An evening of positive future narratives that refute the inevitably of global dystopia. JOHN HIGGS on LOVE & LET DIE: BOND, THE BEATLES & THE BRITISH PSYCHE - John Higgs talks about how Bond and the Beatles present us with opposing values, visions of Britain, and ideas about male identity. LOVE AND LET DIE is the story of a clash between working class liberation and establishment control, and how it exploded on the global stage ANDREW O'NEILL - COMEDIAN/ANARCHIST/THEY THEM of DAMNED ANDREW - Andrew O'Neill is an award-winning comedian, musician and best-selling writer. A psychedelic non-binary whirlwind, they combine surrealism, polemic and good old-fashioned stagecraft to produce uniquely counter-cultural stand-up who has performed in over a dozen different countries, at over a hundred different festivals, and is equally at home in rowdy comedy clubs as performing to their own cult following. THE HOVE SPACE PROGRAM - Re-entering earth's atmosphere for the evening are Brighton-based arts collective The Hove Space Program. The Hove Space Program are a mostly fictional band of transcendental freedom fighters who act as mycelic energy nodes and multidimensional tricksters. They like to bring the party, and also enjoy a nice cup of tea and a sit down. Featuring: BEN GRAHAM - Spoken Word / OMAR IBRAHIM - Comedy / DOLLY RAE STARCORE - Will Helm Rightly + Poetry / VERITY SPOTT - Poetry / MYRA STUART PRESENTS - Puppets William Blake + Alan Watts
