Set in 1980, it’s a story of first love between Ludwig and Janus, told against the backdrop of communist Poland as the regime starts to crumble. Tomasz describes themes of learning to be yourself, becoming an adult and of friendship in a country where love, class and politics do not exist in isolation. The communist party looms large in this story, impacting both professional and personal relationships. Dua and Tomasz reflect on what might have been if their parents had not made the choices they did. Tomasz asks what life would have been like for a young gay man in Warsaw in his parents’ generation and Dua imagines growing up in Kosovo under the shadow of war. It’s an intimate and beautiful conversation that illuminates a turbulent period of recent history that many people today know little about. -->LISTEN NOW ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/gkupv428get5hlw29z5crh8owd7lximhovv2m/l2hehmhl7rzwzxc6/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2VwaXNvZGUvMnJLcjNaTDNkY3d0TmxqTDFDVm9uUw== ) LISTEN NOW ( https://open.spotify.com/episode/2rKr3ZL3dcwtNljL1CVonS ) ​ ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/gkupv428get5hlw29z5crh8owd7lximhovv2m/e0hph7h7o4252xc8/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zZXJ2aWNlOTUv ) ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/gkupv428get5hlw29z5crh8owd7lximhovv2m/owhkhqhwdo758ksv/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vYy9zZXJ2aWNlOTU= ) ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/gkupv428get5hlw29z5crh8owd7lximhovv2m/p8heh9h4oxl87dfq/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS8= ) ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/gkupv428get5hlw29z5crh8owd7lximhovv2m/x0hph6he03lx7df5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGlua2VkaW4uY29tL2NvbXBhbnkvc2VydmljZTk1 ) ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/gkupv428get5hlw29z5crh8owd7lximhovv2m/6qheh8hleod02dco/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGlrdG9rLmNvbS9Ac2VydmljZTk1 ) -->VIEW IN BROWSER ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/gkupv428get5hlw29z5crh8owd7lximhovv2m/p8heh9h4oxl87dfq/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS8= ) VIEW IN BROWSER ( https://www.service95.com/ ) -->PRIVACY POLICY ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/gkupv428get5hlw29z5crh8owd7lximhovv2m/kkhmh6hnvm3499bl/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS9wcml2YWN5LXBvbGljeS8= ) PRIVACY POLICY ( https://www.service95.com/privacy-policy/ ) -->INVITE A FRIEND ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/gkupv428get5hlw29z5crh8owd7lximhovv2m/58hvh7hg27zl95u6/bWFpbHRvOj9zdWJqZWN0PUNoZWNrJTIwb3V0JTIwdGhpcyUyMGVtYWlsJTIwZnJvbSUyMFNlcnZpY2U5NSZib2R5PUklMjB0aG91Z2h0JTIweW91JTI3ZCUyMGVuam95JTIwdGhpcyUyMGVtYWlsJTIwZnJvbSUyMFNlcnZpY2U5NSUyMCU3QiU3QiUyMGFyY2hpdmVfdXJsJTIwJTdEJTdE ) INVITE A FRIEND ( mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20this%20email%20from%20Service95&body=I%20thought%20you'd%20enjoy%20this%20email%20from%20Service95%20%7B%7B%20archive_url%20%7D%7D ) 8th Floor, 6 New Street Square, London, EC4A 3AQ​ ​ ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/gkupv428get5hlw29z5crh8owd7lximhovv2m/e0horqvos7h7o425n0c8/aHR0cHM6Ly9zZXJ2aWNlOTUuY29tL3RoYW5rLXlvdQ== )Don’t want to receive emails from the Service95 Book Club?

