THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

OneTrackMinds brings its trademark mix of songs and storytelling up to Words Weekend for a celebration of the life-changing power of music.

An engaging cross between Desert Island Discs, TED Talks and The Moth, OneTrackMinds sees five guests share stores about the one song that changed their life – before we play that song to the audience.

“A London institution waiting to happen”Erica Buist

Our Words Weekend OneTrackMinds line-up will be featuring stories about life-changing songs from historian David Olusoga, journalist Rhik Samadder, performance poets Emma Purshouse and Malik Al-Nasir and playwright and author Cash Carraway.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry – and you may well find yourself dancing in the aisles…

“This show is like stepping into a warm bath”Vanessa Kisuule
