Expect beauty, dissent and cachinnation in the candlelit intimacy of Manchester’s legendary Blueprint Studios.
Libations of the alcoholic, and non alcoholic variety will be on sale throughout the evening. Cash & card accepted.

We're setting our benchmark seriously high by and thrilled to be kicking off on Friday October 4th with music from Aidan Smith and poetry from Thick Richard.

Thick Richard has been pedalling his potty-mouthed poems at festivals and clubs up and down the land for the last 16 years. His cynical, lyrical, jet-black humour, intelligent wordplay, well-crafted verse, and occasionally acerbic, well-targeted comic attacks have earned him much respect from artists and audiences from Edinburgh to Glastonbury. Occasional support for Kate Tempest, Thick Richard was also presenter of BBC 6 Music’s Beat of the Day. A regular headliner of Hammer and Tongue nationwide poetry tours and is usually to be found performing a wide variety of live music and cabaret venues.

Aidan Smith got his music training in piano lessons, Salford brass and swing bands, teenage campfire jams and drumming on books with pens. He made two records on a blue 4-track tape machine for Manchester’s Twisted Nerve Records and played gigs at Green Man Festival, Eden Project and a hotel bar in New York.
He released several full-length records on various independent labels whilst sound-tracking a number of short films. He co-wrote a super-8 musical film ‘It’s Nick’s Birthday’ which also included his first acting role as a piece of pepperoni.
As a multi-instrumentalist he has also performed live in bands whose genres and influences range from live rap to ragtime.
