An evening of live music and short stories, that aims to eschew the cliqueness that can manifest in environments of creativity. No networking allowed; smirking, thinking, dancing and chatting, however, are all encouraged.
Musical Performances:
Autocamper - OR, the perfect pop antidote to the city’s predictable post-punk machismo. Like a Northern kitchen sink rendering of The Vaselines’ call and response motif, vocal duties are shared by Jack Harkins and Niamh Purtill—their world-weary reflections on bedroom tiffs and hungover misdemeanors capture the jangle pop spirit of the ‘80s without the C86 revisionism.
Tigers and Flies - OR, Cowbell-wielding horn-blowing 5-piece Tigers and Flies provide energy without sacrificing melody. They make wonky guitar music with a hearty punk affliction. Inclined towards the lighthearted and mundane, Tigers and Flies are full of contradictions, and that is their greatest consistency.
Camberwell Group - OR, a cello & saxophone quartet.
Readings:
Thymian Gadd:
Thymian Gadd is from South East London. They studied a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts at ECUAD in Vancouver where they realised that as much as they enjoyed making art, it was their writing pen that they reached for more instinctively than their paintbrush. Energised by ideas around auto-theory and auto-fiction they have undertaken the Creative and Life Writing MA to explore how stories from our everyday lives can reflect, question, and challenge wider cultural narratives.
Florrie Evans:
Florrie Evans is a writer from Stroud with a degree in English Literature and Film from the University of Manchester. She explores themes of grief, memory, nature, and fleeting moments of joy through poetry, vignettes, and short stories. Her work lies in the quiet spaces of human experience and looks to create moments of reflection and awe.
