  • See you at Cecil Sharp House

It's your perfect shared Sunday: a day of talks, walks, performances & food that bring the broadsheets to life.

  • Spend your Sunday in an oversized living room and enjoy a different kind of Sunday Papers: each section is presented by an expert speaker, performer or group: 15 - 30 minutes per section. Some will be silly, some serious, others will make you dance on the tables. First speaker begins at noon. Last performance finishes at around 10pm. 

  • Food is available ALL DAY.  All day brunches, benedicts, lunches, coffees & smoothies from The Breakfast Club. Cakes, crumbles, sarnies, salads & baguettes from the cafe. Fully stocked ale bar. There's Something About (Bloody) Mary bar from Vestal Vodka. The roast from Chef Tom Hunt.

  • Your paper this week includes:

  • WORLD NEWS: LINDSEY HILSUM (Channel 4 News International Editor) and JAMES LONGMAN (BBC foreign news producer)

  • A panel of journalists who have covered the Syrian conflict talk about how the conflict is now framed within the battle against ISIS and as such the people of Syria are often forgotten - what is life like for Syrians who have remained and for those who have fled; and what dreams do they have for the future of their country?

  • UK NEWS: AKALA 

  • You'd be forgiven for thinking there's only one Revolutionary voice out there right now fronting social justice for a new generation. Not so - MC, scriptwriter, actor and all round brilliant human Akala has been talking and walking the line for some time now. He has toured with Jay Z, NAS and M.I.A, given speeches and sat on panels at numerous conferences including TED, won a MOBO and collaborated with Sir Ian Mckellen and the RSC. A fierce intellect and terrifyingly talented on the mic, we have no doubt that Akala is going to blow our fluffy Sunday slippers off.

  • STYLE: KATHARINE HAMNETT

  • One of the most important names in the fashion industry, having promoted an ethical business philosophy since the 1980’s. Katharine is most widely known for her evocative political t-shirts. She was awarded a CBE in 2011 in honour of her influence and services to the fashion industry. Katharine was a highlight of our very first edition and we’re extremely excited to have her back. 

  • SPORT: THE BAREFOOT CLARK

  • Heir to the Clarks shoe dynasty and founder of Vivobarefoot, Galahad Clark is a wonderful contradiction. Being in some ways “anti-shoe”, Galahad is the black sheep of the family, and he brings with him arguably the most explosive research in sports science for decades.

  • CULTURE: PEPE BELMONTE

  • His musical influence meanders through Irish, Malian and Hawaiian folk to the pre-war blues of Chicago along The Delta and down through the lyrical landscape of Dylan, Mitchell and Young. Mississippi John Hurt meets JJ Cale meets Nick Drake. In March last year Pepe was knocked off his bicycle by a speeding police van leaving him in an induced coma for 10 days. Recovery was slow but culminated with a show at The Royal Albert Hall. Pepe has performed live only sporadically. A book of poems and pictures will soon be published and his debut album 'The Hermit's Waltz' is now available.

  • PAGE 3: JO HARRISON

  • No More Page Three campaigner, cartoonist & graphic designer. Jo is also a member of the AnyBody UK team, campaigning on Body Image and with other members from the organisation co-founded ‘Shape Your Culture’ a creative activism project aimed at young people in schools and youth groups.
