It seems that we have inspired the musical union of Bishi and Cameron Carpenter, who are performing together at St Leonard's Church in Shoreditch. DJ and musician Bishi has been on the show twice, and spotted Carpenter's performance on The Culture Show back in November. Bishi wasn't the only one - after the show four of my friends independently asked who the crazy organist was.

combines profound musicianship with a flamboyant style that is about as far away from the traditional image of an organist as possible, and since his appearance on the show has been nominated for a Grammy Award. We'll be showing an item about Carpenter on The Culture Show Uncut on Friday 6 February.

Back to this weekend. During the concert the pair will be playing tracks from Bishi's new album, Albion, but also pieces by Chopin and songs from Disney films: quite a mix. Let us know if you go to the concert - I'd be there, but I'm out of London this weekend.
