Europe is experiencing a wave of migration not seen since the end of World War II. Forced out of their homes by terror and war in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, pulled to Europe by the prospect of a better life, huge numbers are risking everything in perilous journeys across land and sea. The Guardian's migration correspondent Patrick Kingsley and photographer Giles Duley, have been documenting these journeys and speaking to the people that undertake them. For the Frontline Club’s World News section they will be sharing the human stories behind Europe’s refugee crisis, in a discussion chaired by Channel 4 News’ international editor, Lindsey Hilsum.

A highlight of the day was our headline band WOWH. We caught them via Sofar Sounds, and they played for us at Citadel Festival in July. They are the first band we have ever invited back to Sunday Papers. Awesome poppy R&B-inflected good-times from Toby & Nick, who wanted to create something which reflected their passion for songwriting, production and performance - that really comes through in their live performances. 

By the time evening rolls around at Sunday Papers a lot of people need to get home and miss the last couple of acts. So for those of you that needed to leave HERE is their entire set.

#9 Edition Culture - WOWH

What does it mean to really belong to an ecosystem? Mac braids beauty, wildness, activism and the yearning pulse all humans have for a meaningful life, into a compelling narrative. It is a call, a paean, a heart-song, to the many millions of us who still stand on the sidelines and passively watch as our blue planet is slowly, systematically, and meticulously tamed, caged, and broken. Clever, we undoubtedly are, but wise we are not. Not yet.

Mac is an entrepreneur, speaker and the founder of Embercombe, a social enterprise on a Devon smallholding that seeks to inspire committed action for a truly sustainable world. Over a period of twenty years Mac has been mentored and coached by Native American 'Medicine' people on the cultural and spiritual teachings that once informed the practice of our own British indigenous culture. The values, principles, and wisdom of this tradition inform and guide all aspects of his life and work.

#10 BUSINESS - Gig : Freedom Or False Hope?

Award-winning documentarian, author, indigenous rights advocate, explorer, trek leader and former Royal Marines commando officer. Bruce is best known for his BBC series Tribe. Bruce has been busy. For the past four years he has been on an exploration to find a deeper understanding of indigenous peoples and how their way of life can benefit those in the industrialised world - providing a powerful voice that must be heard before it is completely lost. Now he has come back to us, we were extremely lucky to be the first live audience with an opportunity to hear about it.

#10 TRAVEL - Bruce Parry

Record-breaking adventurer, author, social projecteer (it is a word) and maker of little films. Since quitting his last job as a terrible graphic designer in 2005, Dave has written three books, created hundreds of short films, delivered hundreds of lectures worldwide, travelled over 20,000 non-motorised miles as part of his Expedition1000 project, founded life-fulfilling brand SayYesMore and, finally, has made up for being a total loser in his early twenties.

Dave's work is more and more focused on the power of movement, acting on decisions, reducing working hours, minimising spending and concentrating on the elements of life that keep our mental health in check and Monday mornings enjoyable.

Amongst Dave's adventures are record breaking SUP journeys along the Mississippi and around Martinique, longboarding across Australia, swimming 1001 miles and co-founding the groundbreaking growth mindset projects, Exploring Mindset and Winter Quest.

Although consistently nomadic for a decade, Dave now lives on a boat in London and in between adventures leads The YesTribe, a community of doers dedicated to redesigning life for the better. He blogs and speaks about adventure, living life on our own terms and maximising efficiency of choice in order to to magnify the positive impact of our work and lifestyle.

Citadel 2017 Travel - Dave Cornthwaite

Hot & fresh out the kitchen, a conversation with one of Wilderness' star chefs, by one of our star interviewers.

His food mixes the flavours of the Middle East and the Mediterranean and has been credited with changing the way many eat and cook, fuelling the surge in popularity of cooking ingredients including wakame seaweed, orange blossom, pomegranate seeds and za'atar. 

Born to a German mother and an Italian father in Jerusalem, he grew up enjoying a wide range of culinary influences and he loved food from an early age. After completing a master's degree at Tel Aviv University, he enrolled in a six-month cookery course at Le Cordon Bleu school in London. While working as a pastry chef he met his future business partner, Sami Tamimi, a Palestinian also from Jerusalem, and they opened their first deli in London's Notting Hill in 2002. 

He has written a weekly food column for The Guardian since 2006 and has published five cookery books, as well as opening four more delis and a restaurant.

Ríoghnach is best known as the voice of Honeyfeet. We were blessed with a preview of her brand new project Owl Dolls, with the multi-amazing Leonie Evans - of whom the high priestess of Sundays Cerys Matthews observed: "Like nothing else I've ever heard in my life, I was just blown away with her". This is an hour of total bliss.

QI elf and star of the hit show No Such Thing As a Fish. Dan's career got a huge boost as the very first host of Sunday Papers Live in 2013. Dan's job is to discover random interesting facts and communicate them in fun ways - so he is very much our kind of chap. Dan's show just sold out the Sydney Opera House.

#12 REVIEW - DAN SCHREIBER

A highlight of the #3 Edition, Reeps One's work is the product of a highly intimate, lifelong relationship with the human voice. The London-born musician and artist has been obsessively experimenting with innovative vocal practices alongside the creative representation of physics and sound since the age of 18. His unique skills have seen him uncover new keys to cognitive efficiency and expand his phonetic vocabulary to new boundaries.

#12 CULTURE - REEPS ONE

A homage to the shared joys of Sunday. A day of walks, talks, roasts & performances that bring the broadsheets to life.
