Denny Goodwin joins the growing list of artists performing at Tapas y Stray's in 2010.

Danny's relaxed guitar style makes him a popular choice, whether playing by a second semi-accoustic guitar or muted trumpet.

In case you wondered, one of the many benefits of working with books, is the opportunity to get your hands on some truly great pieces of literature from all spectrums. Our reviews section has been put together by the team in the bookshop and we hope you find something you can enjoy from the list. All the books are available either in stock or to order from the shop...

• Hunting Evil by Guy Walters Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele, Klaus Barbie……. Some of the Nazis who survived the second world war have become almost as infamous as their one-time masters in Berlin. They were hunted down in the end – but rarely with the determination their crimes warranted.
• Mad World by Paula Byrne A refreshingly different biography of Evelyn Waugh and the origins of Brideshead Re-visited.
  The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill In the slave ships to hear your own name spoken was momentous – it affirmed your humanity. A hugely impressive historical novel centred on the slave trade – vivid characters and fascinating detail.

When does a teenager become an adult?

...that immortal question!

Due to the demand we are getting from young adults who want something a bit more edgy and interesting than the Harry Potter et al, we have picked some cracking titles that we feel will keep them reading. Authors like PC Cast, Sarra Manning and Jenny Valentine lead the field and adults can read and enjoy them too (and are doing so!)

Just ask at the shop and we'll gladly show you our latest range of Teenage Titles...
