We are pleased to announce that Paula Cocozza has been added to the lineup for the launch of Darren Hayman’s Thankful Villages Vol.2. She’ll be introducing and reading from her debut novel How to be Human, which, centring on the relationship between a woman and her neighbourhood fox, has been met with rave reviews since its publication a couple of weeks ago. This reading comes in addition to previously announced appearances from Luke Turner, Spaceship Mark, DJ Frances Castle and MC John Andrews, as well as, of course, a live set from Darren. You can find more information here.

Tickets for this event, which takes place on Friday 26 May, are already running very low, and we recommend booking as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. You can do so here.

Thankful Villages Vol. 2 is available to preorder both physically and digitally. Woodend, the single from the album, is available for instant download.
