Sylvia Hallett, Sue Ferrar & Stuart Jones will provide a complex & skilled blend of improved musics, while Frances Presley (most recent book the wide-ranging, innovative and well-grounded Myne — New and Selected Poems & Prose 1975–2006 (Shearsman, 2006) + Gavin Selerie (most recent book: the erudite, gorgeous and inventive Lefanu's Ghost (Five Seasons Press, 2006) will read, separately, together, and with the music.

Gavin performed his poems in the 1980s with improvising musicians, including with Sue, Stuart and others, in the second performance of his text STRIP SIGNALS at the London Musicians Collective in 1986 – some of that text will be performed at this event. And see the photo on this profile! Stuart has worked as part of Gentle Fire, Kahondo Style and British Summer Time Ends, and now works at Central St Martins, where his practice is mainly in installation or performative work, but also encompassing linear video and film, and often in collaboration with artists from other disciplines. Sylvia Hallett works both as a composer and as an improviser, and has had pieces performed in Britain and Europe. She has played in many international festivals since the late 1970s, working with several well-known and respected musicians, including Lol Coxhill, Maggie Nicols, Phil Minton, Evan Parker, and the groups Accordions Go Crazy, LaXula, British Summer Time Ends, The London Improvisers Orchestra, and the London Hardingfelelag. She also performs solo, (did a solo tour of Italy), and in duo with Clive Bell. She also works with dance and drama companies (including BBC Radio drama). Sue Ferrar plays violin in the The London Improvisers Orchestra, and is also a member of London Contact Improvisation (with Guillermo Torres), and performs with Primal Fruitcake. She has worked with a wide range of musicians (eg on the CD A Boy Leaves Home Lol Coxhill , Sylvia Hallett, Evan Parker).
