<p>September 11th 7.30pm </p> <p>The official launch of Peter Knaggs’ amazing new collection “My Blue Suede Shoes Are at the Cleaners”.<br /> We will have Peter reading from his new collection, our first One Hat Q and A with Peter, special book offers and a pre gig film show.<br /> We’ve also got music from the legendary and brilliant Guy Gibson.</p> <p>As you’d expect from Peter this isn’t just a collection of poems. It’s a story of pain and angst, but also a story of strength and spirit and told with Peter’s trademark wit, humour and general all-round brilliance.</p> <p>How do we cope when faced with indiscriminate victimisation? How do we deal with arbitrary persecution? This is an amazing and heartbreaking tale of a personal battle against harassment and discrimination, but it’s a tale that glimmers with hope and burns with defiance.<br /> Peter’s personal battle reveals the horrendous impact of unchecked power on decent folk and the injustice and exploitation it permits. Never has there been a more relevant and frightening analogy for the modern times than this collection.</p>
