Coming up

12 Acklam Road London, W10 5QZ

Join us for the hippest Book Slam since Sky Mangel renounced meat and Mary 'Movement' Jones first danced samba. We will be in the company of rhythmic gymnasts including: -

• TOBY LITT. One of Granta's best novelists under 40 and the author of nine (count them, nine) novels, the latest of which is the brilliant 'I Play The Drums In A Band Called Okay'. Clearly a man whose work ethic is every bit as sickening as his talent.
• ANDREYA TRIANA. Brighton-based soul jazz chanteuse currently completing her debut album. Her voice is such a mixture of smoke and syrup that she'll give you a sore throat and cure it before you notice.
• KAT FRANCOIS. Former BBC Slam Champion, former World Slam Champion, she's East London's finest poet and a verbal pugilist with a mean upper cut.
  
• Hosted by Patrick Neate, while DJ Ils gives us chills.
