Kollab - the famous night of music, words and general gorgeousness on a houseboat in Shoreham is returning to its second home: the colourful Ironworks.
Hosted by Katrina Pike and featuring a beautiful lineup of alt folk from Azaria Franco and Brazilian vibes from Marina Decourt.

KOLLAB FEEDBACK

"Wanted to say thank you for a really lovely open mic last night. This morning was the first time I have woken up feeling joyful without and dread dreams in the night for about two weeks. You created a really safe space and welcoming event. Loved your poems and they way you perform them is so engaging and absorbing. Marvellous. Thank you"

"Kollab last night was fab, and you hold the space in such a lovely, relaxed, friendly, helpful, kind, and yet still very organised (!) way. Also, amazing poetry! I've never been to anything like that before. I enjoyed it so much I will definitely be aiming to come to more"
