Salena Godden & guests

Salena GoddenNotorious punk poet and raconteur Salena Godden’s short stories and poetry can be found published in myriad of various magazines and anthologies.  Her memoir Springfield Road is due to be published by HarperCollins next Spring.

Salena is also one half of underground, eclectic ska-break band SaltPeter, with musician Peter Coyte.  SaltPeter’s latest album Hunger’s The Best Sauce featured in The Critical List in The Independent On Sunday as one of the most outstanding albums of 2007 and is best described as the belly-rumbling of the skint, the scam, and the walk of shame, the morning after the night before and the fear of the night after that.

She’s also collaborated and jammed with the likes of Alabama 3, Coldcut, Beardyman and Simple Kid to name a few…

Salena has a weekly residency & currently hosts & co-produces The Book Club Boutique, Soho’s new weekly literary salon, featuring the literary cream of page and stage and described by Murray Lachlan Young as ‘Long on talent, short on snobbery, grown up drinks with words you could dance to.’