Her stories are small gems: deceptively short, but they carry the heft of a great novel. This will take you less than an hour to read – but you’ll want to start again the moment you finish. ​ What can you expect from So Late In The Day? So Late In The Day opens with an unremarkable man, Cathal, on a seemingly uneventful day in Dublin, Friday 29 July. But something is off. He’s distracted at work, his colleagues are being nice to him, he’s trying to avoid them. We soon realise that this is not the day Cathal had planned. Small clues are dropped, the date being one of them: 29 July is the anniversary of the doomed marriage between Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. At the centre of the book is Cathal’s relationship with Sabine, his French girlfriend. With her trademark precision, Claire slowly reveals the small cuts Cathal unthinkingly delivers to their future together. He lacks a generosity of spirit. He makes mental notes about women’s weight. He kills every potentially romantic moment. Cathal is no monster. You won’t find him lurking in the manosphere, and that’s exactly the point. His is a more mundane form of inherited misogyny that sucks the joy out of his relationship with Sabine and ultimately diminishes him, too. I read So Late In The Day as a kind of parable about lazy misogyny. It’s a lesson in what you risk losing if you can’t bring yourself to change. Claire delivers this without melodrama or judgment and with endless grace. You’ll want to read this book at least twice to see how she does it. You’ll love it if you enjoyed...

As you may have seen in last week’s announcement, this month I’ve chosen something a little different for our Monthly Read. Introducing our very first play: the wild and utterly captivating Jerusalem ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/zlu5o69d7kunhkxd9rwbphwg99px9b6h9443m/58hvh7hgxr68geu6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS9ib29rcy9qZXJ1c2FsZW0tMg== ) by Jez Butterworth. Set in rural England, the play takes its title from William Blake’s classic poem of the same name, flipping the idyllic depiction of a “green and pleasant land” on its head with an anarchic cast – led by the one and only Johnny ‘Rooster’ Byron. If you’ve never read a play before, consider this your perfect entry point. It has all the pull of a great novel, with even more space for imagination as you’re transported into the weird and wonderful world Jez creates, where every character feels unruly and unforgettable. Beyond my interview with Jez (which you can watch here ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/zlu5o69d7kunhkxd9rwbphwg99px9b6h9443m/25h2hoh39kmz4rs3/aHR0cHM6Ly9zZXJ2aWNlOTUuY29tL2R1YS1saXBhLWplei1idXR0ZXJ3b3J0aC1ib29rLWNsdWItaW50ZXJ2aWV3 )), we’ve gone deeper into the world of Jerusalem. Jez shares the books and films ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/zlu5o69d7kunhkxd9rwbphwg99px9b6h9443m/qvh8h7hdw9k5o7il/aHR0cHM6Ly9zZXJ2aWNlOTUuY29tL2plei1idXR0ZXJ3b3J0aC1ib29rLWZpbG0tdGVsZXZpc2lvbi1yZWNvbW1lbmRhdGlvbnM= ) that shaped the play, along with a playlist ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/zlu5o69d7kunhkxd9rwbphwg99px9b6h9443m/9qhzhnhdwo5mzxt9/aHR0cHM6Ly9zZXJ2aWNlOTUuY29tL2plei1idXR0ZXJ3b3J0aC1wbGF5bGlzdA== ) of what he was listening to while writing it. We also have a brilliant interview with actor Charlotte Mills ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/zlu5o69d7kunhkxd9rwbphwg99px9b6h9443m/3ohphkh3mepl49ur/aHR0cHM6Ly9zZXJ2aWNlOTUuY29tL2NoYXJsb3R0ZS1taWxscy1vbi1qZXJ1c2FsZW0= ), who played Tanya in the original cast alongside Mark Rylance and Mackenzie Crook. She reflects on what it was like to be part of something so electric: rehearsals full of improvisation, where the script was constantly reinvented; and a cast of such talent that time spent onstage felt like magic. Plus, we dig into the real-life inspirations ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/zlu5o69d7kunhkxd9rwbphwg99px9b6h9443m/n2hohvhvqz7p6ka6/aHR0cHM6Ly9zZXJ2aWNlOTUuY29tL3JlYWwtcGVvcGxlLWJlaGluZC1pY29uaWMtdGhlYXRyZS1jaGFyYWN0ZXJz ) behind some of theatre’s most iconic characters. There’s plenty more to discover, too. I’ll let you dive in and explore!

