Rachel introduced us last week to Book Slam, a monthly literary and musical event happening across various locations in London for a few years now. The line-up consisted of writer Toby Litt, performance poetess and former World Slam Champion Kat Francois, and Andreya Triana, soul music delight from Brighton.
Toby Litt has written nine books so far, titled in alphabetical order, and read us two stories from his latest book, I play the drums in a band called okay. Enjoyable. Kat Francois got the public raving with the unique interpretation of her poems, and made us wonder whether they preserve their rhythm in writing. Andreya Triana has a sweet, husky voice and made my heart sing with joy when I recognised a song in her too short a playlist.
While the founder Patrick Neate noted she's the first ever artist invited after browsing a MySpace page, I couldn't stop obsessing over the song I couldn't have heard on MySpace, because I never open it. Trying to locate the tune on iTunes today to perhaps buy it, I discovered I own it! Tea Leaf Dancers (Flying Lotus Featuring Andreya Triana) appears on Gilles Peterson's compilation Brownswood Bubblers Two, a Christmas gift from my love.
All in all, yummy evening for GBP 6/ capita in the inspired setting of the 12 Acklam Road club. Even though the bar made us pay a 1 GBP fee for buying a wine bottle with a card.
