Candlelight: Peaky Blinders
7 February 2027 16:30
Lone Star Flight Museum
Quick catch-up: Peaky Blinders is Steven Knight’s BBC drama, six seasons long and on air from 2013 to 2022. It follows Tommy Shelby and his family through industrial Birmingham, England, after World War I. It won Best Drama Series at the 2018 BAFTA TV Awards, and the story returned in 2026 with the film The Immortal Man. The series is also often credited with bringing back the flat cap and the three-piece suit (you may have noticed).
The soundtrack is famous for setting a period story to modern rock, and this concert reworks it into dark, powerful arrangements for about an hour, among thousands of candles. Listen out for “Red Right Hand” by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, the opening theme, and “Do I Wanna Know?” by Arctic Monkeys. You know the first few bars already, don’t you? Oh, and almost 20 years separate the two: the first comes from the 1994 album Let Love In, the second from 2013’s AM.
So what happens when music built on distortion and swagger moves into a candlelit room? It doesn’t go soft. The arrangements keep the weight of the series and lean into dark melodies and slow-building tension. Think less background music, more the moment the opening titles roll.
Now, about that venue. The Lone Star Flight Museum is an aviation museum and STEM center at Ellington Airport, home to the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame. It moved here from Galveston in 2017 and now fills 130,000 square feet with historic aircraft, some of them still kept flight-ready. Vintage engineering and a story set a century ago? That pairing makes more sense than you’d think.
The concert lasts about an hour. The museum is at 11551 Aerospace Avenue, Houston, TX 77034, with free on-site parking (always a win), and wheelchairs are available on request. There’s no dress code, but 1920s style is more than welcome: newsboy caps, vests, three-piece suits, pocket-watch chains, drop-waist dresses, cloche hats and long gloves. Tweed and herringbone get bonus points.