They explore the real-life characters who inspired its iconic antihero and the themes of defiance, belonging and exclusion at its core. Plus, they dive into Jez’s instinct-led creative process, the ideas that shaped the play over decades and why its pull still endures today.

I can’t believe we’re already in the fourth month of 2026. As always, time feels like it’s flying and with it, spring in the northern hemisphere is starting to come into view.

If you have never read a script before, I hope this is the one that changes that. Watching theatre is a pleasure. Reading a play is another. You become the production, filling the silence between lines with your own imagination. I first read Jerusalem at 15, studying for my English GCSEs, and Johnny ‘Rooster’ Byron has stayed with me ever since. When I finally saw legendary actor Mark Rylance perform the role onstage in 2022, it was everything I had imagined. Now, I want you to have that experience. What can you expect from Jerusalem? From the very first page, Rooster is mixing himself a hangover smoothie of sour milk, eggs, vodka and… speed. He's a former daredevil now living in a caravan in the English countryside, spending his days dispensing booze, drugs and tall stories to local teenagers. He’s also been served an eviction notice for unauthorised encampment. It’s not his first warning, but it feels like it might be his last. Jez gives you a man who could easily feel alienating – and then makes you love him. Beneath all the chaos and comedy (and there is real comedy here) is something sadder. Rooster is a dying breed: a wild and independent spirit utterly out of step with box-ticking officials and small-town England. The setting may appear far from your own experience, but the feelings at its centre may not. What I love most about Jerusalem, and why I’ve chosen it as our first play, is how alive it is on the page as well as the stage. One moment you’re deep in English folklore: giants, fairies, ancient drums. The next, someone is arguing about Girls Aloud (if you don’t know, get to know!). It is funny, it is tragic and it is the best possible reminder that reading plays is not only for school. You’ll love it if you enjoyed... The Ferryman by Jez Butterworth Fleabag: The Scriptures by Phoebe Waller-Bridge Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl Lanny by Max Porter The Wake by Paul Kingsnorth Over to you... The dialogue in this play is so absorbing, you’ll likely read it in a single sitting (I always do).

It is the kind of statistic that lands heavily and then slips quickly into abstraction,” writes reporter Rachel Hagan, who’s just left Iran. “But across the world – from Lebanon’s shattered border villages to South Sudan and Bangladesh – people are not simply fleeing once. They are being displaced again and again, each time with fewer options, less money and a diminishing sense that there is anywhere left to go.” ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/p9u29o65dmt9h26nl0ntqhp0r5rg4irh2oogn/l2hehmhl26k0rnb6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS9sZWdhY3ktb2YtZGlzcGxhY2VtZW50LWlyYW4tbGViYW5vbg== )​ -->READ MORE → ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/p9u29o65dmt9h26nl0ntqhp0r5rg4irh2oogn/l2hehmhl26k0rnb6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS9sZWdhY3ktb2YtZGlzcGxhY2VtZW50LWlyYW4tbGViYW5vbg== ) READ MORE → ( https://www.service95.com/legacy-of-displacement-iran-lebanon ) ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/p9u29o65dmt9h26nl0ntqhp0r5rg4irh2oogn/m2h7h5h35mnge9sm/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2VwaXNvZGUvNkNyQXg1UktRV2FCOG1TU29NUG5ndg== ) ON THE PODCAST ​From The Archives: Dua & Author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Explore Half Of A Yellow Sun ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/p9u29o65dmt9h26nl0ntqhp0r5rg4irh2oogn/m2h7h5h35mnge9sm/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2VwaXNvZGUvNkNyQXg1UktRV2FCOG1TU29NUG5ndg== )​ ----------------------------------------------------------------- BY TEAM SERVICE95 ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/p9u29o65dmt9h26nl0ntqhp0r5rg4irh2oogn/dpheh0he68745wfm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS83Mi1ob3Vycy1pbi1ob25nLWtvbmc= ) TRAVEL ​72 Hours In Hong Kong: Where To Eat, Explore & Make The Most Of Art Basel This Weekend ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/p9u29o65dmt9h26nl0ntqhp0r5rg4irh2oogn/dpheh0he68745wfm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS83Mi1ob3Vycy1pbi1ob25nLWtvbmc= )​ ----------------------------------------------------------------- BY JANICE LEUNG HAYES ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/p9u29o65dmt9h26nl0ntqhp0r5rg4irh2oogn/reh8hohmdw52wpf2/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS93b21lbi1pbi1kYW5jZS1tdXNpYw== ) CULTURE ​4 DJs On Life As A Woman In Dance Music – And What Needs To Change ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/p9u29o65dmt9h26nl0ntqhp0r5rg4irh2oogn/reh8hohmdw52wpf2/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS93b21lbi1pbi1kYW5jZS1tdXNpYw== )​ ----------------------------------------------------------------- ​“For many bookers and promoters, representation remains an afterthought – a box to tick, where women are often relegated to opening slots or included sparingly on overwhelmingly male rosters,” writes Service95’s Pia Brynteson.

