June’s Catalyst was a huge amount of fun! We had two beautiful songs from Jane Bom-Bane, a talk from author Dan Richards about our relationship to the night; Charlotte Ellis set the story straight about accusations from the British press that her granny had once been the lover of a Gestapo officer (and a traitor to the cause), and former creative director of The Guinness Book of Records, Adam Chase, shared the history of what remains the third best-selling book in the world (after the Bible and Koran) and revealed and some of its ‘eye-popping’ weirdest records. And then there was a world-record breaking attempt for the fastest time to eat a Ferrero Rocher without the use of the hands and leaving the wrapper intact. Did they manage it? Not saying. You had to be there.
We’re back July 10th with marine conservationist Elissa Phillips, Sam Finkle and Jim Burke (a.k.a. Mr B. the Gentleman Rhymer).
