Mik Artistik
2025-08-30 20:00 - 21:30 | Chapel Arts, Basement, St James Memorial Hall, 9 Lower Borough Walls, Bath, Bath & North East Somerset, BA1 1QR, United Kingdom
Mik’s an artist who manages to hypnotise and terrorise in the way that no other does, all whilst making music to save souls, cause confusion and spread genuine hilarity along the way. Who else out there sings about love, mortality, invisible cloaks, Adidas Sambas, and plastic garden ornaments?

His meandering, ad-hoc, flights of fancy are legendary “as is his partner in crime Jonny Flockton’s exquisite guitar playing. He has a chameleon-like ability to bring melody, form and musicianship to the teetering chaos that looms over each performance.

There is a reason that Mik Artistik’s Ego trip have become legendary Glastonbury performers since they first appeared there in 2007 ” for many the festival doesn’t start until they’ve seen them.

The story of how Mik got to this point gives you a sense of where his fearless performances come from. In the early 80’s after art college, he floated around working odd jobs and labouring on building sites. After a period “on the dole” he decided to leave state support behind and live off his wits. His grand plan: to take an ironing board to the Merion shopping centre in Leeds and sell old ties off it. Sadly, this wasn’t the entrepreneurial innovation he hoped it would be. But fate would intervene, and 1982 he drew a friend in a launderette (it was the 80’s,remember) on a paper bag in biro.

He had a talent, and realised he could make it pay.

East & Southeast Asian Heritage Month Celebration
2025-09-01 18:00 - 20:00 | Topping & Company Booksellers of Bath, York Street, Bath, BA1 1NG, United Kingdom
**Topping & Company East & Southeast Asian Heritage Month**

Celebrate East & Southeast Asian (ESEA) Heritage Month with Toppings and listen to a panel of three powerhouse writers: Anna Sulan Masing, Katie Goh and Alice Mah. They will discuss their new books, Chinese and Any Other Asian, Foreign Fruit, and Red Pockets. Head chef of London’s Sambal Shiok and writer, Mandy Yin, also joins for a cookery demo – including tasters – and a signing alongside the panel speakers.

Chinese and Any Other Asian by Anna Sulan Masing:

This is a must-read for anyone interested in the makeup of their multicultural society.

Asian food is mocked as unhealthy and Asian restaurants as dirty. ESEA women are exoticised and sexualised, and assumed to be the nanny of their mixed-race children. The ESEA community was scapegoated for the Covid-19 pandemic. Here, Masing explores what it means to be East & Southeast Asian in Britain today and celebrates the varied experiences that make up ESEA identity.

Foreign Fruit by Katie Goh:

‘A sharp-sweet memoir of change, identity and hybridity. I loved it’ KATHERINE MAY, author of Wintering

The orange we know, waxed in vats, gathered in red netting and stacked in supermarket displays, is not the same orange that grew from the first straggling orange grove that took root on the Tibetan plateau, part pomelo and part mandarin. The orange is a souvenir of history. Goh explores the orange as a means of understanding the world, and herself within it. What she finds is a world of violence, colonialism, resilience, survival, adaptation – and of unexpected beauty and sweetness against all odds.

Red Pockets by Alice Mah:

During the Qingming Festival, people return to their villages in China to sweep their ancestors’ tombs, making offerings to prevent them from becoming hungry ghosts of misfortune. Yet for the past century, a time ruptured by war and revolution, many tombs have been left unattended. Mah returns to her family’s rice village and discovers that her ancestors are almost forgotten; there are no tombs left to sweep. Instead, there are incalculable clan debts to be paid. What do we owe to past and future generations? What do we owe to the places that we inhabit?

Mah’s research on pollution gives way to growing eco-anxiety in a crisis of spiritual belief.

Simply Malaysian by Mandy Yin:

Inspired by how Malaysians eat at home and ‘economy rice’ eateries, where you can help yourself to a generous plate of delicious food at any time of day, as well as favourites from her family kitchen, Mandy Yin presents a collection of over 80 everyday recipes that are quick and easy to make.

Simply Malaysian is a collection of classic and modern dishes that can be whipped up in no time, with minimal ingredients. Whether it’s One Pot Chicken Rice, Sambal Aubergines, Black Pepper Beef or Spicy Tomato Prawns, these resourceful recipes are designed for every night of the week.

Anna Sulan Masing is a writer, poet & academic based in London and the co-founder and EIC of Sourced, a public research project, and of Cheese: The Magazine of Culture.

Katie Goh is a writer and editor. Her award-nominated essays, journalism and criticism have appeared in the Guardian, Gutter, Wasafiri, Dazed and gal-dem. Her book The End: Surviving the World Through Imagined Disasters was a Reviewer’s Choice for The Big Issue‘s Independent Books of 2021.

Alice Mah is a writer and Professor of Urban and Environmental Studies at the University of Glasgow. Her award-winning research focuses on toxic pollution and environmental justice, the subjects of her books.

Mandy Yin is Malaysian-born Chinese of Peranakan Nyonya heritage from Kuala Lumpur. She owns and runs Sambal Shiok Laksa Bar and is regularly featured in the national press and on BBC’s Saturday Kitchen.

A Guide to Sobriety: No Lost Causes Club with Lauren McQuistin
2025-09-01 19:00 - 21:00 | Topping & Company Booksellers of Bath, York Street, Bath, BA1 1NG, United Kingdom
Become a member of the No Lost Causes Club and join Lauren McQuistin, the author behind the wildly popular Instagram account @brutalrecovery, as she takes us through her honest, compassionate, and characteristically funny guide to recovery and sobriety.

