Café Oto, 18-22 Ashwin Street, Dalston, London E8 3DL Admission £6 / £4 (conc.) Out of the ashes of Sundays at the Oto rises Diverse Deeds, Peter Philpott's new London reading series. There is a Facebook group to join, and Peter describes Diverse Deeds thus:

Diverse Deeds is a new series of poetry in music events, each featuring two or three poets and a musician or two. The emphasis is on contemporary innovative poetry and music at least inflected by improvisation. Diverse Deeds succeeds last year’s successful afternoon Sundays at the Oto events, but now with an evening scheduling. No more cake for tea, unfortunately, but there will be information available beforehand and on the night on all the performers.

Sundays at the Oto is dead; long live Diverse Deeds

Peter Philpott:

I am pleased to announce that the poetry and music reading and performance series Sundays at the Oto will be reborn from autumn onwards as Diverse Deeds, held still at Cafe Oto (18-22 Ashwin Street, Dalston, London E8 3DL), but on evenings, mainly it is hoped Thursday or Wednesday, approximately once a month. The first event will have as poets John James and Sean Bonney, on September 24th. Music is yet to be arranged, but will be an element.

Keep an eye on Peter's blog for more information.
