Canongate Books and XL Recordings celebrate the life of legendary poet, novelist and hip-hop pioneer Gil Scott-Heron with the launch of his posthumous memoir, The Last Holiday (pictured), at Book Slam at Wilton's Music Hall South London's Clapham Grand venue on January 19. [Please note: venue has changed due to demand.]
A stellar line-up includes poets Salena Godden, Kate Tempest, Ben Mellor and iconic DJs Jamie XX (who reworked Scott-Heron's 2010 album I'm New Here - as We're New Here - in 2011) and Gilles Peterson playing a one-off musical tribute, plus readings and rare and exclusive video footage of the great man.
