From the wild streets of Soho to the even wilder corridors of the publishing world, Andrew talks on class divides, the art of writing, and his near-miss moments in Hollywood, takes us behind the scenes of his latest book Caledonian Road, the madness of Julian Assange, and that time he found himself in the Queen's orbit.Make sure you subscribe and leave a 5 star review!

Andrew O'Hagan's Caledonian Road was one of 2024's bestselling novels, with readers delighting in his searing portrayal of privilege punctured in a changing world. To celebrate its arrival in paperback we're thrilled to share the conversation from his recent event with Natalie Jamieson at Waterstones Piccadilly, in which he shares the connections between his characters, his meticulous planning, and some of the incredible true stories behind this state-of-the-nation novel.

Louise O'Brien reviews three of her favourite books from last year: Caledonian Road by Andrew O'Hagan, published by Faber, Juice by Tim Winton, published by Hamish Hamilton, and James by Percivall Everett, published by Macmillan.

In this episode of Danny Hurst´s podcast he once again speaks to someone who grew up in London. Today, it is the turn of Adam and the Ants guitarist, songwriter and record producer Marco Pirroni, who has appeared alongside some of the most well-known names in music, including not only Adam Ant, but also Sinéad O'Connor, Siouxsie Sioux, Sid Vicious, Shakespeare's Sister and many others. He shares some memories of growing up just off the Caledonian Road, Camden when it wasn't fashionable, Soho and the West End; a life that compared starkly with living in America. Naturally, he also shares some great insights and stories about London´s music scene, especially in the 70's, 80s and 90s, punk and New Wave, Vivienne and Malcolm's shop on the Kings Road, the story behind Prince Charming and whether the Ants are ever likely to tour again.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Until the late 80s, virtually every shop in London closed early. Each area of London had its own very distinctive character, usually heavily influenced by which immigrant groups lived there. Malcolm McClaren´s punk clothes shop originally sold Teddy Boy clothing designed by his then girlfriend, Vivienne Westwood. Malcolm liked to be mischievous, sometimes he involved Marco. Marco shares a couple of those stories. The Roxy launched some great bands including Generation X and The Clash. BEST MOMENTS “In the early 80s, it (London) was still pretty dead… nothing was ever open.” “All their fans were trying to gravitate to something else. Suddenly, this 50s clothes things was happening on the King's Road.” “My mum and dad ran a restaurant. Everyone in it was Italian. Anyone who ever came around was Italian.” “I was born in London. I am very happy to die in London, when the time comes.” “Punk sort of influenced everything so much so that everyone forgets that it was that that did it.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Pirroni https://www.linkedin.com/in/marco-pirroni-433373b4 Convent - https://dvrbs.camdenhistory.com/camden-religion/camdennj-church-perpetualrosaryconvent.htm Pet shop - https://nickygrace.co.uk/2013/01/10/the-old-pet-shop-in-camden-town Malcolm McClaren´s punk clothes shop - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_(boutique) HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students.

What a treat. LA Times book critic Bethanne Patrick and I got the opportunity to talk today with the great Andrew O'Hagan, author of Caledonian Road, his new blockbuster novel about the state of contemporary Britain. It's a fabulous read and O'Hagan was no less fab, generously dedicating an hour to our questions. As O'Hagan explained, for all his horror at the Dickensian squalor of contemporary Britain, Caledonian Road remains his most defiantly optimistic novel, particularly in its brilliantly uplifting ending. And it's his most personally generous novel too. Caledonian Road took 10 years to finish and he acknowledges pouring the experience of his own life as a glamorous north London literati into its quasi-autobiographical narrative. Enjoy. Andrew O'Hagan, a Scottish novelist and essayist, is a winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction, a three-time nominee for the Booker Prize, the editor-at-large of the London Review of Books, and a contributor to The New Yorker.

Spy novelists often make excellent moralists and the American writer Daniel Silva, author of the Gabriel Allon series of best-selling thrillers, is a particularly sharp critic of contemporary morals. His new Allon thriller, A Death in Cornwall, focuses on money laundering, murder and mayhem in the art world. The novel is set in the contemporary United Kingdom of the (once) ruling Tory party where international criminals use expensive art to feed their vanity and launder their ill gotten cash. This conversation with Silva is part one of our focus this week on the fetid underbelly of the international art scene. Tomorrow, we'll feature a conversation with the Scottish writer Andrew O'Hagan, author of Caledonian Road, about the moral corruption of not just the UK's politics and its cultural economy, but also of art critics themselves. Daniel Silva is the award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Unlikely Spy, The Mark of the Assassin, The Marching Season, The Kill Artist, The English Assassin, The Confessor, A Death in Vienna, Prince of Fire, The Messenger, The Secret Servant, Moscow Rules, The Defector, The Rembrandt Affair, Portrait of a Spy, The Fallen Angel, The English Girl, The Heist, and The English Spy.

