Common Ground: Live at VFDalston
An evening of words, music, and movement in support of The Common Press
Join us at VFDalston for a night that celebrates the power of queer voices and collective joy. We're gathering our community for an evening of live music, spoken word, and DJ sets, all to support The Common Press, a vital queer bookshop, café, and community space that needs a little extra love right now.
This isn’t your usual open mic. It’s a curated night of artistry, expression, and connection—with a few on-the-night sign-up slots for those feeling brave and inspired.
Featuring:
- LAKY – Singer-songwriter with a voice that cuts deep and lyrics that heal, fresh from their award-winning musical and gearing up for their next chapter.
- Eden J Howells – Alt-folk-rock rising star bringing raw emotion, melody, and an ever-growing fanbase.
TRIBE - A Black, trans-led performance duo consisting of Oduenyi Nwike and Wura Kareem. They blend vocals, movement, and live improvisation to create raw, genre-defiant soundscapes.
+ more surprises and DJs spinning joy ‘til late
Expect:
→ Powerful performances from some of London’s most exciting voices
→ Limited open mic spots for spontaneous brilliance
→ A chance to give back to a space that gives so much to our community
