Reviews of How Does It Feel To Be Loved?:

"This hugely popular night knows there are few better ways to enter the new year than with a soundtrack of classic sixties soul and the most danceworthy janglepop and shimmering indie tunes." - Time Out
“A speakeasy for anyone who suspects that their life is one big Smiths song' - Big Issue
'Absolutely the best night in the whole of the world!” - The Guardian
“Much-loved indie pop institution” - The Quietus
“Legendary indie club” - NME

TICKET AND BOOK COMBO TICKET

This ticket includes a copy of my novel The Tunnels, which you can pick up on the night. The Tunnels is a "suburban science fantasy ghost story", which will hopefully appeal to fans of Douglas Adams, Kurt Vonnegut, Martin Millar and Robert Rankin. It's published by Secret Name Books on February 26th, 2026, but we're selling a few copies in advance. More info about the book here - www.secretname.co.uk. The book is priced £9.99.

    Fantastic fun event with actors reading stories. Wild that tickets are cheaper than a pint but I'm not complaining (also I won a book in the interval quiz so I actually came away in profit :)
