The still-anonymous Banksy (rumoured to go by the first name of Robert or Robin and thought to be from Bristol) pulled off quite a heist in late 2021. His piece Love is in the Bin, which famously self-destructed at a Sotheby's auction several years earlier, was put back on the block and fetched an astonishing £18.5 million. While original works by this elusive British artist aren't currently on public display, reproductions are on view from 30th August at The Mystery of BANKSY: A Genius Mind exhibition on the grounds of the Poznań International Fair.

Bambie Thug - or, to use her full name, Bambie Ray Robinson - is one of the most fascinating and unpredictable figures on today's pop music scene.

It doesn't really matter. What does is that it works! After all, few artists can turn quasi-radio hits into something so original as Bambie Thug, who shot to fame with her* performance at the 68th Eurovision Song Contest representing Ireland.

Vastly outnumbered, a handful of tourists quickly blend in. Cordial greetings and hushed conversations can be heard. Faces familiar from Poznań's concert halls occasionally appear. Whispers gradually die down in the tightly packed pews. Up on the gallery, a musician takes a seat at the organ. Another "Old Town Organ Concert" is about to commence.