Much has changed in England's capital during the last decade. Breweries have come and gone as have countless beer styles, too. But in 2024, Hammerton Brewery - based moments from Caledonian Road & Barnsbury railway station in the London Borough of Islington - proudly celebrates its 10th anniversary. The business, founded by Lee Hammerton and his girlfriend - now wife - Karina has produced a wealth of beers during those 10 years, picking up a raft of awards along the way. And brewing is something that runs in the blood for the Hammerton's, with Lee being a distant relative of the family that founded the original Hammerton Brewery, a substantial site situated at the bottom of Lingham Street in Stockwell, and one acquired by Charles Hammerton in the late 19th century. While the modern Hammerton produces a number of decorated dark beers, that original brewery was also known for being the first in the UK, and probably Europe, to use oysters as part of the process of brewing stout in 1938. In this podcast episode, which is also available to watch on our YouTube channel we chart the last decade through some of the brewery's most important beers. From N7 IPA and Panama Extra Pale Ale to the alcohol-free Zed and from nitro stout Tint to City of Cake, which just picked up Gold in the Cask competition at the recent SIBA Independent Beer Awards 2024, we discuss how these beers have shaped the first 10 years of one of London's finest breweries.

Children of the Sun - Civil War - Caledonian Road

How time flies when the world is on fire… a quarter of 2024 has already passed and the Matts check global progress against their expectations at New Year. It's a grind reality check as Gaza and Ukraine go from bad to worse and Trump appears to be gaining ground on the White House. On the upside, there've been a bunch of cultural highlights to provide welcome distraction - not least the publication this week of Caledonian Road by Andrew O'Hagan. “It's like Bonfire Of the Vanities… but better” says Matt d'Ancona.

On this episode, we were joined by author Andrew O'Hagan to discuss his truly exciting new novel, Caledonian Road, which has been selected as the Hatchards Fiction Book of the Month for April.Wedged between two epochal events that have shaped our age — the global pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine — the story follows Campbell Flynn, art historian, TV presenter, London resident, and man in free fall, as a web of crime and conspiracy eviscerates his sense of self-identity and redefines what it means to be a “good liberal” at a time where nothing is above scrutiny.Andrew spoke us to about taking inspiration from classic Victorian novels; how his time spent with figures like Julian Assange and South London gangs informs the book's characters; why novelists should write without fear; and as Andrew is Glaswegian, we cover the city's ill-fated “Willy Wonka Experience” that grabbed global headlines back in March.Signed copies of the book are now available to be purchased in-store or on our website. Hosted by Ryan Edgington and Matt Hennessey.---Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/vocalista/in-the-hall-of-the-mountain-king-acapellaLicense code: ARSRS82KANYK7CLW

