ANTHONY JOSEPH is one of the leading writers of his generation. Born in Trinidad, Anthony's novels, poems and spoken word fuse Calypso rhythms with a postmodern eye. Expect 'the deep burr of a man who keeps fish-hooks in his beard'.
For this performance only Anthony will be joined by Andrew John on bass.

HEATHER TAYLOR writes songs, stories and poems, her words 'honed with razor wire'. A published author and Glastonbury veteran, Heather takes us on a lyrical journey through the wildernesses of Canada and the chameleon mix of identities which is London today. This is poetry for the Sex and the City generation.
