About this Event
For one night only, the London Review Bookshop and St. JOHN next door will be transformed into a listening bar, in partnership with Richer Sounds, to mark the release of the fourth and final volume of LRB 45s: great actors reading great poems first published by the LRB, released exclusively on vinyl.
Volume 4 contains new recordings of ‘A Part Song’ by Denise Riley read by Julie Hesmondhalgh, ‘Ski Lift’ by Susan Fromberg Schaeffer read by Denise Gough and ‘The book of my enemy has been remaindered’ by Clive James read by Richard Ayoade. Copies of this, the preceding volumes and specially curated albums will be available to listen to on top-of-the-range turntables and headphones positioned around the shop and café, courtesy of Richer Sounds.
St. JOHN will be on hand with a specially expanded wine list to accompany proceedings, and the Vinyl Factory, who manufactured our records, have provided a special selection of their own releases with a literary edge, which will be available for purchase alongside the LRB 45s.
Please note: doors open at 7 p.m. St. JOHN next door will be open for wine and house cocktails.