This month, we’ve brought Dua’s conversation with Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie out from the Service95 Book Club archives, all about her multi-award-winning novel Half Of A Yellow Sun. The interview may have taken place in August 2023 but, like Chimamanda’s novel, the themes remain timeless – and there’s so much to be learnt. As Dua says: “The story takes place in 1960s Nigeria, both before and during the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Biafran War. If this is a period of history you are not familiar with, don’t worry, you are not alone. Chimamanda skilfully balances truth and fiction, giving a gripping sense of what was at stake for those who lived through the war and granting this travesty the attention it deserves.” Expect discussions of the characters, an exploration of the novel’s themes of class, colonialism, politics and conflict, and a poignant reflection from Chimamanda on the role love plays in a novel centred around war. It’s a conversation that touches upon everything from the legacy of empire to whether or not a person can be funnier in one language than another. You’ll have to listen for yourself to find out.

It’s honest and it stays with you. This week, too: Service95’s Creative Producer Pia Brynteson has been quietly running a not-for-profit club night in London, platforming emerging women to raise funds for an all-women convoy driving medical aid from the UK to Lviv. She’s written an article ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/wvuwk57or4aghk7mwkmf7hnz99mlet8h4ggw3/owhkhqhw9l2228fv/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS9jbHViLW5pZ2h0LWZ1bmRyYWlzaW5nLXVrcmFpbmU= ) on why she started the event, spotlighting how these small acts of solidarity can gather momentum.

If you’ve read the book, you’ll understand why I’m so excited. And if you haven’t, please take the time to do so. This book shifted my way of thinking when I first read it in 2014, and coming back to it now has been so enlightening – I hope you take as much from it as I have. First things first: don’t be fooled or put off by the title. Bad Feminist feels like a conversation with your smartest, funniest, wisest friend – and it’s one that many of us should be having. What Roxane does so cleverly is take a topic so many people are hesitant to talk about – feminism – and cracks it wide open. It’s hilarious, compassionate and, at times, devastating. Much like the society in which we live (and which Roxane dissects with humour, heart and deep insight) can be. In fact, Bad Feminist makes the clearest case for feminism I think I’ve ever come across. By moving from pop culture to politics, taking in race, class, sexuality and body image, Roxane explores the casual ‘trickle-down misogyny’ we deal with as women every single day. But this isn’t just a book for women. It’s for everyone. And our conversation couldn’t be more timely. With March being Women’s History Month, being able to delve into the nuances of feminism and life as a woman today was nothing short of enlightening. ​So sit back and take a little time to watch my interview with Roxane on the website here ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/0vu59qp7ndu9h9eod8dilhv8gqpo3inh9ggn2/kkhmh6hnrqm294bl/aHR0cHM6Ly9zZXJ2aWNlOTUuY29tL2R1YS1saXBhLXJveGFuZS1nYXktYm9vay1jbHViLWludGVydmlldw== ), or listen via our podcast, Service95 Book Club With Dua Lipa here ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/0vu59qp7ndu9h9eod8dilhv8gqpo3inh9ggn2/58hvh7hgq87o93b6/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2VwaXNvZGUvMkxRR2s0UkVGYU5mSkJvdXZzVkExVA== ), where we discuss everything from problematic rap lyrics and questionable pop culture figures to where we’re at with equal pay and what it really means to be a feminist in 2026. ​And, as ever, we have some extra content for you to explore once you’ve had a chance to dive into the book. Roxane has put together a list of excellent reads ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/0vu59qp7ndu9h9eod8dilhv8gqpo3inh9ggn2/25h2hoh36zd0o6c3/aHR0cHM6Ly9zZXJ2aWNlOTUuY29tL3JveGFuZS1nYXktcmVhZGluZy1yZWNvbW1lbmRhdGlvbnM= ) for after you've read Bad Feminist, plus she’s shared the playlist ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/0vu59qp7ndu9h9eod8dilhv8gqpo3inh9ggn2/9qhzhnhd0m932mt9/aHR0cHM6Ly9zZXJ2aWNlOTUuY29tL3JveGFuZS1nYXktcGxheWxpc3Q= )​that reflects the energy of the book (and her wider writing) – so prepare for some powerhouse tunes. Plus, writer Ashley C Ford shares a moving piece on what it’s like to have Roxane Gay as your mentor ( https://aac31f4f.click.kit-mail3.com/0vu59qp7ndu9h9eod8dilhv8gqpo3inh9ggn2/3ohphkh30lz9d5hr/aHR0cHM6Ly9zZXJ2aWNlOTUuY29tL2FzaGxleS1jLWZvcmQtb24tcm94YW5lLWdheQ== ) (something we’d all love to have, I’m sure).

