The story
Join us to celebrate the launch of the inaugural issue of The Love Letter, a new independent literary magazine. This first issue, themed EPHEMERA, brings together poetry, prose, and illustration from emerging writers and artists.
The evening will feature live readings from Nina Lewis, Cameron Dale, James Barnes, K.D. Harbour, and Christine Riggott, alongside live music from Bristol-based artists Oscar Jones and Dogsbody.
Limited first edition copies of the inaugural issue of The Love Letter (only 125 printed) will be available to purchase on the night for £10. A limited number of £15 launch bundles, including entry and a copy of the magazine, will also be available.
DOGSBODY - The brainchild of Mimi Jones, whose songwriting has been likened to Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith and Mazzy Star, Dogsbody craft honest songs with grungy chord progressions; every note is purposeful and every lyric deliberate. Mimi’s jazz-imbued vocals and raw delivery bring the songs into their most intimate form.
OSCAR JONES - is a Bristol-based folk songwriter known for his earnest and sophisticated songs. He and his band create a raw wall-of-sound with janky guitars and naive sing-alongs. FFO Tom Waits, Michael Hurley, Belle and Sebastian.
