The Young Offenders Institute (but not as you may know it!)

7 - 11pm

The Young Offenders Institute will be installing a table tennis table in The Pit (gallery space) at the FleaPit for an evening of beer, music and ping pong.

We’ll supply the bats & balls and we’ve a few tricks up our sleeves to make sure everyone has a fair chance.

There'll be a prize from The FleaPit's amazing range of micro brewed beers , organic wines and tantalising juices for the winner of each game.

Spectators and players alike will be kept entertained by DJs serving up a wide variety of music - nothing too clever, just great tunes with a certain bounce.

So even if you haven’t played since your youth club days - or since you last served time on remand - join us for a game of round the table.

We’ll have a rotating line-up of DJs serving up music to play ping pong to. That means a whole range of genres, just as long as it’s got some bounce to it.

Our favourite ping pong soundtrack
at the moment would include...
Spank Rock, !!!, Stevie Wonder, Modeselektor, Justice, Dr John, Kinks, Box Tops, Black Keys, The Free Design, Stone Roses, Jurassic 5, Lovin Spoonful, Jackie Wilson, Upsetters, Lee Moses, Reigning Sound, Come Ons, Detroit Cobras, Daptones, Primal Scream, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, New Mastersounds, Death From Above

London Poetry Systems

London Poetry Systems is a new London-based - but web-wide - poetry project.



Online Videos by Veoh.com

We aim to bring all kinds of poets and media forms together under one roof to explore the possibilities of poetry today. We provide an intimate space where experimental fusions can take shape and develop through collaboration; so that they may be enjoyed by a diverse audience.

The focal point of LPS is our site londonpoetrysystems.com
Here we will be posting fresh poems and articles regularly.

We do this because we want to introduce or perhaps remind people about some of the remarkable things that are happening, and have happened, in the worlds of poetry, spoken word, digital poetry and sound poetry.
