Festival Republic MD Melvin Benn discusses the company's ground‑breaking project to install mains power at London's Finsbury Park — the first installation of its kind in the UK. The move, a collaboration with Haringey Council and National Grid, aims to reduce reliance on temporary generators and use renewable energy for major concerts. Broke ground in March with the first mains-powered concerts scheduled for the end of June; the change offers operational efficiencies and modest carbon reductions as a statement of intent. Reading is already next in line for a similar installation in 2027. This episode of the Event Industry News Podcast is sponsored by Present Communications.

Max Halley joins The Go To from Max's Sandwich Shop in Finsbury Park — a place he describes as “a surprisingly serious restaurant masquerading as a silly sandwich shop.” From the ham, egg and chips sandwich Tesco tried to copy, to focaccia engineered for mayonnaise, juice and structural integrity, Max explains the thinking behind one of Britain's most joyful food institutions.In this episode, Max talks about his new book Cooking with Sausages, built on the revelation that sausages are really just pre-seasoned mince waiting to be liberated. He serves up a Morteau sausage, explains why he boils rather than grills, and takes us through sausage lasagne, Le Pig Mac, mortadella cheeseburgers, porchetta tacos and hangover macaroni designed to be eaten with a spoon.We also hear how Max nearly made a TV show called Chicken Lips and Salmon Legs before losing out to Taskmaster, why his first sandwich shop idea was called “Out Here on the Dance Floor,” and how an awkward licensing dispute became one of his greatest restaurant moments: a customer told to “get up and fuck off” to a round of applause.There are stories from Le Coq, Keira Knightley's alleged praise, Raymond Blanc being angry about missing tarragon, electric toothbrushes for sale outside Finsbury Park Tesco, cold lasagne in a croissant with honey, and a childhood memory of eating sheep on a spit in a French village. Expect sausage philosophy, sandwich engineering, strong opinions on cheese, and plenty of Max's “little pleasant splashes” of joy.Pre-Order Max's "Cooking With Sausages" Book Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooking-Sausages-Delicious-Everything-Chipolatas/dp/0241794692Watch and Subscribe To Our Youtube Videos Here - https://www.youtube.com/@gotofoodOrder Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523Get 2 Months of Blinq For Free - With Code - GOTOBLINQ - https://blinqme.com/Order The Greatest Meat In The Country From HG Walter Here & Have Restaurant Quality Meals From Home - www.hgwalter.com Hosted on Acast.

Wireless Festival has been cancelled, following the government's decision to block Kanye West's permission to travel to the UK.  The American rapper, who's now known as Ye, was due to headline the festival in Finsbury Park in the summer. He has a long history of antisemitic comments and actions, including writing a song glorifying Adolf Hitler. Mr West has blamed this on a brain injury and missed Bi-polar diagnosis. He has apologised and says he has reached out to the Jewish community in the UK. On this episode of The Fourcast, Keme Nzerem is joined by Dr. Toby Greene from the Board of Deputies of British Jews and music journalist Yemi Abiade.

