London Liming offers an enthusiastic and fun-filled event, where people can mix, drink and dance. With a special theme of COMBUSTIFICATION! this unmissable blend of music and spoken word features MOBO Award Winner and Mercury Prize Nominee alto-saxophonist and rapper SOWETO KINCH, and verbal gymnastics and wordplay from acclaimed poets PATIENCE AGBABI and MARK GWYNNE-JONES.

'The Mix of stories and music is fantastic..adds a more emotive and dramatic quality to the readings' Vogue Magazine

SOWETO KINCH is one of the most exciting and versatile young musicians in both the British jazz and hip hop scenes. A graduate in Modern History from Oxford University, he has amassed an impressive list of accolades and awards on both sides of the Atlantic - including a Mercury Music Prize nomination, two UMA Awards and a MOBO for best Jazz Act. In 2007, he won his second MOBO Award where he was announced as the winner in the Best Jazz Act category - fending off stiff competition from the likes of Wynton Marsalis. As a hip hop MC and producer he has supported and performed alongside KRS ONE, Dwele, Mos Def, Rodney P and BBC 1-Xtra's Twin B.
