What You Saying? presents an evening of stories on the theme of ‘Home’ at London’s DIY Space on November 16. 

The second iteration, with tickets available here, will host a night of stories, prompting you to dig into your memory bank, bringing you back to specific places like, “Sun Maid raisins, doing homework on staircases, or the middle seat of the car.”

The line up is yet to be released, and the hosts are still collecting names for the open mic for anyone keen to get involved.

What You Saying? is a newly run platform seeking to connect anyone interested in storytelling, from “bizarre to bonkers, serious to significant.”

Visit the DIY Space website for details.**

‘Mystic Tenor: Celebrating Albert Ayler’ @ DIY Space, Jul 13

11 July 2016

DIY Space in London will play records, screenings & host performances to commemorate the life of radical Jazz musician, Albert Ayler on July 13.

Two films will be screened on the date which would have been Ayler’s eightieth birthday: Michael Snow‘s 16mm ‘New York Eye and Ear Control’ and Kasper Collin‘s moving documentary portrait ‘My Name is Albert Ayler’.

The former incorporates footage of avant guard Canada in the mid-60s including Snow’s “walking women” sculptures alongside a free score by Ayler, and the latter follows the life of the musician between recording his first album in Sweden to his death eight years later.

See the DIY Space website for further details.**
