Celebrating connections between music and dance, this new four day festival showcases an array of author events, music and artistic commissions.

The programme includes Robin Ince, General Levy, the Bookshop Band, Mike Gayle and Catherine O’Flynn. Poetry on Demand, and a new commission from Adèle Oliver featuring new work from Casey Bailey and Ryan Dre Sinclair, also feature.

Funded by a National Lottery Project Grant, the festival includes advanced writing workshop with award-winning author Michel Faber, music-themed author events at the Hare & Hounds, storytelling with a musical twist, and a three-hour 'genre-bending' set supported by resident DJ's and friends of the Heath Bookshop, Leftfoot. There's also a Crime Writers Panel at All Saints Centre and a workshop for beginners with Anna Metcalfe, at The Heath Bookshop.
