David Dein
David Dein
‘Without David Dein there wouldn’t have been a Premier League.’
Greg Dyke
Part memoir, part inspirational meditation on leadership and
teamwork, Calling the Shots: How to Win in Football and Life is the
entertaining and eye-opening account of a remarkable career that
changed football forever. David Dein was co-owner of Arsenal for
24 years, vice-chair of the Football Association and president of the
G-14, receiving high admiration from sporting icons including Arsène
Wenger, Sven-Göran Eriksson and Ian Wright, as well as an MBE for
voluntary work in schools and prisons. An unmissable encounter.

Why We Sing
Julia Hollander
What is it about song that brings communities together, in harmony
and protest? Why do parents feel compelled to sing to their newborns? How can an activity that helps to embed languages and
maths formulae also be used to rehabilitate Long Covid sufferers?
Singing is at the root of what it is to be human. Acclaimed music
therapist, teacher and performer Julia Hollander charts our love of
song from cradle to grave, from lullabies to songs for the dying. With
some (voluntary!) audience participation.