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris are joined by global chart-topper Dermot Kennedy for a wide-ranging chat that blends football culture with life on the road as one of the world's biggest touring artists. From busking on the streets of Dublin to selling out the Aviva Stadium, Dermot opens up about the grind behind his rise, the self-doubt before album releases, and why live performances still mean everything to him.The lads dive into Dermot's deep love for football, growing up as a Manchester United fan inspired by Roy Keane, and his unforgettable experiences playing Soccer Aid alongside legends like Wayne Rooney, Rivaldo, and Carlos Tevez. There's also a brilliant crossover between music and football as they compare elite mentality, confidence, and what separates the very best from the rest.We also get a hilarious (and slightly chaotic) guitar lesson for Sids as he prepares for a potential live performance at Finsbury Park, plus a stunning live acoustic performance from Dermot that completely stops the room.After Dermot heads off, Pete and Sids regroup to debrief Pete's participation in another Liverpool Legends match, the Paddy Power predictions, and life without Chris—who's conveniently on holiday…Chumbawamba00:00 - Podcast intro & Sid's “popstar” identity crisis03:10 - Wild guest booking stories & big names teased05:10 - Phone network XI & absurd football chat07:45 - Dermot Kennedy joins the podcast09:00 - Touring with global superstars & live show pressure10:45 - New album nerves & self-doubt before release12:00 - Busking in Dublin & early arrogance14:00 - Music industry vs old-school artistry debate16:00 - Irish music culture & live performance roots17:30 - Football fandom & Roy Keane stories19:00 - Meeting Roy Keane & brutal fan encounters22:00 - Playing football growing up & mental escape23:30 - Soccer Aid stories & facing elite pros27:30 - Playing Old Trafford & halftime performance nerves29:00 - The moment his career exploded overnight31:30 - Talent vs hard work in music33:00 - Sid's chaotic guitar journey begins35:00 - Sid plays guitar (and survives)36:30 - Dermot performs live acoustic (incredible moment)38:30 - Fan questions & bizarre phone plan reveal40:30 - Songs he nearly didn't release42:00 - Touring life & favourite cities44:00 - Musicians who can actually play football45:00 - “Game's Gone” – VAR & modern football rants48:30 - Dermot leaves & shin pad campaign chaos50:00 - Liverpool Legends match debrief55:00 - Paddy Power predictions & football catch-up01:05:00 - Chris on holiday & podcast wrap-upFor more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris are joined by the one and only Marcus Mumford for a wide-ranging, hilarious, and surprisingly football-obsessed chat. From charity matches and penalty shootouts with José Mourinho, to growing up as a die-hard AFC Wimbledon fan, Marcus opens up on how deeply football is woven into his life and music.The lads dive into unforgettable stories from the Grenfell charity match, playing alongside Premier League legends, and why grassroots football still hits harder than the modern game. Marcus also lifts the lid on life at the very top of music — from Glastonbury and Hyde Park to playing at the White House, meeting Barack Obama, and getting a no-nonsense songwriting pep talk from Noel Gallagher.There's chaos too, as Crouchy's Spanish guitar challenge gathers pace, gigs are planned (and refused) around England kick-offs, and Marcus explains why hearing his music on Match of the Day was a bigger moment than almost anything else.Music, football, side quests, and a proper debate about whether the game really has gone — this one has it all.00:00 – Subscribe song, intro & opening chaos02:15 – Sid's holiday, previous guests & missing episodes05:10 – Guitar chat, New Year resolutions & festival fantasies08:40 – Kasabian, Finsbury Park & learning guitar late in life11:55 – Marcus Mumford joins the podcast14:30 – Grenfell charity match & scoring past José Mourinho19:05 – Visiting Mourinho at home & the “pantomime villain” role23:10 – Playing with football legends27:55 – New album Prizefighter & why it's his favourite record32:40 – Hyde Park, Glastonbury & refusing to gig during England games37:10 – AFC Wimbledon, grassroots football & fan ownership41:45 – Football chants, Match of the Day & music in stadiums46:20 – Noel Gallagher's brutal songwriting advice50:05 – Touring chaos, Mexico gigs & running into the sea mid-show54:30 – “Games Gone”, VAR & what football has lost57:10 – Chris serenades Marcus Mumford as a farewell58:05 – Paddy Power segment01:02:40 – Listener messages01:08:20 – Final thoughts, teasers & episode wrap-upThis episode is sponsored by The AA, the UK's No.1 breakdown provider.

Crouchy's dialling in from Dubai, Sid's gone full flamenco, and Chris is still reeling from missing the greatest night in Ally Pally history.In this episode, the boys catch up post-Christmas and somehow end up covering robot massages, dodgy gift-giving, Sidwell's ambition to become a Spanish guitar-playing Gypsy King, and whether the pod should launch a residency at Finsbury Park.Crouchy talks us through meeting Ronaldo at the World Sports Summit (yes, that Ronaldo), putting the podcast on the global stage, and why there's a very real chance we could become PSG's shirt sponsor.There's also a very passionate rant about the FA Cup, a long-overdue roasting of Tottenham's home form, and Chris has an existential breakdown over kids dressing as referees for Christmas.Darts.

