Addition to June line-up
Peter Jaeger will be our third performer at our June 12th reading. Please note that this will be at another new venue: The Castle on Oldham Street, Manchester, which we hope will be our home for the forseeable future. Please also note that 12th June is a Tuesday rather than our previously usual Wednesday. To help the next six weeks pass a little quicker, you can enjoy this film of Peter performing his collaboration with Marcus Slease at February’s Camarade II event at the Rich Mix in Bethnal Green, London.
