THIS WEEK IN CULTURE + THE CULTURE BUSINESS
Today in London: Sunday 17 March 2013

TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Freeze!, The Invisible Dot, 17
Charlie Brooker’s ‘Wipe’ laureate, long-term TW favourite and former ThreeWeeks cover star, the lyrical Tim Key, and his ‘Cowards’ co-hort Tom Basden reinstate their “ritualistic” comic collaboration (Freeze!) to celebrate The Invisible Dot’s fourth birthday. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S FILM CHOICES
Spirit Of 45 + Ken Loach Q&A, Curzon Cinemas, 17 Mar
Director Ken Loach takes questions (via satellite) on his archive-looting new British societal doc ‘Spirit Of 45’… after a showing of the film itself, that is. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S MUSIC CHOICES
Billy Bragg, Rough Trade East, 17 Mar (pictured)
Never-shy singer-songwriter Billy Bragg releases his overtly personal (as opposed to political) new solo LP ‘Tooth & Nail’ this week, and as such will be playing in-store with his band to make us all aware of that very fact. Free wristbands are available to a) all those buying the album, and/or b) presenting themselves at RTE early. Details here.