There is an overwhelming amount happening in the world right now – both good and bad – and Service95 is here to hold space for all of it. First, we cannot ignore what is happening with ICE in the US. We’ve spoken to people on the ground ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/o8unwmx746uqh6pq5e2tvhqw5pwpkhohqvv40/48hvhehmvko0lmhx/aHR0cHM6Ly9zZXJ2aWNlOTUuY29tL2ljZS1taW5uZWFwb2xpcy1jb21tdW5pdHktcmVzcG9uc2U= ) in Minneapolis; those supporting their communities from within and working tirelessly to protect and uplift those around them. This week also marks four years since the war began in Ukraine. Despite the immense loss and unimaginable pain the country has endured, Ukrainians continue to show that their national pride cannot and will not be broken. In this issue, we meet the creatives who are breathing new life into tradition ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/o8unwmx746uqh6pq5e2tvhqw5pwpkhohqvv40/wnh2hghqn8zr7xi7/aHR0cHM6Ly9zZXJ2aWNlOTUuY29tL3VrcmFpbmUtdnlzaHl2YW5rYS10cmFkaXRpb24= )and using fashion to make a patriotic statement – all while working in a war zone. Stories of creativity, across every industry, never fail to inspire me. I believe creativity is one of the most powerful forces for bringing communities together around the world. That’s why, when I was recently in Paris, I made time to visit one of my closest friends, designer Simon Porte Jacquemus, at his studio to gain a deeper understanding of his process. It was such a special moment for both of us – and we captured it on camera for you to watch on the Service95 YouTube channel ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/o8unwmx746uqh6pq5e2tvhqw5pwpkhohqvv40/08hwh9h2vq8meqhl/aHR0cHM6Ly9zZXJ2aWNlOTUuY29tL2R1YS1saXBhLXNpbW9uLXBvcnRlLWphY3F1ZW11cy12aWRlby1pbnRlcnZpZXc= ). I really hope you take the time to read and watch each of these stories. I’d also love to hear which ones resonated most with you on our socials – and what kinds of stories you’d like to see more of.

