Blackwell's played host to the launch of Socrates Adams' debut novel on Friday.
Crispin Best, Chris Killen and Joe Stretch read from their latest work before Socrates took to the stage, while host and Blackwell's deputy manager Ian Carrington tried his best to embarrass them all by reading their recent tweets.
Thanks to everyone who came down, listened so attentively, bought a book, or got one signed - and a special thanks to everyone who contributed to the 200 empty bottles of beer as seen in the picture below. You can also see our youngest attendee paying absolutely no attention to Socrates reading from Everything's Fine.
More events like this are planned for the future. Watch READER! READ FASTER! for more.
I'm thoroughly gutted that I missed this, from what I hear and see pretty much every writer and enthused reader in Manchester made it there!
