Join us for a Satellite of Love special!
We’re bringing together poetry, music, and drag for an Evening of Cabaret to raise money for our regular host Aish Humphreys.
Expect trans joy, trans rage, and trans acoustic guitar.
Bristol legend Bridget Hart will be joining the Satellite of Love team for the night to welcome you to this intimate event featuring incredible artists Freddie Lewis, paz, BooHoo Mann & Ifẹ Grillo.
The evening will also feature a raffle full of amazing prizes from queer artists and activists including poetry, art prints, and vouchers for tattoos, photoshoots, and dinner for two.
All proceeds will go directly towards raising funds for Aish’s Top Surgery.
We’re so excited to support him and can’t wait to see you there!
Satellite of Love Poetry and Spoken Word run monthly events, workshops and writing retreats. Our monthly events at the Loco Klub offer a platform for local and touring poets, open mic and our Community Poem.

His live shows are known for their warmth and emotional clarity - intimate performances that feel personal, open, and connected. His work has been supported by BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 1 and BBC Introducing London, and he recently sold out his first headline show since moving to London at The Libra, Camden. His newest EP ‘kiss and run’ has introduced his music to a wider audience, leading into a new chapter of self-produced releases.
