London: Winter Tales - Line-up announcement

Oil 54 and Arcane Publishing are delighted to present: 

LONDON: WINTER TALES - a special and intimate evening of readings and music to warm you up on a long, cold winter night. 

We have an eclectic line-up of talents, all from very different backgrounds and with a wide range of experiences but with one all important thing in common: fierce dedication and passion for their art(s). They also all have their own unique way of telling stories…  

Every ticket holder will be sent a downloadable (and printable) PDF booklet featuring interviews with all the performers and information about the organisers. 


PERFORMERS 

We are incredibly honoured to have the wonderful author, poet, performer and singer Rosie Garland as our headliner. Rosie will be reading some of her poetry as well as extracts from her superb novels ′The Palace of Curiosities′ (Harpercollins) and ′Vixen′ (Borough Press), and will talk about her work. She has also gracefully agreed to do a signing session!

It is an immense pleasure to announce that the superb Black Volition will also be gracing the stage at the Harrison! BV was founded by Reza Udhin (Inertia, Killing Joke) and Will Crewdson (Rachel Stamp, Scant Regard, She Made Me Do It, The Selecter, Adam Ant and more!). They are sometimes joined by other musicians for their live performances… 
Which line-up will you get? All will be revealed before Christmas!

The mysterious You The Living will be painting the venue black with tracks from their visceral first album (out now!) ′XXXI′. We are thrilled to have this intense trio with us for this event!

Joanna Vale: Joanna is a London-born poet and wordsmith with a love of the visual arts. She recently curated Voices of the Winter Hearth, an immersive mixed media exhibition blending folklore with the iconic imagery of a Dark Ages winter. She also collaborated on the exhibition Tales from the Autumn House in 2014, providing poetry and prose to the artwork by artist Renaud C. Haslan. She is inspired by the forest and seasonal change, always looking for the mysteries in Nature, and the powerful impact it has upon our lives. At this event Joanna will read from her poetry collection written for the winter exhibition.
