Beepfest

The reading night is a bit different for October...

We're going to be curating a stage at a mini day-long music festival called 'Beepfest' at The Deaf Institute on the 18th October, which is a Saturday. We'll be returning to the basement for poetry and stories interspersed with acoustic music. Socrates Adams-Florou, Luke Yates, Richard Barrett, Jenn Ashworth and Chris Killen will all be reading, plus more to be confirmed.

There are some ace bands playing upstairs, and it's £10 to get in.

As the 18th is close to the literature festival and blog awards etc, we're going to leave it at this for October, and normal (free) 'no point...' service will be resumed in November.

we'll post more details on here so keep checking.
