Happy New Year!
We’re excited to have added a new show to the line up: the Misunderstandings Magazine Issue 11 Launch Party! And we are just about to announce a co-operative venture with other leading reading series on January 19th – a bye bye Bush night of words & song! Stay tuned and have a shave and happy New Year’s Eve.
