Goodbye Music at St Giles and hello Live at St Giles!

LIVE AT ST GILES is bringing live music and performance to Camberwell’s most beautiful venue.

The majestic Neo-Gothic architecture of this grade 2* listed church provides a captivating backdrop for classical and contemporary live music, dramatic opera, live silent films, and the now infamous ORGANOKE.

Launched in 2016 as MUSIC AT ST GILES, and relaunching in 2024 as LIVE AT ST GILES, we continue to take this spiritual space beyond its religious roots to unveil its true potential as a dynamic cultural and performance venue for the whole community.

We are also the team behind The Camberwell Ceilidh Club.

There is nothing lovelier than filling the church with locals on a December night and settling down to the Muppets Christmas Carol whilst the scent of mulled wine in the air.
Thanks to everyone who joined us.
The sound may not have been perfect (vaulted churches and all…!) but the atmosphere certainly was!

We are looking at alternative ways to show films in the new year (Such as headphones for that surround sound)
We are also keen to know what kinds of films you would like to see in this space in 2024.
Send us your thoughts!
…we are thinking of Aretha Franklins AMAZING GRACE for one…

FAMILY FILM NIGHT: THE Muppet Christmas Carol
Saturday, December 16, 2023
7:00 PM -9:30 PM
St Giles’ Church
🎄
What could be more fun than a Christmas film? In church with a bar, mulled wine and popcorn?

Music At St Giles presents: The Muppet Christmas Carol captures everything you might want from a Christmas movie. It’s got all your favourite muppets. It’s got Miss Piggy in a bonnet. And to top it all, Michael Caine in arguably his best ever acting role (let’s not talk about his singing).

Get festive with mulled wine, mince pies and a some Christmas cheer without a hint of Bah Humbug!

“A Muppet satire that sets expectations high (The Great Gonzo, for instance, plays Dickens himself). It’s a surprisingly faithful adaptation of Dickens. It’s funny when it needs to be funny, sentimental when it needs to be sentimental, scary when it needs to be scary, and joyous throughout” (The New Beverley)

Tickets on sale now.

We have a NO BOOKING FEE policy for all MASG events. NO HIDDEN EXTRAS.

Good luck to our dear friend and partner in (musical) crime and organist Ashley Valentine AKA "The Talented Mr Valentine", as he embarks on an adventure to Ukraine for a week-long stint at summer school teaching displaced children in the city of Lviv. 

He will be teaching piano, singing and also lead some hopefully fun musical games and activities. He'd also really like to take some music books along as presents (as many as he can carry, and all surplus funds will go directly to this amazing charity: makeitpossibleua.org

Those of us who know Ashley are aware of his enormous talent as a musician and teacher, and his equally large heart.

We wish him a safe and exciting trip...with a bag full of music to share with the kids.

If you would like to support please head to the link in our bio or our ints stories highlights.

Today we popped into the wonderful   to say hello to Chris and Tim and we left with this stunning signed print by  as a memento of our first ever collaboration together back in May:When .adamczewski and full band performed Adventures in Limbo in it’s entirety, in a church, for the last time… with support from the sublime  Live at St Giles
We left the store with not only a stunning print but the seed of an idea for a longer-term collaboration and more! WATCH THIS SPACE!
In the meantime head down to Camberwell New Road to check out this brilliant record store and their live gigs. It's a gem!

Mr Valentine Presents: A Silent Film double bill with live Organ. Ménilmontant & Sherlock Jr.

Sunday, June 11, 2023
7:30 PM 10:30 PM

Join Mr Valentine AKA Ashley for a double bill, with one to make you laugh and the other to make you cry!

There's laugh-out-loud comedy and hair-raising stunts galore with Buster Keaton in Sherlock Jr (1924 / U / 45 mins). And in Ménilmontant (1926 / PG / 38 mins) all of your heart strings will be pulled in this emotive, impressionist masterpiece. Both films will feature live accompaniment on piano & organ by Ashley Valentine.

Named after a suburb of Paris where it is set, Ménilmontant opens with a frenzied attack worthy of Hitchcock and follows the story of two girls that are forced to fend for themselves in the narrow, cobbled streets of the district. A story of sisterly-love, seduction and betrayal, this rarely-screened film uses stunning, experimental camera and editing techniques for the time and has been rightly described as an 'impressionist masterpiece'.

Ménilmontant is a beautiful French Impressionist film from 1926. Luckily since it’s a silent film, you won’t need subtitiles but Ashley will be improvising on the Organ.

After the interval, Sherlock Jr. is one of Buster Keaton’s finest comedies, again with accompaniment on the piano from Mr Valentine.

Released 99 years ago, Buster Keaton plays a film projectionist framed for a crime that he didn't commit in Sherlock Jr. His only hope is to use his amateur detective skills - and to perform the most daring stunts imaginable! This film will make you ask 'how did they do that before CGI?' and leave you crying with laughter at the same time.

There will be a licensed bar with a wide range of drinks and pop corn for sale.

Tickets on Sale now: £10 / £7 FOSG members and concessions.