‘A stunning, seriously sick and profoundly well work. I love the intricacies of sanity, and how it can look so crazy. This book had me laughing and crying. Truly brilliant’ MARGARET CHO

‘This book is not just about sobriety or just about recovery; it is an invitation to hope’ SHON FAYE

When she was told that her life expectancy could be as low as twenty-five if she did not stop drinking, Lauren felt absolutely nothing – then the sparks of despair. How was she here? Surely, sobriety was for middle-aged divorcees who’d lost everything, not young, struggling singers who didn’t have anything to lose in the first place? Besides, when alcohol is the only medicine that makes the world feel bearable, how can you possibly stop taking it?

Six years later, Lauren has found her way to an intricate answer. Entwining practical, empathetic suggestions with intimate memoir, No Lost Causes Club is an intrinsically vulnerable and brutally honest exploration of what living a full life after you get clean looks like. From delving into the social complexities that often leave people hopelessly dependent on alcohol, to centring the struggles of those newly navigating sobriety, this book is a soothing balm for anyone wondering how to carve a beautiful life from a world that never made sense before.

Stephen Grosz of The Examined Life discusses Love's Labour
2025-09-01 19:00 - 21:00 | Topping & Company Booksellers of Bath, York Street, Bath, BA1 1NG, United Kingdom
The Examined Life, the bestselling debut from psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz, was about learning how to live; his new book, Love’s Labour, is about learning how to love.

When it comes to love, why do we find things so difficult? Drawing on over forty years of candid and surprising conversations with his patients, Stephen Grosz asks, what gets in the way of our falling in love – And what must we do to stay there?

In the intimate space of the consulting room, we meet the woman who can’t post her wedding invitations but then, decades later, can’t decide whether to get divorced; the friendship group that explodes when an adulterous affair begins; and the man whose partner’s death is almost too much to bear.As an analyst, Grosz’s unerring ability is to locate what ails the heartsick. As a writer, he elegantly shows how we can deploy the agonies of love as tools for understanding.

The labour of love is the work of a lifetime but in finally learning to see ourselves and our world clearly, we find we are truly ready to love one another.

Stephen Grosz is a practicing psychoanalyst. Born in America, he was educated at the University of California, Berkeley, and at Oxford University, and now lives in London. His Number One Sunday Times bestseller, The Examined Life, has been translated into more than thirty languages. He lives in London.

Arifa Akbar for Wolf Moon: A Woman's Journey into the Night
2025-09-02 19:00 - 21:00 | Topping & Company Booksellers of Bath, York Street, Bath, BA1 1NG, United Kingdom
‘Had me entranced from start to finish . . . an absolute joy’ – Lucy Atkins, author of Windmill Hill

‘A deft, rich and intimate exploration of darkness in all its varied guises’ – Annabel Abbs, author of Sleepless

‘Truthful, lyrical and unforgettable’ – Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

The night is a time of darkness and nightmares, fear and vulnerability, especially for women. And, yet, it is another world, full of beauty and possibility, too.

After the sun goes down, insomnia and sleep paralysis do threaten. But some have always walked the nocturnal landscapes, with more or less confidence. Others have worked, night shifts and hidden night work: nurses, security guards, sex workers. And some have found solace in the darkness, from queer rave culture to religious pre-dawn traditions.

From dusk through to day, Arifa Akbar elegantly explores how the night shapes our bodies, minds and cultures. A personal and artistic journey from fear and into hope, Wolf Moon embraces the dark before bringing us, once more, into the light.

Arifa Akbar is chief theatre critic for the Guardian. She has previously been literary editor at the Independent, as well as a news reporter and arts correspondent. She has served as a trustee on the boards of the Orwell Foundation and English PEN. She is currently a fellow of the London Centre for the Humanities. Her first book, Consumed: In Search of my Sister, was shortlisted for the Costa Book Awards, PEN Ackerley Prize and Jhalak Prize, and it was longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize. Wolf Moon is her second book.

James Fox for Craftland: A Journey Through Britain's Lost Arts and Vanishing Trades
2025-09-02 19:00 - 21:00 | Bath Elim Church, Charlotte Street, Bath, BANES, BA1 2ND, United Kingdom
Britain has always been a craft land. For generations what we made with our hands defined our identities, built our communities and shaped our regions. Craftland chronicles the vanishing skills and traditions that once governed every aspect of life on these shores.

Travelling the length of Britain, from the Scilly Isles to the Scottish Highlands, James Fox seeks out the country’s last remaining master craftspeople. Stepping inside the workshops of blacksmiths and wheelwrights, cutlers and coopers, bell-founders and watchmakers, we glimpse not only our past but another way of life – one that is not yet lost and whose wisdom could shape our future.

For as long as there are humans, there will be craft. It is all around us, hiding in plain sight, enriching even the most modest things. And in this increasingly digital age, it is perhaps more valuable than ever. Craftland is a celebration of that deeply necessary connection between our creative instincts and the material world we inhabit, revealing a richer and more connected way of living.

James Fox is an academic and multi-award-winning, BAFTA-nominated broadcaster, known for his many acclaimed BBC documentaries. He is Director of Studies in History of Art at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and Creative Director of the Hugo Burge Foundation, a charity dedicated to supporting the arts and crafts across Britain. He is also the author of the celebrated The World According to Colour: A Cultural History.
