Hinds play Lafayette on September 13 [Dario Vazquez]

CAMDEN Cult Cinema is giving audiences the chance to evoke a little of the feeling of being at Talking Heads’ 1983 Stop Making Sense tour, with a 40th anniversary immersive stand-up screening at The Vanguard on Oct 17. Combining a concert-style audio setup and standing audience to encourage a gig-style atmosphere with cinema staples of popcorn and hotdogs, the screening is part of a series of music-related films to be shown at the old Horse Hospital in Camden Stables Market. Running from Sept 18, the series features the stories and key moments of artists including Amy Winehouse – Back To Black (Sept 18); Aretha Franklin – Amazing Grace (Sept 19); and the many incredible musicians featured in Questlove’s Summer of Soul (Sept 25).

• Autumn may be approaching but that doesn’t mean the festivals are over. York Rise Street Party returns on Sunday (Sept 8) with music, film, theatre, food, cabaret, circus and so much more. Set across a number of stages and stall along York Rise and Dartmouth Park Road, expect music from Seami with Ashii, The Overproofs, The Estimators, pianist Maddy Carty, the Dartmouth Park Collective, John Etheridge with Vilma Rowe, poet John Hegley no doubt accompanied by his ukulele, plus Smell Funky Beast and more. Sing-a-long to the blockbusters at the Garden Cinema and get those lungs ready for Massaoke / Rock Star Weekender. No street party is complete without some serious beats and a daytime rave courtesy of DJ sets from The Dig It Sound System, Pete Herbert, Neil Thornton, Travis Collins, Damian Williams and Stuart Langley. Be ready!
