The first edition of Klüb Gütenberg, a new monthly night of words and music presented by the Quietus in association with Rough Trade Books, will take place at the Old Queen’s Head, Islington, on Thursday 13th October.
The opening night features some illustrious talents. Poet and rock roadie Jock Scot, famous for his involvement with everyone from The Clash to British Sea Power, will be making a live appearance. Lucy Cooke, filmmaker and broadcaster, will be giving an illustrated talk on her work in Costa Rica with sloths. And Roy Wilkinson, brother of British Sea Power men Yan and Hamilton, will be giving a reading from his excellent book Do It For Your Mum, which is the first to be published through Rough Trade Books. It’s a funny, thoughtful and moving read, exploring Wilkinson’s family history and love of rock music through the lens of British Sea Power’s rise to national fame. And DJ SAS Dirtyman will be spinning records.
