Happy New Year to all our friends and followers, enjoy the celebrations tonight, and look at what a great line up we have for our first gig of 2026, Live at The Harrison. Featured poet is the "rude, smutty and comical", and rather wonderful Heather Mary Sullivan, guest musician is Walthamstow's finest Emma Scarr and our MC is Carl Chamberlain. Poets and musicians from the floor are warmly welcome as always, as are those who just want to come along to listen.
Help us get 2026 off to a flying start. More Poetry, More Music, More Solidarity!
