2pm – dial8 at Thirteen presents a talk on music and photography called ‘The Art of Making the Moment’ at No. 1-3 Denmark Street
We’ve all witnessed it – the moment a star is born. We’ve seen it live, but we’ve also noticed it through a photographic lens and most importantly a photographic language – that resonates, captures and marks it in history without question. From Freddie Mercury at Wembley to The Rolling Stones’ Beggars Banquet or Yungblud walking across the audience. Join us for a fireside conversation with culture and lifestyle photographer Brennan Bucannan and British photographer, award winning writer and director Mitch Jenkins - as they peel back subculture and the art of making the moment. Moderated by creative director, writer and author of the acclaimed book ‘Nothin’ But A Good Time: The Spectacular Rise and Fall of Glam Metal’ – Justin Quirk.

3pm - Beautifully Romanticised Accidentally Traumatized present 'Talking Artistry' a music management panel
For more than a century, Denmark Street has been at the heart of London’s music scene. Once known as ‘Tin Pan Alley’, the street has been home to publishers, studios, musicians, managers, and some of the biggest names in British music history. Denmark Street Sessions brings that legacy into the Bratcave (20 Denmark Street), creating a space for the next generation to get an inside look at how the music business really works. With the UK music industry supporting 220,000 jobs and contributing £8 billion to the economy, there’s plenty to learn beyond the stage. The first session brings together Sam Cantlon and Emilia Owczarek from NIEVE ELLA’s management for an open conversation about building a music career, navigating the industry and finding opportunities. You don’t need to work in music to be part of the conversation… come along, ask questions, listen in, or simply find out more about what goes on behind the music.
330pm – Roland presents Henri Herbert playing the bones in the store at No. 10-11 Denmark Street.
