBER 2026
\nFIELD NOTES — The Thinking Salon · № 001
\nThe first one sold out. So it returns — one more night, one more room of fifty-five, ten more smells passed hand to hand.
\nOn a crowded train, a stranger's perfume flings you right back to your reckless youth. You weren't looking for it. One breath, and you're suddenly years away. Smell doesn't knock — it walks right in.
Someone you haven't thought of in ten years, back in a single sniff. A place lost to time, but your mind marks the spot. The feeling lands intact, a time machine to your heart.
Smell touches our hidden selves. It retrieves vanished rooms, reclaims forgotten scenarios. It signals safety and danger, love and fear, life and death, all before the conscious mind can catch up.
For one night, Katie Puckrik does this on purpose — ten times over. The History of the World in 10 Smells is an exploration of time, space and emotion, told through the one sense you can't switch off: a playful scratch'n'sniff journey across pop culture, psychology, history, science and sex, led entirely by the nose. Ten smells, passed round the room one at a time, and the stories each one drags in behind it. One species, explained.
Perfumes kindly provided by Bloom Perfumery
Her evening
\n★ Ten smells, passed hand to hand — bring your nose
★ Time, space and emotion, told through the nose, in a room of fifty-five
★ This only works up close — Circle & Star is the right size to take it personally
★ Field Notes № 001 — the salon that sold out in September, back for one more night
How a Field Notes evening runs
\nDoors 7:00pm. A field notebook waits on every seat.
The idea, 7:30–8:30. One sitting, no interval. Phones away — and, alone among the Notes salons, the lights come up. The work is a living mind in the room, not a playback.
Then the room takes it up. Questions first, then time to stay, talk and connect. The conversation that doesn't end at the door.
About Katie Puckrik
\nKatie Puckrik built the first perfume channel on YouTube, and the one that changed how perfume gets talked about. She has spent the years since making scents make sense: funny, precise, idiosyncratic.
\nShe made her name presenting Channel 4's The Word, and has been a voice on popular culture ever since — devising and presenting ITV's Pyjama Party, fronting the BBC's I Can Go For That: The Smooth World of Yacht Rock, and writing for The Guardian, The Observer, The Telegraph, Elle and The Sunday Times. She co-hosts the modern history podcast We Didn't Start the Fire, named one of the Observer's ten best podcasts of 2021. Before television she danced — with DV8 Physical Theatre, the Michael Clark Company, and the Pet Shop Boys. And on this evening, she makes the invisible visible.
\nAlso in December — Tuesday 8 December, Sleeve Notes plays John Martyn's Solid Air, whole. The idea and the record, a week apart.
\nYou won't leave with the answer.
You'll leave still thinking.

Wonder Room presents · hosted at the Circle & Star, Hampstead
Hosted by Jonathan Wingate
Sixty-one years ago tomorrow, this was the record everyone wanted for Christmas. Rubber Soul came out on 3 December 1965, made in a month to be in the shops in time. We play it on the eve of its birthday — the story first, then the record in full. Lights low. Phones away. Fifty-five seats, listening together. This is not a gig. It's a salon, where the album is the star of the evening.
\nSide A · Discussion — a guided deep dive into Rubber Soul: the Christmas deadline, the sitar, plastic soul.
Interval — a short break, a light refreshment.
Side B · Listen — The Beatles' Rubber Soul, in full, in the dark, in company.
Live in the room — a guest musician joins us on Side A. To be announced.
\n1965. The year the Beatles stopped writing for the screaming and started writing for the listening. Folk guitars, a soul bass, a sitar on Norwegian Wood — and In My Life, Michelle, Nowhere Man. Fourteen songs, thirty-six minutes. Across the Atlantic, Brian Wilson heard it and went away to make Pet Sounds.
\nYour host — Jonathan Wingate
Jonathan Wingate spent years as the spokesman for David Bowie and Sir Bob Geldof before turning to journalism. He writes for The Times, the Daily Telegraph, Mojo and Rolling Stone, and has interviewed everyone from Sir Paul McCartney, Sir George Martin and Robert Plant to Björk, Smokey Robinson and Tony Bennett. A regular voice on BBC television and radio.
The perfect gift this Christmas. A seat at the salon, wrapped in a record — for the person who still reads the sleeve notes.
\n🗓 2 December 2026 · Doors 7:00pm · Side A 7:30pm · Out by 10:00

