To mark the closing of Old Paradise Yard and the end of Iklectik’s current ‘sonic chapter’, the venue have commissioned a number of friends and supporting organisations to curate a series of final events to see their current home (a former Buddhist monastery and Lambeth’s oldest surviving school building) out in style. Howlround are delighted to be back with regular collaborators Psyché Tropes and Pascal Savy, recreating our audiovisual performance from last summer’s BONE x IKLECTIK festival in Barcelona – and we’ve managed to put together a pretty amazing supporting line up too, including fellow Barcelona stalwart Dali De Saint Paul and the ever-brilliant Kate Carr, plus lots more. Tickets are available here, so do come along and help us see the old place off in style!

Of course our event is just one of several ‘takeovers’ from some of the venue’s many friends and supporters, occurring over the space of ten days and culminating in a huge closing party on Saturday 20th. After that Iklectik enters a new phase which of course will chiefly consist of finding a new home. They’ll be needing all of our support in this new chapter and you can keep up to date with the latest developments and find out how you can help by visiting iklectik.org/saveiklectik. For now, it will be a sad farewell to Old Paradise yard – which looks set to be torn down and replaced with more shiny office blocks/luxury apartments that nobody actually needs/can afford (even though the powers that be don’t actually have planning permission yet!) – but hopefully paradise can be born again, somewhere new. For now let’s just celebrate the great times we’ve had together and look forward to the future. See you there!
