Best known as once being home to Chris Evans’ TFI Friday show and The Old Grey Whistle Test, the Hammersmith-located Riverside Studios is now reinventing itself as a multi-functional 400-seater arts and music venue. This weekend it plays host to a short series of summer gigs under the banner of Tunes In June, curated and performed by Sardinian singer and theatre director Filomena Campus, who opened this mini-fest yesterday with her own band featuring guests singer Cleveland Watkiss and neo-flamenco guitarist Antonio Forcione. He headlines with his own band tonight with his effortless guitar virtuosity slipping through myriad pan-global influences with his popular band. Tomorrow, Saturday 20 June, sees a head spinning combination of top notch free improv and dance performed by iconic UK saxophonist Evan Parker who will be joined by stalwarts of the London improv scene keyboardist Pat Thomas, drummer Mark Sanders and bass virtuoso John Edwards – all combining with live modern dance in a dazzling combination of sound and movement. All highly appropriate as things culminate in a party on the Riverside’s terrace, celebrating the summer solstice at midnight.
