About Royal Institution

The Royal Institution of Great Britain is an organisation for scientific education and research, based in the City of Westminster. It was founded in 1799 by the leading British scientists of the age, including Henry Cavendish and its first president, George Finch. Its foundational principles were diffusing the knowledge of, and facilitating the general introduction of useful mechanical inventions and improvements, as well as enhancing the application of science to the common purposes of life.

We're going to do some live podcasts. They will be on the 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 25th of July at the Royal Institution in London. We'll be performing at the Lecture Theatre, which is the home of the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures. It's an extremely venerable place.

Other times Royal Institution came up

  1. It was the Royal Road. I suppose only the king was allowed to waltz up and down there. I'm trying to work out if this show will go out before the second episode of our Royal Institution run, where the crowd were baying for blood for any social infraction that anyone could make. We would say, oh, someone got fined for using their phone on the train.

  2. Yeah. I might be able to do it. Hey, do you guys remember when I was on the way into the Royal Institution for our recent run of live gigs and on the train and the other end of the carriage, I heard a man on his phone going, hi there. Yes, I've just left my second son at the station.

  3. They made a one-way street so that people could get in and out and it was the first one-way street in the whole of England. Yeah, the Royal Institution is on Albemarle Street, which is just outside us and so many people were coming horse and carriage and walking and crowding to see Davey speak that they had to change the whole system.

  4. Just before we start the show, we've got a couple of exciting things to announce for July to fill up your July calendar. One is that we're doing a whole bunch of live shows. Time to get back on the stage. They're going to be at the Royal Institution, which is such an exciting venue. We've played there once before, but we were missing an essential ingredient. This time we're getting that ingredient four times over.
