NRA is a mixture of poetry, writers of non-fiction and fiction, comedy and music. If you want to find something new come along.

Chris T-T is headlining. A brilliantly creative musician, he's currently blogger in residency at The Royal Pavilion & Museums.

I highly recommend checking out his website to learn more about his latest projects.

In addition to beguiling us all with his troubador behaviour, Chris will also be talking to us about freedom of expression in songwriting. To give you some idea of his range, Chris has written about everything from the state of the NHS to the children's stories of A.A. Milne. You can find a TEDx talk he did here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaQyW30a_Ng

In addition to these speakers, Oxford neuroscientist Jonathan Webb, a contestant in this year's FameLab, will be presenting a talk on what sound does to the brain.

All in all, this is going to be a very entertaining and educational night for anyone with an interest in sound, writing and music.
