Going Down Swinging invites you to swing by for 'In full swing' on Friday 25 May from 6pm to 9pm at the Rokeby Studio's in Collingwood for a night of readings and performances from Fury, Soreti Kadir and Andy Jackson, MC’d by past editor Geoff Lemon.

They are partnering with Melbourne Spoken Word & Poetry Festival to toast the inaugural MSWPF and celebrate Going Down Swinging’s 39-year history of publishing digital, print and audio anthologies and producing special, sold-out live events. 

Entry includes one back issue of Going Down Swinging.

There will also be a raffle, so bring your gold coins for a bit of fun. There will be a cash bar to purchase drinks at cheap prices. 

The ambitious and curiously elongated Going Down Swinging #38 will be making an appearance at the book stand. There'll also be stacks of hard-to-come-by back issues for you to get your grubby paws into.

Rokeby studios is an 8 minute walk from Collingwood Station or a 10 minute walk from the number 12 and 109 trams. 

All ages are welcome and this event is wheelchair accessible.

You must purchase a ticket for this event. Tickets are $15 (not-for-profit).

This event is sponsored by Rokeby Studios and Sample Brew.
