Soirée!
101 Social welcomes you to a night of music and poetry curated by The Secret Travel Agency.
Dan Lyons is a Margate based musician and songwriter. In 2021 Dan and his band The Tenants set up a DIY studio in an old theatre and recorded the follow up to 2020’s ‘SubSuburbia’ in just 10 days. The result is Lyons’ rawest and most intimate work to date. Recorded live with minimal overdubs, the album is a blast of uncompromising truth reminding us all to stay awake when the vultures are circling. It’s out now on his family run label Shaker Records.
King of May: quicksilver dream rock from the shores of Margate. Falling in love with astral projections and visions of Johanna. Jangly rock to soothe the soul, for fans of Jonathan Richman and C86, The Byrds and Big Star.
Poppy Cockburn is a writer living in Margate. She is the author of three slim volumes of poetry with a fourth – Liquid Crystal Lovesick Demon – coming out with Broken Sleep in early 2023. For this event, she will be reading recent poems inspired by the cinema of David Lynch.
£5 ticket, the venue is very small with space for only 35 guests. Book your ticket now to avoid disappointment!
Show starts at 8pm, doors open at 7pm. Make sure you arrive in advance so you can make yourself comfortable and grab food and a drink, if you like.
The cafe serves real Italian sourdough pizza with choice of vegan and gluten-free options. The bar serves a selection of affordable high quality Italian wines you won’t find anywhere else.
Access to both performance area and bar is via narrow stairs. Seating available at both tables and on sofas.
