Featuring Artists in residence Renell Shaw, GBSR Duo and Olivia Chaney, Composer in Focus Steve Martland, and a host of exciting performers new and familiar, Memory Unwrapped will explore the extraordinary power of music to stir innermost recollections, to preserve history and to honour the unforgettable – from vibrant stories rooted in the venue’s home of King’s Cross to tributes to the greats of spoken word and song.
