The Golden Hour
The Holiday BarnStormer!
The Holiday Barnstormer -
Not Just Another Night of Spoken Word!
Over the past year The Golden Hour has earned a reputation as the
best places to find brilliant new writers, amazing live music, and all
manner of video rubbish all inside a beautiful space.
December 19th we have:
Robert Alan Jamieson: reading from his new book published by Luath
Press. With Slides.
Ben Lancaster: Canadian Based, Swiftian-Minded satire live via
Satellite. An early Christmas present for those who love a tart wit.
Jason Morton: Holiday flashes of fiction. Like a tree caught on fire.
The Forest Choir: A bit o' the jingle jangle. Bring your bells and
get ready to belt out your favourites in a sing-a-long.
Kevin Molloy: writes songs: some of them humorous, others thoughtful,
generally winsome. And wine-fueled. Plays lots of acoustic nights in
London and was a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe.
+
The Meth Minute: 60 second cartoons that are, literally, laugh out
loud funny. Are you ready for a talking ram?
+
Diddly Squat: 5 piece reggae band playing and sweating the night
away.

Patti Plinko and her Boy
a very special night: November 29. 8pm
"LIKE A MAD FUCKING DORIS DAY MEETS PJ HARVEY" - Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls)
Following a very successful week at the Edinburgh Fringe where she was
spotted in the Spiegel Garden by Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls)
and invited to perform solo and in a duet with her at her variety night
at 99 Hanover Street, Patti Plinko has just completed a UK tour with
the Puppini Sisters, playing to her largest audience to date at the
Shepherds Bush Empire. Patti and her Boy were received with great
interest, touching hearts and girdles all over the country, multiplying
their ever-growing fan base every night.
Patti Plinko is described as a seductive, heady mix of Billie Holiday
and George Formby trapped inside a tincan while Kate Bush runs off in
search of a can opener. Singing songs of girls in their wonderland and
boys and their Wah! Wah!, prepare to be enchanted by the beautiful
Patti Plinko; a voice like an angel, a heart like a whore. It's
eccentric alt rag and swing consisting of ukuleles, silk stockings and
blood red shoes. Greatly influenced by old European cinema, British
music hall and the satirical unserworld of Berlin Cabaret. Patti will
take the audience into a dark seductive world of yester year.
Flickering illusions accompany the rag and tin tunes that Patti
whispers and woos into hand made tincan grama mics.
a real Do Not Miss Event!
