I tend to prefer dubbed films nowadays - as I rarely have the time or the necessary ...

Thank you to everyone who made it to our live event last Wednesday. We really love our new St Martin’s Hall venue - and we’re looking to make that our regular spot for these events.

Beautifully centrally located right on Trafalgar Square with exceptions facilities, amenities and catering - we all most certainly loved it. Interesting to know that Amnesty International and The Big Issue were founded from within the same complex!

Our venue was one of two in London - the other is at Canary Wharf, there’s also one in Leeds, and almost 3 in the USA - in Austin, Dallas, and soon to open in ...

So I’ve been spending the last couple of weeks exploring the two current leading AI-Generated Music / Song Platforms - suno.com and www.udio.com.

Chat GPT’s Suno has been around for a while - it’s V3 currently I believe, while Udio - created by 4 former Google DeepMind staffers is currently in Beta and has only been live since April 10th this year.