My Monthly Read for March is, this time, a collection of essays: Bad Feminist ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/e5u7l9kqr3f7hl63523h8h8o0lrqlclhvllz5/08hwh9h2vzk57xtl/aHR0cHM6Ly9zZXJ2aWNlOTUuY29tL2Jvb2tzL2JhZC1mZW1pbmlzdC0y ) by the inimitable Roxane Gay. And if you know Roxane’s work as a writer, professor, editor and social commentator, you can expect more of her signature wit and unflinching honesty in this. It’s genuinely hilarious, deeply compassionate and, occasionally, devastating. And the kind of book that you will talk about with everyone around you after you’ve finished each of her thought-provoking essays. What can you expect from Bad Feminist? This book feels like a conversation with your smartest, funniest, wisest friend. If you’re wondering how it’s possible to be a feminist to your core at the same time as loving lyrically problematic songs, reality TV and the occasional questionable romcom, congratulations, you are exactly the kind of “bad feminist” Roxane Gay is talking about. And don’t be fooled by the title – Bad Feminist makes the clearest case for feminism I think I’ve ever come across. As she shows, what’s really ‘bad’ is the casual “trickle-down misogyny” we deal with as women every single day. By moving effortlessly from pop culture to politics, taking in race, class, sexuality and body image, Roxane explores how our experiences as women are as distinct as they are unifying. You’ll love it if you enjoyed... Queenie – Candice Carty-Williams Women, Race & Class – Angela Y Davis We Should All Be Feminists – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie The Age of Innocence – Edith Wharton Invisible Women: Data Bias In A World Designed For Men – Caroline Criado Pérez Girl, Woman, Other – Bernardine Evaristo Men Explain Things To Me – Rebecca Solnit Sister Outsider: Essays & Speeches – Audre Lorde Over to you... This is a book you can really savour – absorbing each chapter as standalone essays, one by one.

And now you can, as it’s ready for you to listen to for the first time, wherever you get your podcasts. Some of you may already know Michelle as the uber-cool singer and guitarist of the cult American indie band Japanese Breakfast. Here, she also proves herself to be a first-class memoirist, writing with raw honesty about her teenage relationship with her Korean mother and the grief that followed her death from cancer. During the episode, Dua and Michelle discuss food as therapy and care; how wandering the aisles of Korean grocery store H Mart unlocked memories for Michelle of her mother before she became sick, and how recreating the traditional dishes her mother prepared with such love and skill helped Michelle reconnect with her Korean identity after her death. It’s an intimate look at the complexity of mother-daughter relationships, the chaos of grief and the search for identity between a life lived across South Korea and small-town America. Ultimately, it’s a story about love. Something everyone can relate to. -->LISTEN NOW ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/27uqlw6xmvtoh86z660b3hg37m46ocghg66m0/l2hehmhle6lprds6/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2VwaXNvZGUvMjdUbEFtNU5IYUtwaWNQaUUwUGJnNQ== ) LISTEN NOW ( https://open.spotify.com/episode/27TlAm5NHaKpicPiE0Pbg5 ) ​ ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/27uqlw6xmvtoh86z660b3hg37m46ocghg66m0/e0hph7h76q7z59t8/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zZXJ2aWNlOTUv ) ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/27uqlw6xmvtoh86z660b3hg37m46ocghg66m0/7qh7h8h9qw9e3kuz/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vYy9zZXJ2aWNlOTU= ) ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/27uqlw6xmvtoh86z660b3hg37m46ocghg66m0/z2hghnhenpez07fp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS8= ) ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/27uqlw6xmvtoh86z660b3hg37m46ocghg66m0/p8heh9h4mg4e85fq/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGlua2VkaW4uY29tL2NvbXBhbnkvc2VydmljZTk1 ) ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/27uqlw6xmvtoh86z660b3hg37m46ocghg66m0/x0hph6heo9emxlc5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGlrdG9rLmNvbS9Ac2VydmljZTk1 ) -->VIEW IN BROWSER ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/27uqlw6xmvtoh86z660b3hg37m46ocghg66m0/z2hghnhenpez07fp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS8= ) VIEW IN BROWSER ( https://www.service95.com/ ) -->PRIVACY POLICY ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/27uqlw6xmvtoh86z660b3hg37m46ocghg66m0/6qheh8hlznl402so/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS9wcml2YWN5LXBvbGljeS8= ) PRIVACY POLICY ( https://www.service95.com/privacy-policy/ ) -->INVITE A FRIEND ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/27uqlw6xmvtoh86z660b3hg37m46ocghg66m0/kkhmh6hnr6np48cl/bWFpbHRvOj9ib2R5PUklMjB0aG91Z2h0JTIweW91JTI3ZCUyMGVuam95JTIwdGhpcyUyMGVtYWlsJTIwZnJvbSUyMFNlcnZpY2U5NSUyMCU3QiU3QiUyMGFyY2hpdmVfdXJsJTIwJTdEJTdEJnN1YmplY3Q9Q2hlY2slMjBvdXQlMjB0aGlzJTIwZW1haWwlMjBmcm9tJTIwU2VydmljZTk1 ) INVITE A FRIEND ( mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20this%20email%20from%20Service95&body=I%20thought%20you'd%20enjoy%20this%20email%20from%20Service95%20%7B%7B%20archive_url%20%7D%7D ) Service95 Limited, 88-90 Baker Street, London, W1U6TQ You can update your preferences here ( https://preferences.convertkit-mail2.com/27uqlw6xmvtoh86z660b3hg37m46ocghg66m0 ).

