Launch Night: Paul Robert Mullen’s #ItsAllComeDownToThis
Royales, Lord Street, Southport
29 January | Doors Open at 7 PM
This isn’t just a book launch; it’s a night of raw talent, live music, and unapologetic creativity in the heart of Southport. Paul Robert Mullen’s latest collection, #ItsAllComeDownToThis, hits with the kind of urgency poetry needs right now—stark, unflinching, and deeply human.
Joining Paul are Alan Parry and Robert Sheppard, whose introduction to the collection sets the stage for its electric resonance. The evening will also feature an open mic session for poets and performers to bring their voices to the mix.
Expect:
🎤 Poetry readings that hit you where it hurts (and heals).
🎶 Live music that keeps the energy buzzing.
📚 A Q&A with Paul and a chance to grab a signed copy of the collection.
