Cafe Kino is a not-for-profit, and completely unfunded, arts space.

We are committed to supporting DIY arts and grassroots activism, and aim to work with promoters, groups, organisations, and individuals who share the qualities, outlooks and values that are important to us.

The events side of Cafe Kino (as well as other areas of the co-op) rely heavily on the voluntary time and effort given by our staff, who work hard to bring you a programme that we are very proud of.

ACCESSIBILITY

We are proud to be an all-ages venue. There are no age restrictions on any events at Cafe Kino unless otherwise stated.

The main entrance to the cafe is step-free and on the ground floor. However, most events take place in the basement area. Unfortunately, due to building restrictions, this space is only accessible by stairs.

Pete Simonelli
+ Insect Ark

8.30pm - 10.30pm
£4

After Enablers visit to the Cube in October, the vocalist PETE SIMONELLI from the San Francisco quartet returns for an intimate spoken word performance at Cafe Kino.

This show will see Pete reading from his new book 'One Brittle Nerve' and sharing new works. A native Californian, Pete spent eighteen formative years in San Francisco, documenting, observing, drinking, reading, loving, betraying, working, and writing... he moved east in 2008 and now makes his home in Brooklyn, New York.

Expect winding tales from the noir-ish underbelly of the city in Pete's muscular vocal style. Utterly compelling.

Touring with him will be INSECT ARK from New York City. A solo project from Dana Schechter (Bee and Flower, Angels of Light, American Music Club). Drawing from her decidedly more aggressive and experimental musical side, INSECT ARK is composed and performed as an analog-electronic hybrid: one woman, a sampler, a bass, a lap steel, and a keyboard.
