'It was a wonderful start to Christmas.' Penny Readings audience member

For 2008  Janet Suzman, renowned for her Shakespearean roles, joined us for the event. She read alongside our very own Phil Davis (editor of The Reader magazine) and Liverpool literature-lover Brian Nellist.   

 It was not just readings; there was also live music, poetry and dance performances from, amongst others: Daywalker (acoustic guitar and vocals), Kensington Choir, Sarah Jane Vespertine (performance poet extraordinaire), Somalifields (up-and-coming young Somali poets) and El Ghawazee (belly-dancers!).
