If literary nights were only as good as their hosts, then Jazz Verse Jukebox’s Jumoke Fashola would outshine them all. She’s a Peckham-based Nigerian goddess with a singing voice that booms gloriously around Hoxton Hall and a devilish diva attitude to match. Her house band are the absolute kings of improvisation, who always get their accompanying music spot on – even when tasked with conjuring up a tune that captures ‘waiting in a really really long library queue’. Bring your poems and songs for the open mic slots and pray you aren’t up after someone super talented.
