Tea at 3 is about the continuous joy and quirkiness of living and writing in Bloomsbury.  This event is FREE as part of the festivities around the Bloomsbury Festival 2011 www.bloomsburyfestival.org.uk, please make sure you reserve a seat as tickets are limited.

 
Published Poets Stephanie Gerra and Wendy Shutler have been wowing spoken word fans in London with their quirky readings for over eight years. Their performances weave together differing perspectives and voices on subjects ranging from quantum physics, to love, sex and gastronomy. All cunningly underpinned by many references to their literary hood; Bloomsbury, and often full to bursting with allusions to nature and the cycles of the seasons as they impinge upon and bring relief from London’s urban roar.

While their exchanges consist on occasion, of pithy erudition and philosophical musings, all of Stephanie and Wendy’s poetic ‘conversations’ are interspersed with and undercut by humour, satire and this time the wild and touching melodies of singer-song-writer Catherine Paver, whose evocative tracks make you feel like you are sitting around a camp fire in the old wild west.

October Gallery will be serving delicious tea and cake in their charming courtyard and gallery cafe.  October Gallery is open from 12:30pm - 5:30pm on Saturday 22nd October.
