The Oldest Sport: a literary celebration of wrestling and boxing June 30th 2018 at Rich Mix Bringing together some of the UK's finest novelists, poets and academics, this event celebrates the world's oldest sports, wrestling and boxing, in literature.

A strange, balmy, intimate and fun night. A chance to celebrate fight sports, something ive always been around, very passionate about, with other poets and writers who share that love. It felt very much like a disparate but unified group of artists playing with the same material, often tangential and weird, and so really beautiful for that. A wee bit quiet, being world cup and summer times, but perhaps better for that, being notably ours. Some great performances worth watching up here http://www.theenemiesproject.com/pugilistica/

and a couple of my photos below, ive been spending lots of my summer learning to shoot on film
