Short Circuit FestivalRather than a series dedicated to the 1986 film starring Steve Guttenberg about a malfunctioning robot that comes alive, the Roundhouse's Short Circuit festival is an exploration of electronica carried out over one long weekend in May. As well as performances in the Main Space, there are screenings, talks, workshops, installations and collaborations throughout this four-day, cutting-edge electro music appreciation. Gigs feature the legend of electronica Holger Czukay, A Taste Of Sonar (dedicated to the famous festival in Barcelona and including artists such as Jeff Mills), Touch (presenting some of the most influential composers of the experimental scene) and The Radiophonic Workshop (the BBC pioneers behind classic theme tunes such as Doctor Who and Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy). For brief information on the programme see below but check www.roundhouse.org.uk for full details.

About Roundhouse

It's great to see this fabulous arts venue re-open its doors after a stunning refurbishment. Boasting a colourful history, the Roundhouse initially started life as an engine shed. It was later transformed into a bonded warehouse for Gilbey's Gin before Arnold Wesker the playwright came along in 1964 and established Centre 42 here, insisting it became one of the most cutting-edge performing arts venue in the country.
