We're hosting a new series of Sunday brunch sessions at Spiritland exploring the vast world of classical music.

Maybe you like your eggs served with Beethoven’s Egmont Overture? How about Max Richter with a maximum-strength Americano, Purcell with your Pancakes or Brahms with your Bloody Mary?

Georgia Mann and Rob Winter return to Spiritland with a new series: Classical Brunch. They’re soundtracking your Sunday brunch with an eclectic classical mix, which will perfectly complement a specially designed Brunch menu here at Spiritland.

Georgia and Rob provide musical options for the classically curious. Georgia presents BBC Radio 3’s most listened to show, Essential Classics, regularly reaching more than a million people a week. Rob is a sound engineer, mixing everything from the BBC Proms to Paul Weller albums.

Between them Georgia and Rob have worked on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row, engineered coverage of the late Queen’s funeral from Westminster Abbey, presented documentaries about Beethoven’s health and Rachmaninov’s hypnosis, and crucially, mixed the Hey Duggee Christmas single.

The Classical DJ project came into being at Idler Festival, with a classical set in a 17th century orchard, and progressed to Glastonbury where they’ve played three times. They’ve also appeared at Bristol Beacon as part of the Bristol BBC Proms. Come and enjoy brunch while Georgia and Rob play a Classical DJ set and offer insights into the people and places which gave us some of the most enduring music of all time.

The brunch is a ticketed event. Your ticket gets you admission for the session and one brunch dish from the below. Additional food, drinks and service charge will be added on the afternoon.

Neil Eakapong aka Bangkok Delivery Boy is a Thai chef rooted in heritage and tradition. He trained at Som Saa in Spitalfields, The Begging Bowl in Peckham, and with Thai culinary masters in Thailand, before running his own small place at Heist Market in St. Leonards-on-Sea, alongside pop-ups, collaborations, and supper clubs.

Rosie T in the place to be! Having been brought up on soul, folk, funk and reggae in her early years, DJ Rosie-T, aka Timna Rose, has spent her entire adult life, dancing, prancing and forging deep rooted friendships on dancefloors around the world - following the inception of Acid House, Balearic Beats, through the diverse realms of Electronica and beyond. These musical connections evolved and expanded way beyond the backdrop of the clubs, parties, fields and festivals where they were conceived; perhaps inevitably, leading to her unintentional DJ career!

She started sharing her eclectic musical taste with party goers over 15 years ago, as she was repeatedly asked to play at private house parties. Word spread of the diverse, broad spectrum party vibes she created, along with the infectious positive energy she brought to all her gigs and she was soon being booked for many small intimate events and venues throughout London and beyond.

As a foundational member of the infamous G Spot Party crew, with their hedonistic, underground parties leading to regular stages at the Secret Garden Party festival, amongst other one off venues around the UK, her music helped to galvanize a heady mix of multi generational, dedicated recruits; loving the free spirited party vibes they created.

With her deep love for music and an ability to connect with audiences - more recently joining forces with the Brighter Days Family at their sell out residency at NTs loft - DJ Rosie T continues to enchant and energise partygoers wherever she plays.

Two legends return to Spiritland for another Saturday session.

Playing an explosive mix of Jazz, Latin, Soul and contemporary dance music to discerning crowds across the planet, Paul Murphy has been deejaying since the late ‘70s. His musical journey has wound its way through residencies at celebrated London clubs The Wag, The Electric Ballroom (where he founded the now famous Jazz Room), The 100 Club and Hoxton Square’s Blue Note, via performances alongside the likes of Tito Puente & Celia Cruz, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, Jimmy McGriff and Lonnie Smith. Paul was featured on the Whistle Test BBC show about the Wag club in 1984. Paul Murphy was also the first WIRE Magazine DJ of the Year in 1985.

Somehow, amidst all of this, Paul also found the time to run a successful Clerkenwell record shop and manage Palladin Records (1984 - 1986), overseeing the release of the politically inspired Venceremos, by London based Jazz-Dance collective Working Week.

Gilles Peterson once stated, “Paul Murphy found almost every jazz dance classic". He has several compilations under his belt including Jazz Club Volumes 1 & 2 and two volumes of "The Jazz Room" on BBE. His own Jazz Room record label imprint is up to 40 releases spanning classic Jazz..nu jazz and latin… get involved.

We continue to celebrate the UK premiere of 'A Century in Sound' documentary, with a discussion between director Nick Dwyer and the Japanese electronic artist Izumi ‘Mimi’ Kobayashi.

Izumi “Mimi” Kobayashi is a Japanese composer, pianist, and producer known for her irrepressible, genre-blending approach to music. Emerging in the late 1970s, she became one of Japan’s leading jazz-funk keyboardists, fusing Latin rhythms, electronic experimentation, and pop sensibilities into a distinctive sound.

Early releases with her Flying Mimi Band and solo albums like 'Coconuts High' established her as an inventive force, while her fascination with new technology led her to pioneer the use of drum machines in anime soundtracks and compose widely recognised TV themes.

We're playing her album 'Choice Cuts 1978 - 1983' in full, plus there's a DJ set from Mari* from Gondwana Records

Tickets available via Resident Advisor.

6pm - welcome drinks
7pm - talk and playback