\nFifteen five-star reviews. The most acclaimed production of Oliver! in recent memory. Now, something entirely new.
\nThe Evening
\nPart detective story, part love letter, part provocation. Steve inhabits a gallery of characters across two halves — Fagin himself, of course, but also the real man who inspired him, the artists who shaped him, and the people who challenged everything we thought we knew.
\nThe first half traces Fagin from page to stage: the 257 times Dickens wrote \"the Jew\" instead of his name. The real-life Ikey Solomons — fence, fugitive, escapee — whose extraordinary story Dickens borrowed and never credited. The woman who bought Dickens' own house and confronted him about what he'd done.
\nThe second half belongs to the musical — Lionel Bart's East End genius, the transformation of villain into something audiences couldn't help but love, and why Oliver! changed the question entirely.
\nSongs. Sketches. Cruikshank's illustrations brought to life. A question that never quite resolves — and one performer holding all of it in a room of fifty-five.
\n\"Steve Furst is superb in the deeply problematic role of Fagin.\"
The Telegraph
\"Steve Furst is equally outstanding as anguished villain Fagin.\"
Daily Express
\"Steve Furst was incredible as Fagin.\"

Wonder Room presents · hosted at the Circle & Star, Hampstead
Hosted by Jonathan Wingate
The story first. Then the record, in full. One album an evening — opened up, talked through, then played end to end. Lights low. Phones away. Fifty-five seats, listening together. This is not a gig. It's a salon, where the album is the star of the evening.
\nSide A · Discussion — a guided deep dive into Solid Air: written for Nick Drake, the Echoplex, the slur.
Interval — a short break, a light refreshment.
Side B · Listen — John Martyn's Solid Air, in full, in the dark, in company.
1973. Jazz-warm and water-loose — the Echoplex glowing, the voice slurred to honey. The title track was written for Nick Drake; the whole record drifts like its name.
\nYour host — Jonathan Wingate
Jonathan Wingate spent years as the spokesman for David Bowie and Sir Bob Geldof before turning to journalism. He writes for The Times, the Daily Telegraph, Mojo and Rolling Stone, and has interviewed everyone from Sir Paul McCartney, Sir George Martin and Robert Plant to Björk, Smokey Robinson and Tony Bennett. A regular voice on BBC television and radio.

\nDavid McAlmont returns to Circle & Star with a seasonal treat — the Great American Songbook, and the personal story of a lifelong fascination with the country that created it.
\nTravelling backwards through almost sixty years of American influence, McAlmont sets Songbook classics he has never performed before alongside memories of film, history, music and television. In the year America turns two hundred and fifty, he asks what all of that has meant to someone who grew up watching it from somewhere else.
\nPart concert, part storytelling, What Is This Thing Called Love? explores what happens when childhood enchantment collides with adult knowledge.
\n★ The Great American Songbook — classics David has never sung before
★ Part concert, part storytelling — the songs and the life that found them
★ One of Britain’s great voices, in a room of fifty-five
★ One night only, in the run-up to Christmas
About David McAlmont
Singer, writer and art historian, David McAlmont has one of the most distinctive voices in British music. In this room, there is nothing between it and you.
This is Field Notes — the thinking salon. This time the idea is sung as well as spoken. You won’t leave with the answer. You’ll leave still humming it.

Steve Furst is Fagin — and it's Christmas.
A night of music, songs and Christmas. Fagin puts the stolen goods away and opens the doors. The songs of Chas & Dave, Oliver!, the London beat and a great deal of festive cheer — sung, played and roared out in a room of fifty-five.
\nIf you've been to one of our Lenny Beige nights, you'll know what to expect. And more.
\nSteve Furst's Fagin — an Offies Assessors' Choice, made in this room — swaps the questions for the singalong. Come for the songs. Stay for the knees up. Bring someone who knows the words.
\nThe perfect Christmas night out — and a seat makes a very good present.

\nReel Notes Nº.001 · The Watching Salon · One night only
\nAnthony Newley in The Small World of Sammy Lee
\nOne of Britain's great overlooked films — Soho, 1963, five hours and three hundred pounds. Seen whole, for one December night, in a room of fifty-five.
\nThe critics of 1963 walked straight past it.
Sixty-three years on, it looks like one of the finest British films of its decade — and far too few people have seen it on a screen.
Wolfgang Suschitzky shot it, eight years before he shot Get Carter. Ken Hughes took it out onto the real streets — the clubs, the caffs, the doorways of a London still patching itself up after the war. It began as Sammy, a half-hour BBC play in 1958 with Newley alone on screen; the film opens the door and lets him run. And the year it came out, the song he co-wrote, What Kind of Fool Am I?, won the Grammy for Song of the Year. He spent that year playing a man with nothing left — and gave the performance he should be remembered for.
\nSammy Lee has five hours to find three hundred pounds, or the men he owes will take it out of his hide. A Soho strip-club compère runs the length of his own small world — bookies, brothers, last favours — in Anthony Newley's blistering race against the clock. The London nobody sent home on a postcard — all neon, nerve and borrowed time.
\nPart One · The story
\nJason Solomons — film critic, broadcaster and author, former chair of the London Film Critics' Circle — explores the film with
Tara Newley — daughter of Anthony Newley and Joan Collins, born in October 1963, the year of the film — and
Mel Hughes — daughter of the director, Ken Hughes.
Then Steve Furst — actor, comedian and Circle & Star's artistic director — sings Newley. Feeling Good, Pure Imagination, Goldfinger, The Candy Man: you know the songs. Not everyone knows they're his.
\nPart Two · The picture, whole
\nThe Small World of Sammy Lee, in full — 107 minutes, lights low, phones away, watched in company.

