Tom Sastry biography Tom Sastry is political, ironic, emotional, morbid and funny in all the wrong places. His new collection Life Expectancy Begins To Fall is book about people whose retirement plan is dying in the climate wars and whose current plan is pretending everything is fine. It was described by Jonathan Edwards as the most important and certainly the most entertaining book about the end of the world Ive yet found Tom's previous books have been (variously) Poetry School Book of the Year, Poetry Book Society pamphlet choice, highly commended in the Forward Prize and shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney First Collection Prize.

Holly Carter is a singer-songwriter and multi-award-winning instrumentalist, one of Bristol's leading fingerstyle guitarists, and one of the UK's only professional female pedal steel players. Ahead of the release of her full-length album "Leave Your Mark" later this year, Holly is bringing an exclusive sneak peek to El Rincon in the form of an intimate duo show with guitarist Joe Wilkins. The evening will be split into two halves: the first will revisit older tracks, fan favourites, and some new instrumental arrangements, while the second will feature the new album played in full for the very first time. Holly and Joe will also discuss everything involved in the making of the album, from the recording methods used to the inspiration behind the artwork. This is a unique opportunity to hear these songs in a stripped-back setting, well in advance of their official release, learn more about the stories behind them and get your hands on some brand new merch (some of it hand-printed by Holly herself!).
