Sheraws and Chris Essex: A London based duo of spoken word, electronics and live bass guitar. We saw them at Intox Extravaganza and thought they were great.

The Complaints Department will be sending an operative to the Spirit of Gravity event to receive your complaints. On arrival you will be given a complaint card to fill out. Have your complaint ready. Our operative will be entering these into the machine so the data can be processed. Be warned, this process involves some high volume and is not without complications.
The Complaints Department believes that by airing your grievances you can become a more productive human.