Le temple Shaolin de Londres, partie 2 Je suis de retour ici, mon maître entraîne encore des élèves, sa femme (Mme Fu) est venue me chercher à la station de métro Caledonian Road et m'a conduit au temple, qui se trouve non loin de la station Tufnell Park. En chemin, son fils Tian Tian, qui est l'un de mes filleuls et avec qui j'ai vécu plusieurs années, est monté à bord. Lorsque mon maître Shi Yan Zi a rencontré sa femme, il a renoncé à son statut de "moine", mais il reste bien sûr un "maître". Son kung-fu est toujours un rêve, sa sagesse est toujours aussi vaste. Lorsque Shi Yan Zi a terminé, nous avons pu nous prendre dans les bras, il s'est passé beaucoup de temps depuis notre dernière rencontre, l'hystérie mondiale a également eu des répercussions sur la communauté bouddhiste, le temple de Londres a été fermé pendant plus de six mois, aujourd'hui les activités ont repris presque normalement. Nous nous sommes assis à une table dans l'entrée du temple et nous avons commencé à parler, comme si nous n'avions pas été séparés plus d'une semaine, nous avons repris plus ou moins sans transition là où nous avions terminé. La femme de mon maître a cuisiné un petit quelque chose, nous avons longuement parlé et lorsque nous avons réalisé qu'il était plus d'une heure, nous sommes allés nous coucher, un peu mélancoliques, mais rapidement. Je n'ai pas vraiment bien dormi, ma chambre est certes grande et lumineuse, mais dans le lit il n'y a pas de matelas, mais une sorte de planche (futon), qui est censée être très saine pour le dos, mais qui ne correspond justement pas à ce à quoi je suis habituellement "habituée". J'ai apporté mon propre café (soluble), une bouilloire se trouve toujours dans une chambre dans un ménage chinois ; d'abord un café, ensuite la douche. J'ai également suivi mon programme de yoga habituel, je ne pars pas sans mon tapis, les exercices d'étirement quotidiens sont devenus incroyablement importants pour moi. Mon maître s'entraînait déjà de nouveau, j'ai attendu qu'il ait fini, nous nous sommes salués avec joie. Il y a certes une dizaine de professeurs au Temple Shaolin de Londres, mais c'est Shi Yan Zi qui se charge de l'essentiel. Il m'a dit que nous allions nous rendre dans un magasin de meubles connu, qu'il voulait acheter un matelas pour mon lit. Je n'avais rien dit, je ne me plaindrais en aucun cas, c'était son idée, mais je n'en étais pas triste. Aussitôt dit, aussitôt fait, nous avons traversé Londres, pris d'abord un café à la cantine de l'entreprise suédoise, puis nous avons fait la visite obligatoire, trouvé un support adapté à mon lit, et sommes rentrés au temple. La prochaine nuit sera certainement plus calme. Et comme toujours, le chemin est le but ! Tout est terminé, la vie est vécue, tout ce qui devait être fait a été fait, il n'y a rien d'autre à faire. - Bouddha - nom d'honneur de Siddharta Gautama - 560 à 480 avant l'an zéro Copyright : https://shaolin-rainer.de (Veuillez également télécharger mon application „Shaolin-Rainer" depuis les magasins Apple et Android) Veuillez nous noter sur Apple, Google ou Spotify podcast pour nous aider à promouvoir l'émission. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/buddha-blog-francais/message

The Shaolin Temple London Part 2 I am here again, my master is still training students now, his wife (Mrs. Fu) picked me up at Caledonian Road tube station, drove me to the temple, which is not far from Tufnell Park station. On the way, her son Tian Tian, who is one of my godchildren, also lived with me for several years, joined me. When my master Shi Yan Zi met his wife he gave up the status of "monk" at that time, but a "master" he remains of course. His Kung Fu is still a dream, his wisdom comprehensive. When Shi Yan Zi was finished we were able to embrace each other, a long time has passed since the last meeting, the worldwide hysteria also had its effects on the Buddhist community, the London temple was closed for more than six months, today it is running almost normally again. We sat down at a table in the entrance area of the temple and started talking, as if we had not been apart for more than a week, we picked up more or less seamlessly where we had ended. My master's wife cooked a snack, we talked for a long time, and when we realized it was past one o'clock, we went to bed, somewhat melancholy but brisk. I didn't really sleep well, my room is big and bright, but in the bed there is no mattress, but a kind of board (futon), which is supposed to be very healthy for the back, but just not what I am usually "used to". I brought my own coffee (soluble), a kettle is always in a room in a Chinese household; first coffee, then into the shower. I also went through my usual yoga program, I don't leave without my mat, the daily stretching exercises have become incredibly important to me. My master was already training again, I waited until he was done, we greeted each other joyfully. Although there are about ten teachers in the Shaolin Temple London, but to Shi Yan Zi somehow still remains the main part. He said we were going to a well-known furniture store, he wanted to buy a mattress for my bed. I hadn't said anything, I wouldn't complain under any circumstances, it was his idea, but I wasn't sad about it. No sooner said than done, we drove around London, first had a coffee in the canteen of the Swedish company, then went through the obligatory tour, found a suitable pad for my bed, and drove back to the temple. The next night will certainly be more restful. And as always, the journey is the destination! Shi Yan Zi and me in Chinatown London May 2022 It is finished, life is lived, everything has been done that needed to be done, there is nothing more to do - Buddha - honorary name of Siddharta Gautama - 560 to 480 before the year zero Copyright: https://shaolin-rainer.de (Please also download my app "Buddha-Blog English" from the Apple and Android stores)

