For more than a year The All Good Sound Workshop has been meeting at the shop for evenings of fearless experimentation in music, raw sound and all areas in between. Until now this group has been private but tonight you can join us for a participatory session involving a range of approaches to free improvisation. All invited and bring your voice!

Join author Cate Baum to celebrate the release of her novel Land of Hope.

Wife of The Devil O’ Th’ Moor. Hope Gleason has many names. The child of a shepherd raised in the remote moors of Northern England, Hope has always understood the satanic brutality of the land.

But when an ear-splitting, unknowable sound destroys the nearby village, Hope must embark on a dangerous journey to survive through the ravaged land with a lad, newly orphaned and alone, under her wing. As they trek the wilds together to find her husband, her violent past chases her at every turn and long-buried memories begin to resurface. A pitch-black, magnetic, and unforgettable meditation on the nature of love, evil, and the power of redemption, Land of Hope mixes history and the myths of the English moors to tell a compelling modern English fable of serial killers at the end of the world.  

 

David Ziggy Greene will be joining us to sign images and other items to celebrate SMALL PRESS DAY which has been going for 10 years!

 

Come along and meet David and get some cool things.

Featuring:

GUTTED by Minnie Wilkinson. Come fill your guts with stories from East Anglia, descaled by award-winning storyteller Minnie Wilkinson. Be hooked by tales of ancient queens and bags of bones, hulls bursting with herring and something strange in the water - but that's another kettle of fish.

DELIVER US FROM EVIL by Aaron Oliver. A priest in the 1400s makes his way to Rome to find a cure. He’s been cursed by a witch, become possessed by a demon, and can no longer trust his own body. Join Aaron Oliver for a dive into the demonic, as he unpicks this forgotten true story and asks the question: what does it mean to be cured?
