Summer Party

Saturday July 12th, 2025
From 6.30-11pm

Please come and party with us before we start to wind down for the Summer.  There will be music from duo Rey Yusuf & Victoria Couper, stencil-making with Paris68 Redux, a Blackjack table, complimentary vegan supper, cocktails and dancing.

Rey Yusuf's credits include award-winning contemporary folk band Tell Tale Tusk, dream-folk band Something Sleeps and samba band Pocket Bloco. Victoria Couper is a founding member of a cappella trio Voice, and sings with world-jazz ensemble Grand Union Orchestra and early music groups Joglaresa and Musica Secreta.

The pair, who met singing with Greek Epic-inspired band Daemonia Nymphe, have spent many years improvising and exploring together. They will be sharing their new collaboration, delving into folk, world, and early music, alongside their own compositions. Expect ukulele (you know you love it!), harpsicle (small lever harp, not strange new harp-shaped popsicle), percussion, and voices. Your participation will be welcomed and encouraged.

Blackjack, a development of the 18th century game Twenty-one, is the world's most widely played casino banking game. It was first referenced by Miguel de Cervantes in a tale about the card cheats of Seville. Do familiarise yourself with the rules ahead of time if you'd like to improve your chances of winning. Chips won at the Blackjack table will be exchangeable for Kairos credits, drinks from the bar or tickets to future events.

We'll also have Michael Collins here from Paris68 Redux who has created a stencil of our logo. This is a chance to make your own limited edition Kairos T-shirt, bag or patch. Bring a light-coloured tee, totebag or fabric, Michael will supply the ink and the knowhow.

84 Tottenham Court Road, London W1T 4TG

Tickets: Free for Kairos members and former speakers, £5 Non-members, £10 Supporters. Pay bar, food complimentary.
