SUMMARY:FOLK LONDON LAUNCH
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the launch of FOLK\, the prize-nominated debut novel by Stef Macbeth. Author Emma Warren (Dance Your Way Home\, Faber) will be in conversation with Stef about this powerful story of youth\, community\, and what happens when the places we call home disappear. \nEmma Warren is one of the UK’s leading writers on youth culture and club culture. Her research explores how music and youth organisations shape identity and belonging\, and her forthcoming book on youth clubs will be published by Faber & Faber. She brings unique insight to FOLK’s exploration of 1990s Britain\, when youth culture found both freedom and fallout. \nFOLK captures the moment when a youth group becomes home for Mark and his friends – until Jason arrives and everything fractures. Set against the backdrop of the Criminal Justice Act and underground music culture\, it’s a story about belonging\, loyalty\, and finding your path when everything you thought you knew falls apart. \nThe launch takes place as part of photographer Yushy’s exhibition for Section 63: Underground & Unmasted – Documenting Underground London Raves\, creating a powerful dialogue between FOLK’s historical fiction and contemporary documentation of underground culture. \n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n			\n		Select options	\n		This product has multiple variants.

SUMMARY:FOLK BERLIN LAUNCH
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the launch of FOLK\, the prize-nominated debut novel by Stef Macbeth\, at Sound Metaphors’ new Neukölln premises. This fiercely independent Berlin record shop and party crew embodies the underground spirit that runs through FOLK – the DIY ethics and authentic spaces where music culture thrives. \nStef will be in conversation with fellow Velocity Press author Paul Hanford (Coming To Berlin\, Lost & Sound podcast)\, exploring FOLK’s themes of youth\, belonging\, and what happens when underground communities fracture. Between conversations\, Stef and Paul will be playing records that connect to the book’s musical journey – from 1990s UK rave culture to today’s Berlin underground. \nFOLK captures a pivotal moment when youth culture met political resistance in 1990s Britain. Set around a youth group that becomes home until everything falls apart\, it’s a story about finding your tribe\, losing your certainties\, and the spaces where we become ourselves. \nThis intimate evening reflects the record shop culture and underground community spaces that FOLK celebrates – where music\, conversation\, and connection happen naturally\, away from the mainstream. \n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n			\n		Select options	\n		This product has multiple variants.
