Let?s get this festival started with fiction from four of the UK?s foremost practitioners, Natasha Soobramanien & Luke WIlliams, Jonathan Gibbs and + The Goldsmith Prize 2014 shortlisted Will Eaves. Grab a Bukowski Boilermaker Literary Cocktail from the bar and settle in.


Natasha and Luke, authors of first novels Genie and Paul, and The Echo Chamber, read from their collaborative second novel, Diego Garcia. Jonathan Gibbs reads from his debut novel, Randall. Will Eaves reads from his most recent publication, The Absent Therapist, described by author Patricia Duncker as ?a book of soundings, a jostle of voices that variously argue, remember, explain, justify, speculate and meander?.

    • Gosh, a mere 61 years since "It's my party".  I didn't know at the time that it was QJ's first production.  I remember it like last week and probably have him to thank, for beating Spector to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_My_Party  
    • Quincy Jones Born March 14, 1933, Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Died November 3, 2024 (aged 91), Los Angeles, California, U.S. Simply a musical legend of his time who's contribution to RnB, Soul and jazz music should never be under estimated.  Record producer, songwriter, composer, arranger, and film and television producer. He worked with many of the soul and jazz legends himself, and he has a back catalogue of material I urge you to listen to and enjoy. He will be sadly missed.         
    • Used Leon for the first time today as our usual electrician was out of London. neighbour gave us his details as we lost all power in the lower part of our house. Fortunately we had a separate circuit for the first floor so could boil up a kettle. Leon when rang advised he could come this afternoon, turned up and checked every thing and got power back on and to call him back if we had any more problems. Reasonable rate considering it was an emergency call out. Nice chap, very helpful, would recommend.
    • Hubby went in to enquire re washing a double duvet - cost quoted £20.  He paid £25 a few weeks ago of another duvet in a laundrette opposite Peckham Bus Garage.
