Where many aspects of the music industry are facing major uncertainties, audiences are still buying tickets and crowding bars to experience the performers they love.

On this episode, two people that are helping to nudge London’s music scene forward.

Paul Noble is the creative director at Spiritland, a café, bar and radio studio at King’s Cross that has become a beacon for music lovers for its hi-spec sound systems and a programme of DJs and events that can only come from a true aficionado.

The Southbank Centre is the UK’s largest arts centre, comprising several music venues, galleries, libraries and other arts spaces – and Bengi has been shaping its contemporary music offering since taking her post in 2016.
