Performance
Matthew Herbert's Edible Sound
Yes, those are tortillas shaped like records. And yes, you can play (and eat) them. As part of a King’s College project exploring the ethics of food production, experimental musician Herbert has recorded the sound of ingredients (don’t ask us how) and had them etched on to edible ‘records’. Hear them in this one-off performance. The Guy's Chapel. London Bridge. Wed Mar 16, 7.30pm. Booking essential.
Ritual
The Druid Order Spring Equinox Ceremony
Watch a Druid ceremony to acknowledge the time of equal day and night and welcome Ceridwen, the Earth Mother, carrying the seeds for this year’s activity and growth. All followed by a talk, meditation and call for peace. Tower Hill Terrace. Tower Hill. Sun Mar 20, noon.
