Wednesday October 9th: Dylan Jones in Conversation with Ludovic Hunter-Tilney.

Event date 9 October 2019 08:00 – 09:30

Location The Court, 9 Kingley Street, Soho, London

Our Talk.

Come and meet author and GQ Editor in Chief, Dylan Jones in conversation with Ludovic Hunter-Tilney of the FT about his latest book "The Witchita Lineman" – Searching in the Sun for the World's Greatest Unfinished Song.

"It might seem hubristic to write a book about one song, no matter how good it is, but Dylan Jones’s lively and revelatory study of Jimmy Webb’s impossibly moving ballad Wichita Lineman amply justifies its existence.

Made popular by Glen Campbell, the song was recorded in an unfinished form, but, as Jones authoritatively explores its creation, reception and near-mythic aftermath, one understands why none other than Bob Dylan referred to it as the greatest song ever written." – The Guardian.

Our Venue.

Located in Soho, the vibrant heart of London, step off of Kingly Street, away from the bustle, and enter The Court.

The Court is a private members club that values people with a story to tell. They take the club experience back to a time when people were valued as individuals and not just another customer, providing a truly personal experience. In order to do this they have brought together the very best partners the industry can offer to make every visit truly unique.

Our club combines the elegance and speakeasy charm, so beloved in the 20’s, with the style and atmosphere of the live music venues Soho is renowned for. There truly is nothing else like it.
