If you are in the vicinity of Derby in the United Kingdom, then do stop in to The Hairy Dog around 7 PM on December 23rd for some Metal Xmas Mayhem. Among the featured bands will be none other than Skybald — which a lot of folks in the indie lit community will recognize as that of Philippe Atherton-Blenkiron.
The event’s details are featured in the poster below; for more information on Skybald, check out the band’s Facebook page.

falling shards of broken sun
swirl down in citron.
