Held on June 6th 2015, in the White Hart, Influx press curated a day of readings evidenced the close knit bonds of London's small press scene, part of which included a reading celebrating Test Centre press. Iain Sinclair, Tom Chivers and SJ Fowler read from their books with Test Centre, before a Q&A, in front of a sold out audience.
Just a few days after the launch of {Enthusiasm}, I had the privilege to read alongside Iain Sinclair and Tom Chivers at the Stoke Newington Literary Festival. Influx press, whom I respect immensely, had been given a day to curate and had invited Test Centre to present three of their authors. So I had the pleasure to read alongside two people who have helped me greatly in my work. Iain was the first to really support my work, extremely early on, months into writing, and Tom has been a consistent champion of my stuff. At certain moments, certain perceptions and realities only become real because you hear them being made so. What Iain said in his slot, about my work, will stay with me as a great treasure for a very long time.
The very first reading from {Enthusiasm}