Daniel Smyth (Brent Centre for Young People).  Recorded at the Freud Museum London on 6 December 2012. A discussion about the use of football as a means of working with adolescent boys expressing emotional and behavioural difficulties. Daniel Smyth (Brent Centre for Young People) will talk about his project “Sport and Thought”, which was designed to enable adolescent boys to think about themselves as emotional beings and bring about behavioural change through the use of self-reflection and therapeutic interventions during coaching sessions. The project is inspired by the idea that an individual's reaction within a sporting context will mirror his reactions at school, home and on the streets. The talk will centre on a year-long project in Harlesden, north west London, the work that was undertaken, and the remarkable outcomes achieved by those who took part. Daniel Smyth has worked at the Brent Adolescent Centre for the past 7 years. He is a Psychodynamic Counsellor. Daniel started off working as a youth worker in the Sommers town area of Kings Cross with young homeless adolescents, before working on the Caledonian Road area of Islington with young people removed from school due to severe emotional and behavioural difficulties. His work at the Brent Adolescent centre is very much out-reach based, working in a number of schools across the borough, working with young people at risk of school exclusion due to behavioural difficulties. Daniel created the Sport and Thought project as a response to the need to work with adolescent boys in a therapeutic way, boys who would never agree to enter the consulting room. Daniel's work with hard to reach adolescents has been recognised at governmental level on two occasions via awards from the Home Office.

In this week's episode hosts Matt Williams and Lucy Macieira sit down with Russell Swallow and Joana Casaca, two members of the team behind The Cally Festival taking place in North London on Sunday 23rd June 2019. Caledonian Road is one of London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods and this annual event is a celebration of everything the area has to offer. Each year, for one day, they close Caledonian road and over 7000 people come together to throw a huge party in it. Russell and Joana talk us through the history of the festival, logistics, booking acts to appear and things to look out for at this year's event.

Giving A story - King's Cross to Caledonian Road. And what happened when... Time, possessions and money Giving is seemingly one of the three forbidden subjects for Christians to discuss in the 21st century! The other two being sex and power. Jesus talked about all three often! Every person has in differing quantities: time, talent, possessions and money. In relationship to giving, the Church is to be a community where the strongest members support the weakest members. This applies not only to the local church, but also at a national and international level as well. Too often, even as Christian Disciples we are found turning a blind eye to the suffering of others where the bare necessities of life are in sparse existence. Too often we gather possessions and people, instead of giving up our time and money generously to help the poor and needy of both our world and local communities. Too often we keep our time and talents selfishly to ourselves instead of giving them to others in need. Spiritual Growth Indicator Perhaps the greatest indicator of spiritual growth in the Christian Disciple concerns their giving – particularly financial giving. Paul writing to the Corinthians commands that giving is to be done whole-heartedly and cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:7). WOW! For the Christian Disciple, it is not so much how much is given, but how much is left after giving. God looks beyond the amount that is given to the motive and attitude behind the giving. All of our money, time, talents and possessions belong to God anyway, so giving is to be in response to this. Giving is to be done out of love for God. Paul offers in 1 Corinthians 16:2 a three-point system for giving financially: regularly, methodically and proportionately. Failure to give back to God's work what He has given the Christian Disciple in the first place, robs God (Malachi 3:8). The reason it robs is because the giving cannot be used to support those who are working for God. As a result of giving, the Christian Disciple will be blessed (Malachi 3:10) and have their needs satisfied (Philippians 4:19). Old Testament In the Old Testament, Widows were important to God, because justice is important to God as He is a God of perfect justice and consummate mercy. In the Old Testament, under the Law of Moses, God commanded provision for those who were widows, oppressed or uncared for. The 12 Apostles would have known about God caring for the widows and through Jesus’ teaching about justice for the poor and the oppressed. We know this because if you read the Book of Acts, people were selling and sharing possessions and ensuring that all people within the Christian community were being looked after and cared for. This included making sure that everyone got fed, particularly those who had no family to care for them. And it was not just for those within the church – but from the wider community! New Testament The New Testament church made sure that financial giving was done and that the poor, the oppressed, the lonely and the widows were taken care of. People working fulltime for the Lord, were given recompense by others for their efforts. People gave. Paul in Romans 12:6-8 places giving as a spiritual gift! I wonder how many people have asked specifically for that particular gift. Perhaps it’s the least asked for gift; after all it isn’t one of the supposedly spectacular ones! You and I How are you doing? How is your giving of your time, your talents, your possessions and your money on a local, national and international level? The get out clause for a lot of Christians is that it would not be good stewardship to give to that person or that cause. Or they say the passages in the book of Acts are only descriptive of that particular time and have no relevance for us today. Each of us has in varying quantities: time, talents, possessions and money. How is your giving of those to others doing? God gave everything so that you and I may have life and life in abundance. So by giving generously of your time, your talents, your possessions and your finances, you are reflecting that. Just as God gave and gives generously, and gave His Son as a ransom for sin. If you have run out of ideas about how to give what you have, ask God to show you and give you some creative ideas! Go live! Go give! How’s that for a WOW word?

