In the shadow of the WiSH mansion stands the WiSH shed. The rest of the world stands in the shadow of the WiSH shed. This winter we have been in that shed with our chemistry set working on a formula. We have added a mystery ingredient - mystery. What is going to happen? Where will it happen? How big will it be? Will I need a hard hat? In 2010 WiSH has become a travelling circus of shape-shifting nomads. As we step from the freezing Serpentine in our speedos and catch our reflection in a passing mirror man, we realise that size isn't everything. Good things come in all shapes and sizes. Now, so do we.

Epic WiSH
This will be called Zoetrope and there will be 3 of these in 2010. Feel free to supersize as we bring you all the fun of WiSH but bigger and therefore better. More rooms, more DJs, more toilets, and more space for you to lie back and stretch out your sack.
First date: Easter Sunday 4th April

French WiSH
For this we will hop the channel to play with our new
friends in Paris.
First date: Saturday 1st May

Homespun WiSH
This will be at Gramaphone. Our friendly fave.
First date: Saturday 29th May

So join us as, like the inestimable Spandau Ballet, as we buy a ticket to the world.

Dear friends, please join us on a trip through time to an unspecified point in the Victorian era. The air quality is poor as fires and gas-lamps light and warm London. To the east Jack is ripping. In Fleet Street Sweeney Todd is slipping Mrs.Lovett a bit of dodgy meat. The air may be poor but it is also full of heady ideas brought back from the east by travellers. Madame Blavatsky, Gurdjieff, The Hermetic Order Of The Golden Dawn and the spiritualists are also active. Houdini is on his way.

We have heard tell of a secret society with links to Peter Ackroyd's mystic Londoners - Dr. Dee, William Blake, the druids on Primrose Hill; the gypsies and cunning folk of the English countryside. After many years following clues, rumours and lies we find ourselves in the shadow of London Bridge. It is dark but both the bridge and the river below are a throbbing mass of humanity. We knock upon a heavy wooden door, whisper some words and slip within. We are inside the ZOETROPE...
