THE LONDON Irish Centre was the venue for the launch of a special London themed issue of the Dublin based literary magazine The Stinging Fly, which has been publishing new writers and new writing since 1998.
The London issue looks at how different Irish writers have adopted the city as their home and how it has inspired their work. It also showcases exciting new work about the city.
The evening featured a lively mix of stories, poems, music and reminiscences—featuring contributions from Gavin Corbett, Danny Denton, Martina Evans, Maurice Leitch, Patrick McCabe, Niamh Mulvey and Declan Ryan.
