For the Lost is a Resonance FM platform spanning weekly radio broadcasts and live events that champions underrepresented voices across music, literature and the arts. Produced and presented by Dee Sada, this is the second edition of the series' live events, which will also be broadcast on Resonance FM.
Myth, Memory & Hauntology explores the stories we inherit, the memories we preserve and how identity continues to shape our lives. Bringing together poetry, sonic experimentation, improvised performance, the evening examines folklore, nostalgia and imagined futures.
The evening also premieres Kayfabe Memories, a new live radio play featuring Letrix, Peregrine Kelly, Massimo Braghieri, Rishi Dastidar, Dee Sada and Martin Williams.
John Hegley was born in Newington Green, North London, and was educated in Luton, Bristol and Bradford University.
His first public performance monies came from busking his songs, initially outside a shoeshop in Hull, in the late Seventies. He performed on the streets of London in the early Eighties, fronting the Popticians, with whom he also recorded two sessions for John Peel, and has since been a frequent performer of his words, sung and spoken, on both local and national radio.
He has produced ten books of verse and prose pieces, two CDs and one mug, but his largest source of income is from stages on his native island. An Edinburgh Festival regular, he is noted for his exploration of such diverse topics as dog hair, potatoes, handkerchieves and the misery of human existence.
He is an occasional DJ, dancer and workshop leader, using drawing, poetry and gesture. He has been awarded an honorary Doctorate of Arts from the University of Bedfordshire.

Harmeet Rahal (b. 1996, Mumbai) is an artist and filmmaker living in South-East London. His project ‘Afterprayers’ is a live soundtrack that plays with sampling as a conspiratorial framework and an exercise in paranoid pattern-recognition. Performed with an android phone, an electric guitar, and other such devices, ‘Afterprayers’ explores devotion through brief moments of anticipation, longing, despair and madness.
Harmeet has exhibited both nationally and internationally. Selected shows include Bloomberg New Contemporaries at Camden Art Centre, London (UK), People’s Freedom 75 at Bhupesh Gupta Bhavan, Mumbai (India), The Medium Is The Medium, at 8B2 Islamabad (Pakistan), and CIRCA Prize screenings in London, Berlin, and Milan.

A lover of the spotlight, Letrix dazzles audiences wherever he goes. The ‘Triple D’ (Dropkicker, Dancer, Diva) rises to the occasion of entertaining crowds with his unapologetically flamboyant style, as seen in wrestling promotions Emporium Pro Wrestling and UKPW.
But don’t let the sparkles and flair fool you; Letrix is a dangerous opponent in the ring, willing to do anything necessary to walk away a winner. Whether he’s hitting his signature ‘Letrix Shock’ face-buster or serving a mid-match eight-count, you won’t be able to keep your eyes off Letrix. And that’s the tea for today.

Since running away from his family’s circus to fulfil his dream of becoming a wrestler, Peregrine Kelly - PK to his fans - has been wrestling in shows across the South East (of England and Asia) over the last couple of years. He’s enjoyed entertaining both family and big-night-out audiences.
Whilst training at Burridge Fight Design in Walthamstow, PK has released that he shouldn’t turn his back entirely on his circus heritage as all the circus malarkey and strongman antics serves him well in the ring.

London-based composer and DJ, Massimo Braghieri is a multifaceted force in the world of music. From his early days as an
organ soloist and conductor to his work as a composer, arranger, and sound engineer, Massimo's musical odyssey has been remarkably dynamic.
His musical education began at four and culminated in a master's degree in Organ and Composition. Initially drawn to performance and education, he spent years as an organ soloist and choirmaster, even conducting his first orchestra in his teens.
However, his passion for electronic music and his insatiable curiosity about all forms of music led him down many different paths. He became involved in several local avant-garde bands, some of which achieved cult status in the Italian New Wave underground scene. He studied and performed as a countertenor in the award-winning madrigal group Fosco Corti.
He composed scores for theatrical companies and arranged and wrote music for the folk group Enerbia, whose debut album was released in collaboration with World Music magazine. He also toured as a keyboardist with Manuela Dia, winner of the Premio Tenco—Italy's most prestigious award for songwriters—broadcast nationally on television.
In 2008, Massimo's evolution as a DJ took flight, especially within the LGBT+ and queer scene. His signature blend of indie-dance and techno captivated audiences and became a staple at legendary London venues, earning acclaim across Europe, Canada, and Asia.
Most recently, he composed the soundtrack for “Temple”, a short film selected for the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Expanding on his electronic roots, Massimo also teamed up with DJ/producer Gianluca Pighi to form the project Oh!. Grounded in the atmospheric textures of synth-pop and post-punk, the duo released their ambitious, 16-track debut double album, We Come In Peace, on Huldigung Records in 2026.

Dee Sada is a London-based curator, broadcaster, and musician. She is the creator and host of For the Lost, a weekly Resonance FM radio programme and live event series exploring experimental music, poetry, storytelling and interdisciplinary performance, with a focus on underrepresented voices and independent artistic communities.
Dee curates and produces live events and broadcast programmes, and has recently collaborated with Spanners, Theatreship and Totally Thames Festival, bringing together artists across music, spoken word, sound art and performance. She is particularly interested in radio as both an artistic medium and a public space, creating live broadcasts that blur the boundaries between performance, documentation and participation.
Alongside her curatorial work, she performs with the experimental no-wave trio An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump (AEOBITAP). Dee also produces solo work and collaborates with musicians including Massimo Braghieri and Fergus Lawrie (Urusei Yatsura). With Lawrie, she co-founded the duo Paper Birch, releasing the album, morninghairwater through Cafe OTO’s TAKUROKU label and Reckless Yes Records.
As a curator, Dee has programmed interdisciplinary exhibitions and performances with some of the most radical voices in contemporary art, including Carolee Schneemann and Laure Prouvost. Her work has been supported by influential institutions such as CIRCA, Whitechapel Gallery, IKON Gallery, and Cafe OTO.
Her practice explores memory, migration, myth and identity through sound, live performance and collaborative projects. She has curated events at Cafe OTO since 2015 and recently collaborated with Pop-Kultur Berlin on a series of workshops and panel events on DIY communities.
