Come and see my electronica ghost stories live!
by Martin Belam, August 27, 2026 It has been a while since the last m-orchestra shows, but I shall be breaking my 2026 duck at Ye Olde Rose & Crown Theatre Pub on Hoe Street in Walthamstow over the August Bank Holiday weekend, as part of their Stow-a-thon.
It is a free 24-hour music festival, which this year is raising money for two charities: Medical Aid for Palestinians and Safe Space Waltham Forest. I will be doing my electronica ghost stories at the suitably spooky time of 1.30am during the early witching hours of Monday morning.
I’d best get rehearsing …
