The Library of Obscure Wonders

In July 2023, as part of Raft Festival at the Horse Hospital, The Library of Obscure Wonders presented Lost Wild Roses, a night of seductive mystery, cunning tales and bemusing music, exploring secrets, stories and songs from hidden London.

Artists included:

Rude Mechanicals (as a quartet with saw and cello) – the strangely disturbed world of Miss Roberts

Estelle Riviere and her Cavorting Monsters

Paul McGill as Dylan Dog: Nightmare Investigator – spoken word

MJ Ultra – Liminal and uncanny soundscapes

Jill Rock on William Blake

Mervyn Syna – cheerful ranting