Il y a ceux qui ont connu, pleinement vécu les années 80. Et puis il y a ceux qui y sont nés. Et franchement, on en est tous fiers, hein, d'avoir eu le compteur qui tourne au cours de ces fameuses années. Tenez, en 1988, nous sommes allés voir Rain Man, Le Grand Bleu et Piège de Cristal, c'est l'année où Ayrton Senna était champion du Monde de F1 et Tottenham terminait sixième du championnat de foot britannique. Ah c'est vrai que ce club a fait connaître le nom de ce quartier de l'extrême- nord du grand Londres dans le monde entier. Pas toujours en bien d'ailleurs, à cause de ses supporters hooligans. Et ben justement, c'est dans ce quartier très remuant et populaire qu'en 1988, naît la petite Adele Adkins, et c'est là qu'elle va se construire une personnalité et une histoire qui lui vaudront un succès prodigieux dans les années 2000.Oui c'est dans le quartier de Tottenham, avec ses deux cents nationalités différentes recensées, ses gangs qui livrent des batailles rangées avec la police ou avec d'autres bandes que la môme Adele a grandi. Si elle a été élevée par une mère seule, elle a été très entourée par une trentaine d'oncles, tantes et cousins qui vivent tous dans le voisinage. On ne tombe jamais bien loin de l'arbre dans la banlieue londonienne. On n'avait pas d'argent mais j'ai eu la meilleure enfance qui soit, dira Adele. A cinq ans déjà, on ne la met pas au lit le soir lors des fréquentes réunions de famille. Elle reste à table, au milieu des rires et des cris de la tribu qui se retrouve autour d'une bonne tourte et d'une flopée de bouteilles en tout genre. Et bien sûr, tout le monde chante, on est en Angleterre, et quand Adele reprend Gabrielle (Dreams) et les Spice Girls, là, tout le monde se tait et écoute, tout sourire, le petit prodige de la famille, avant d'applaudir.Non vraiment, Adele n'a pas loupé son rendez-vous avec la musique durant son enfance. Si je vous dis qu'elle assiste à son premier concert de rock cette année-là, vous n'allez pas le croire et pourtant c'est vrai. Nous sommes à Finsbury Park, un autre quartier métissé de la capitale. Et vous avez raison, elle est trop petite pour voir ce qui se passe sur scène. Alors sa mère demande au mec bâti comme une armoire à glace à côté d'elle s'il ne pourrait pas prendre la petite sur ses épaules. Et là, la gamine s'envole, vous vous souvenez quand vous étiez môme et qu'on vous soulevait, avec cette impression de voler, si pas, de flotter dans les airs. Et puis surtout de découvrir un point de vue incroyable. Plus besoin de lever les yeux pour avoir de toute façon la vue bouchée par une armée d'épaules, voilà Adele voguant sur une mer de têtes avec à l'horizon, des musiciens, des lumières et de la musique à fond les manettes. Ça va si fort qu'elle en a les larmes aux yeux. Pas étonnant que sur son album le plus vendu, on y retrouve un cover des Cure chargé d'émotion. Et même si ce n'est pas ce jour-là qu'Adele a décidé qu'elle serait chanteuse et rien d'autre, il est des moments de notre vie en mode jeune pousse qui impriment en nous tout ce que nous allons inexorablement devenir.

“Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?” spat a deflated Johnny Rotten before walking off stage in San Francisco. The Sex Pistols were finished. One album, a handful of singles, and a trail of chaos that changed British music.But where did it all begin? How did a green-haired kid from Finsbury Park, nearly killed by meningitis and raised in poverty, end up fronting the most incendiary band in British history?In Episode 1 of The Rise and Fall of Sex Pistols, Gina Birch, a founding member of The Raincoats, and Steve Lamacq drag you back to the murky mid-70s and dive into the turbulent origins of punk's most iconic band.From stolen Bowie gear to backroom pub auditions, this is a story of disillusioned youth, of a fetish shop on the King's Road, of a snarling, short-sighted teenager, and of a chaotic Britain. The perfect breeding ground for a cultural revolution that the Sex Pistols were being primed to lead.Featuring archive interviews with: John Lydon, Steve Jones, Glen Matlock, Paul Cook, Malcolm McLaren, Vivienne Westwood and Bob Geldof.Presented by Gina Birch and Steve LamacqA BBC Audio Production

Now based in London, he holds an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art (2024) and a Post-Baccalaureate diploma in Studio Art from the Burren College of Art (2023).Drawing upon the dual influences of his American upbringing and Irish heritage, Gleeson's practice engages with personal narratives, memory, and the subtle tensions between intimacy and distance.Gavin's work: gavingleeson.comGavin's Instagram: @gavingleesonartReference links:Tal R Visiting Artists Program Lecture at SAIC (2016)Markus Lüpertz, Dithyrambe – schwebend (Dithyramb – hovering) (1964)Annabel Grey, mosaic at Finsbury Park (1983)Masayoshi Fujita, Cumulonimbus Dream (2021)Michelangelo, The Last Judgement (1536-1541)

**editor's note** We had some tech issues with the recording this week, but I've done my best. Apologies for random echoes. It's not perfect, but it's a sh*t-ton better than it was /D Join Moose this week, as he lives vicariously through Hackett as FMH recounts what he describes as "the best weekend ever," including a viewing party of Back To The Beginning and a day of Slayer in Finsbury Park. Amazingly - and somewhat unusally - the weekend featured no physical injuries and left him all agog. There's also some important advice for any first-timers attending the upcoming Primordial Big Bang 7; mainly bring cash, and how you can be instantly popular by ringing the bell, but that will cost you all of the aforementioned cash.

Around the world, there are some foods that are either banned or super controversial. For example, in the United States, you can't buy haggis because it contains sheep lungs, which are banned. Foie gras, made from the liver of force-fed ducks or geese, is banned in places like California due to animal cruelty concerns. In Japan, eating fugu, a type of pufferfish, is a risky delicacy because it's poisonous if not prepared correctly. And in some countries, raw milk is a no-go because it can carry harmful bacteria.

An audiobook taster of James's new book So You've Been Ideologically Discredited PLUS an invitation for all our listeners, to the book launch at the Stapleton Tavern, Finsbury Park, Monday April 15th/7pm.

We head to the leafy suburbs of north London to visit Crouch End. The area might feel like somewhat of an underdog to the nearby bustling Finsbury Park but its abundance of quaint coffee shops and vibrant bistros, as well as its community feel, make it well worth a stopover. Local resident Rob Prendergast takes us on a tour of the neighbourhood's best culinary spots.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, we look at the return of Banksy after a new mural appeared overnight on a building in North London. And we look at why some potato-sized lumps on the seabed could be so valuable. Crowds have gathered in Finsbury Park to see the latest Banksy, a green spray painted tree mural on an empty building. What is its message? And does the artist still have the appeal they once did? Adam speaks with James Peak, the creator of the BBC Radio 4 series, “The Banksy Story.” Plus, the dispute going on over precious metals found in deepest parts of the ocean. The lumps contain crucial battery minerals including copper and cobalt, but some environmental groups say attempts to collect the materials could damage unique habitats. Adam looks at what's at stake with oceanographer and co-host of the Radio 4's “Rare Earth” series, Dr Helen Czerski, and BBC climate editor Justin Rowlatt.

A bank account can be everything in an increasingly cashless society. In the UK, banks closed more than 343,000 accounts in the last financial year. The practice is known as ‘debanking,' and clients are given no notice or recourse after they're flagged as potential risks. Muslim groups have complained for years that they are unfairly targeted. Their cause recently got an unexpected boost from far-right politician Nigel Farage after he uncovered that his account had also been shut down over his political beliefs. This week, the Financial Conduct Authority says a preliminary review has found "no evidence" that banks have shut or denied accounts over customers' political beliefs. But while Farage's case drew widespread attention and condemnation, many in the Muslim community say they are still suffering the consequences.

