The Lock In x Starling, Saturday 5 December 2026

One night on the Thames, with Starling singing live.

10 people, lying down, in my front room on the water. Candles lit, phones away, the river outside doing what it does.

When and where

Saturday 5 December 2026. Meet 6.30pm, starts 7pm, ends 9.30pm.

Half Mile, a floating home at Taggs Island, Hampton. I will email you directions once you have booked.

How the evening runs

We open with Dr Gemstone for 20 minutes. She is my comedic higher self, part intuitive, part grounded truth teller. She gets a room laughing before it goes quiet, which is usually what lets people properly drop in.

Then an hour of layered sound and a guided meditation, so that by the time Starling sings you have properly arrived rather than just turned up.

Then Starling. Then a Q and A, which is usually where the real conversation happens.

The jewellery is laid out at the end, with nobody under any pressure to buy.

Who Starling is

A London musician whose sound she calls pop therapy. She has been a BBC Radio 1 New Noise artist, an Amazon Music UK Weekly One choice, and has had music on more than 18 Spotify New Music Friday playlists and on the covers of Wonderland, Fault and The Guardian. Last year she played 35 house concerts across 4,000 miles because she wanted to bring the connection offline. This is one of those rooms.

The two tickets

Standard, £65. Your place for the evening.

VIP, £95. Your place, plus a goody bag built around the Starling signature phrase necklace, which I make by hand and which sells at £120 on its own.

Anything else

Wear what you would be comfortable lying down in. No experience of any of this is needed, and you do not need to know Starling's music to come.
