Artist Meetups London

Guided Tour of the Deutsche Bank Art Collection! (Full Members only)

Come along on Wednesday 30th September for a guided tour of the Deutsche Bank art collection. **About the collection & Deutsche Bank** Deutsche Bank opened its London office in 1973. Fifty two years later there are 100 conference rooms in the bank's London buildings named after artists from around the globe. In each room a wall plaque provides a short biography of the artist alongside their work. Floors and corridors are also hung with the Collection, making sure art is a continuous part of everyone's thought process. The reception area of the London headquarters features large artworks by Keith Tyson and Damien Hirst as well as major sculptures by Anish Kapoor and Tony Cragg however the vast majority of the art in the Deutsche Bank Collection is on a modest scale, focussing on works on paper. We are having a guided tour of the collection in the evening, lasting 1h 30mins. **Cost** Tour cost is £10 per person (payable on the day by cash or card).

Beyond the Playlist: A Music Listening Club

September: The Golden Age of Singer-Songwriters For our September Beyond the Playlist meetup, we’re going back to the golden age of the singer-songwriter through three remarkable artists and three defining albums: Bob Dylan — The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan (1963) Leonard Cohen — Songs of Leonard Cohen (1967) Joni Mitchell — Blue (1971) Before we meet, listen to all three albums from beginning to end. That’s it. You don’t need to know anything about the artists, the era or music theory—just listen and see what you think. Maybe you’ll discover music you never thought you’d listen to. Maybe you’ll rediscover an artist or album you thought you already knew. Maybe something will move you, surprise you, or leave you wondering what everyone else sees in it. All reactions are welcome. When we meet, we’ll have a drink and talk about what we heard: what stayed with us, what surprised us, what we loved—or didn’t—and how differently we each experienced the same music. For anyone who wants to dig deeper, I’ll also share some optional albums and other material to explore, but the three albums above are all you need for the meetup. No music expertise required. Just curiosity and a willingness to listen. Coming next: October — Trip Hop November — Neo-Soul December — Country Each month we’ll explore a new musical world through three artists and three defining albums. Sunday, 27 September 2026 6:00–8:00 pm The Black Horse 6 Rathbone Place London W1T 1HL A few minutes’ walk from Tottenham Court Road station.