In this week's episode, we have a return guest to the podcast. Ruth Catlow has taken the amazing work she did in lockdown and held live festivals in the park where people get to become one of the seven core species: a dog, a Canada goose (just visiting!) a tree, grass… and, yes, a stag beetle. What they're not being, are people. So they're looking at the world through new eyes, hearing it with new ears, smelling, tasting, sensing in all ways - and the whole experience of what it is to live in this place as home, instead of just dropping in…becomes deeper, and more complex and more alive.  And then each of the species can put forward ideas for the Interspecies Treaty of Finsbury Park which will make it a much better place for everyone - including the people. And then - because Ruth's enthusiasm and expertise range widely over the ways things can be made more fair and equitable, as well as work better, she's designed the app that allows a much fairer voting system, so the people-become-MoreThanHumans can vote on the seven ideas put forward for the Treaty in ways that allows more nuance than simply ranking them. This last became a whole other hour of conversation on voting systems and how we can create a decent democracy - so that's the bonus... well worth a listen! The Treaty of Finsbury Park https://treaty.finsburypark.live/CultureStake App https://culturestake.org/Episode #163 https://accidentalgods.life/cultures-of-commoning/Experiences of the Interspecies Festival https://www.islingtontribune.co.uk/article/now-we-know-how-trees-in-the-park-feelNordic LARP https://nordiclarp.org/Quadratic Voting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_voting

RVG - "Squid" from the 2023 album Brain Worms from Fire Records Travel back in time with Melbourne-quartet RVG on today's Song of the Day.  “'Squid' is a song about going back in time and stepping on a Tiktaalik and then going back to the present but you have the same job, the same problems you had before except you're a squid,” vocalist Romy Vager explained to Rolling Stone Australia. “We jammed it on a whim and it ended up coming out really well. I left a large chunk of the lyrics till the last minute, finishing them off in Finsbury Park at 6 in the morning before I could get into the studio and record my vocals.” The track can be found on the band's third LP, Brain Worms, released last month via Fire Records. The band says the new album captures them at their most confident yet. “Hype is scary. After two years of COVID, it felt like the hype had gone down so we were able to just do stuff,” says Vager in a press statement. “This time around we were like, this is what we're doing, we're taking control, we're taking risks, and we're going to make an album that sounds big so that when we hear it on the radio we want to hear it again.”  Read the full story at KEXP.orgSupport the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dame Alicia Markova was born Lilian Alice Marks in December 1910, in a two-bedroom flat in Finsbury Park, London. She began ballet classes because she was flat footed and knock kneed. Her natural talent, when she was ten, was spotted by Diaghilev, the Russian artistic impresario who founded the Ballets Russes and brought the contemporary arts of Russia to Europe. Dame Alicia joined Diaghilev's company, which was based in Monte Carlo, in 1925, a month after her 14th birthday. Diaghilev changed her name to Alicia Markova and cast her in the title role of Nightingale in Le Rossignol, a ballet scored by Stravinsky, choreographed by Balanchine and with costumes designed by Matisse. It premiered in Paris in June 1925. After Diaghilev's death in 1929 she returned to England and became a leading figure of the emerging English ballet scene, dancing with the Ballet Rambert and Vic Wells Ballet, as well as at Sadlers Wells. Dame Alicia danced the leading roles in Swan Lake, The Nutcracker and Giselle, which became her trademark, illustrating her unique style of fragility and strength. In 1950, together with her dancing partner Anton Dolin, Dame Alicia founded The London Festival Ballet which eventually became the English National Ballet. She was still dancing Giselle at the age of 48 and had her last dance on stage in the early 1960s. Subsequently she has worked as director, patron and teacher and was awarded the CBE for services to dance in 1958. Her memory for dance steps has proved invaluable for dance historians, pupils and teachers alike.
