23 Catalyst Club goes Cuddly

Amidst the grease and noise, cogs and catastrophes three speakers revel in the lovely things of life. We celebrate the joys of custard, computer games and hedgehogs with Dr Ewan Kirkland, who lectures in media studies at the University of Brighton, Howie Watkins, broadcaster and “Performance Biologist”, and Rebecca Powell-Tuck, who points out she is a housewife, not a scientist.

All three are utterly charming, all have dug deep for this evening, and all found gold.

Thursday 23 February
8pm
Latest Music Bar, 14-17 Manchester Street, Brighton, BN2 1TF