And, as you’ll have probably seen, I had the pleasure of interviewing my dear friend and long-time collaborator Mark Ronson in NYC ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/r8ux9v5dzpaoh3ndqe7s2hdolgz66h7hm884l/dpheh0her43pr6cm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS9kdWEtbGlwYS1tYXJrLXJvbnNvbi1uZXcteW9yay1ldmVudA== ) at the iconic Hotel Chelsea last week, for a live recording for the Service95 Book Club podcast ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/r8ux9v5dzpaoh3ndqe7s2hdolgz66h7hm884l/p8heh9h483vq8qbq/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL3Nob3cvMXo2MUxpNDhKeGNyOEhsZGJ4WHFtUA== ). What a night it was: the drinks were poured, Mark’s soundtrack played and the conversation unfolded effortlessly. ​ What can you expect from Night People? Mark is legendary within the industry for his encyclopaedic knowledge of music. It elevates every studio session, and this book takes you on a journey of each club, artist, and record store where that knowledge was built. There’s so much grind, from lugging crate loads of vinyl up and down stairs, to all the push backs and confidence knocks. It perfectly captures the messy reality of building a career at such a young age. For me, Night People also completes a Service95 Book Club trilogy, of sorts. Just Kids ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/r8ux9v5dzpaoh3ndqe7s2hdolgz66h7hm884l/kkhmh6hn4d7x47fl/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS9ib29rcy9qdXN0LWtpZHMtMw== ) by Patti Smith gave us possibly the most spellbinding account of New York in the ’70s ever written. Widow Basquiat ( https://aac31f4f.click.convertkit-mail2.com/r8ux9v5dzpaoh3ndqe7s2hdolgz66h7hm884l/qvh8h7hdq7xke4cl/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VydmljZTk1LmNvbS9ib29rcy93aWRvdy1iYXNxdWlhdC1qZW5uaWZlci1jbGVtZW50 ) by Jennifer Clement gave us a who’s who of New York’s early ’80s creative scene. Night People gives us the joy and euphoria of a ’90s New York Club night. I’m lucky to call Mark a friend, but there were still so many stories in this book that surprised me, made me laugh, made me cry – and definitely made me want to hit a club!

I try to get my friends and family together as much as possible, usually over a great meal. Because I’m away so often, I rarely get the chance to have people over in the comfort of my own home, so when I do, I love to pull out all the stops. There’s such an art to hosting and over the years I’ve tried so many different styles and tested ways to create the best time for my guests, from the music and the food and drinks, to even the games we play. Below, you’ll find my five tips for hosting a great dinner party – enjoy! I’m so happy that we’ve dedicated a whole issue to the joy of gathering together, this really is the season to be close to loved ones and to welcome people into your homes. It was such a joy to see all the submissions for our call-out to photos of how you host. Thank you to everyone who sent something in. Happy hosting, everyone!
