International Alternative Press Festival announces final events line up, benefit gig

Here’s the full, final rundown of events at the International Alternative Press Festival in London, which begins at the end of  May. We’ve mentioned some of this before but the project deserves as many plugs as it can get…

The Festival opens on Friday 27th May at the Miller in London Bridge for a live draw/music/spoken word performance with Resonance FM’s Radio Orchestra.

On Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th May the Main Fair will take place at London’s Conway Hall; two days showcasing Comix, Comics, Zines, Artist’s Books, Print- Making and Radical Literature, as well as screen printing and DIY fashion workshops, talks and  lots more from home and abroad.
