with special guest Lateral G
Political, quirky and authentic, our special guest Lateral G tells stories of life from her downwardly mobile perspective, with wry observations on society, ageing, and the general impossibility of living well in a capitalist system. A nomadic traveller, she lives on the road and has recently returned from a solo winter in southern Europe for a spring and summer of poetry events, festivals and slams all over the North and as far south as the Midlands.