\nHis acclaimed one-man production tours the UK each December, and this year it comes to Hampstead for the heart of our Christmas. Dickens’ own abridged text. Twenty-seven characters. One performer, one top hat, one overcoat — and a single coat stand for company. From Scrooge’s bark to Tiny Tim’s whisper, every soul in the tale — conjured in a room that was here when Dickens himself was alive and writing. You can almost feel the history in the walls: a theatre of fifty-five, and nothing between you and the story.
\nThis is not a reading. It’s a haunting, a redemption, and a Christmas morning — told the way it was meant to be told: live, close, and complete.
\nA family show. 70 minutes, plus an interval.
\n★ Dickens’ original abridged text — the version he performed himself
★ 27 characters, one performer, a lone coat stand for a prop
★ 70 minutes plus an interval — a whole Christmas evening
★ A family show — bring everyone
Each performance is in support of a local homeless charity this Christmas.
A portion of the box office from every ticket is donated.
“He is perfectly believable and entrancing — in character, voice and physicality — as all of the characters in the tale… Benn reminds us of the joy of being told a story.”
★★★★★ Louisa Clarke, West End Best Friend
“Brilliant character distinction and energetic facial expressions envelop the audience in Scrooge’s world… a feat of storytelling that is a delight to experience.”
★★★★ Bianca, Dec 2024
“Benn single-handedly takes on the enigmatic story that continues to charm audiences today.”

\nHis acclaimed one-man production tours the UK each December, and this year it comes to Hampstead for the heart of our Christmas. Dickens’ own abridged text. Twenty-seven characters. One performer, one top hat, one overcoat — and a single coat stand for company. From Scrooge’s bark to Tiny Tim’s whisper, every soul in the tale — conjured in a room that was here when Dickens himself was alive and writing. You can almost feel the history in the walls: a theatre of fifty-five, and nothing between you and the story.
\nThis is not a reading. It’s a haunting, a redemption, and a Christmas morning — told the way it was meant to be told: live, close, and complete.
\nA family show. 70 minutes, plus an interval.
\n★ Dickens’ original abridged text — the version he performed himself
★ 27 characters, one performer, a lone coat stand for a prop
★ 70 minutes plus an interval — a whole Christmas evening
★ A family show — bring everyone
Each performance is in support of a local homeless charity this Christmas.
A portion of the box office from every ticket is donated.
“He is perfectly believable and entrancing — in character, voice and physicality — as all of the characters in the tale… Benn reminds us of the joy of being told a story.”
★★★★★ Louisa Clarke, West End Best Friend
“Brilliant character distinction and energetic facial expressions envelop the audience in Scrooge’s world… a feat of storytelling that is a delight to experience.”
★★★★ Bianca, Dec 2024
“Benn single-handedly takes on the enigmatic story that continues to charm audiences today.”

One piano. Fifty-five seats.
\nThe voice that walked away from pop to find something stranger. Scott Walker had one of the great voices of his generation and spent a career refusing to use it the easy way — from the Walker Brothers’ pop to the solo records that turned inward, orchestral, unafraid.
\nThe catalogue. From The Walker Brothers to a restless solo career — Scott (1967) through Scott 4 (1969), and on to Climate of Hunter (1984), Tilt (1995) and The Drift (2006). “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore.” “Jackie.” “Montague Terrace (in Blue).” “The Electrician.”
\nOliver Darley and Chad Lelong open the story of that catalogue, then reinterpret it whole — voice and piano, stripped to the writing, in company. The most searching night of the season, closest to the bone. This is not a tribute. It’s a reinterpretation. Pure song and voice. Stripped back.
\nThe evening, both halves — like a record:
\n★ First set · Side A — reinterpreted entire: voice and piano, lights low, received in company.
★ Interval — a breath.
★ Second set · Side B — the songbook, whole.
★ After — stay, talk, connect. The evening doesn’t end at the door.
Oliver Darley & Chad Lelong
\nOliver Darley — former NME Male Vocalist of the Year, a burnished baritone and West End lead, who has shared stages with Ray Charles, BB King, Tom Jones and Jamie Cullum. Chad Lelong — pianist, composer and producer, founder of Trellick Records. Together, the duo behind the Simply Shows.
\nSIMPLY — four Friday songbooks at Circle & Star: George Michael (25 Sep) · Queen (30 Oct) · David Bowie, Director’s Cut (27 Nov) · Scott Walker (29 Jan 2027). Book any night, or take the four-night season pass — £90.