1 hour 43 min podcast version. Not safe for work. Contains some swearing and adult themes. Interesting people talk about the music, films and music for films which have shaped their lives. Roz Kaveney, Tim Concannon and their guest Andrew Smith wander down busy Caledonian Road in North London, to Housmans peace bookshop near to Kings Cross station. They discuss two linked technologies produced by the atomic age, computers and nuclear arms, and the ways that the peace movement and radicalism have responded to both being part of modern armed conflict. The starting point for the conversation is Pete Watkins’s 1965 film for the BBC, banned from broadcast at the time, ‘The War Game‘. Made two decades before ‘Threads‘ and Raymond Briggs’s ‘Where the Wind Blows‘, Pete Watkins’s film is a documentary-style depiction of Britain under nuclear attack. It was withdrawn before transmission by the BBC under government pressure, but went on to win an Oscar for Best Documentary. Caledonian Road is notable for two things: its longstanding Irish community and Housmans Bookshop, opened in 1959 and named after Laurence Houseman the gay, pacifist playwright who suggested the Peace Pledge Union establish a permanent base in 1948. As well as publishing Peace News, it became a focus of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament . The two worlds converged in 1974 when an IRA bomb blew up the pillar box outside the shop. The explosion incinerated all the copies of Campaign Against Arms Trade’s first newsletter.

Myq Kaplan's mind is in constant motion. If you saw him early on in his career, you might have caught him in a constant barrage of one- and two-line jokes, all quick-witted stuff that would flit from one premise to the next. Over the years, Kaplan has retained that rhythm, but he has developed the ideas more. Those smaller bits are woven around a larger theme, as with last year's No Kidding in which Kaplan explored his lack of desire to have kids. Kaplan is about to bring his next show, All Killing Aside (A Work In Progress) to the Soho Theatre in London July 27 and 28, and from there to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it will play through most of August. When I caught up with him for a post-show chat at a local restaurant in Boston last month, he was still working on that show. But he tossed it all out the window to try out new material for the hometown crowd at The Gas, a weekly indie comedy show at the Great Scott rock club. “The most fun is in the motion, the creation,” he says. “The moments where a new thing gets a laugh.” We talked about which he liked better – performing a carefully crafted one-person show or riffing new material, about the new show, and about his unrelenting positivity. There are two things you can rely on to get from Kaplan's social media – snappy jokes and personal affirmations. He's a joy to be around and it's fun to watch him work. You can see him at the Soho Theatre in London July 27 and 28, and then at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe August 1-26 at Underbelly in Bristo Square. Find out more about Kaplan's tour dates, albums, and podcast at MyqKaplan.com. This week's featured track is “The Cally,” a track from English folk duo The Rails from their new album Other People, released June 29th. This is a highly pedigreed band, made up of wife and husband Kami Thompson and James Walbourne. Kami Thompson is the daughter of Linda and Richard Thompson. She released her full-length debut as a singer/songwriter, Love Lies, in 2011. James Walbourne has an enviable resume as a guitarist, having been a member of Son Volt, The Pogues, The Pernice Brothers, and Ray Davies' touring band, and he's currently the lead guitarist for The Pretenders. I saw on Discogs the band released an EP called Habit under the name Dead Flamingoes in 2001. I have to commend the name change to The Rails for their 2014 full-length debut, Fair Warning. There are a lot of great songs on this album, but this one I can feel in my bones. It's the first track, and made me a fan right away. Walbourne wrote it as a tribute to his grandfather Sindey, who would tell him stories about The Cally Pub on London's Caledonian Road. But it's also a memorial for a pre-gentrified London, a theme that works its way through a few songs on the album. “The Cally” is both defiant and melancholy, a declaration that however ephemeral a time and place may be, it can still live in your heart. The new album is called Other People, and you can find out more about it at TheRailsOfficial.com.
