‘Tilt can always be trusted upon to set the space for spoken word, top notch poets, DJ's and the people to mix it up. The people that attend are often as interesting to watch as the acts up on stage. Their event London Liming never ceases to amaze, to inspire and to pull out of the hat the ‘something other’.
