See you soon, The TOM Team // info@theoldmarket.com

devendra banhart

Devendra Banhart appears at TOM as part of his spring tour. Mala, Banhart’s eighth studio album, was recorded in his then-home in Los Angeles. (He now resides in New York City.) He and Georgeson played most of the instruments themselves, using borrowed equipment and a vintage Tascam recorder they’d found in a pawn shop. “One of the more talented and charismatic forces in modern music” Pitchfork

did i mention the free wine?

As life has progressed to the 21st Century, society has seen and experienced many changes, inventions and a whole new perspective on life. We now hang out in cyberspace with ‘Google’ or ‘Skype’ as the location. iTopia is a collection of thoughts and ideas depicting the effects these developments are having on human nature. “Superb acting... the cream of the acting talent in Sussex,” What’s on Stage, 2012.

Felix Dennis, one of Britain’s best- loved poets, is setting out on a 30- date poetry reading tour to launch his seventh book of verse, ‘Love, Of A Kind’. The tour will bring fine French wine and poetry to audiences nationwide. Felix Dennis has established himself as one of the most popular and critically acclaimed poets of recent times. “Felix Dennis is the real thing. I love reading his verse and you will, too” Stephen Fry.
