If you fancy a night of stories of that will make Hunter S possibly turn in his cannon-singed grave, come along next Thursday (7th May) to this evening Amythefilmmaker (Amy Riley) is organising and reading at called Grit Lit.
The event features eight writers, all with Brighton connections, who will be reading rough, tough (and easily digestible) tales from the South coast’s social and cultural fringe:
Tim Lay [The Sewerside Chronicles]
Amy Riley[Trash Menagerie/Brighton Fusion]
Tony Diamond[Pebble on the Beach/Queenspark]
Tara Gould[Short Fuse]
Chris Ellis, Tom Jayston, Martin Curtis and B [The Big Issue/Amazement/Creative Future]
Dave Swann[The Last Days of Johnny North/Tongues and Strings]
£2.50 won’t break the bank and you might even have fun at this literary night, cafe style, along the dirty but beloved street of St James in Kemptown. It’s 70 capacity at RR so be sure to get down for 7.45pm to guarantee your spot down the front.
The night is being put in conjunction with Queenspark Books and our very own, Brighton Fusion.
See you there & happy festivalling !
