Amnesty is inviting people to enjoy an evening of poetry and music at Keats House in Hampstead on Thursday 22 November from 7pm.

Performance poet and comedian John Hegley will host the evening and will be joined by fellow poets Sean Mahoney and Shirin Razavian, musicians Diego Brown and the Good Fairy and others, in the house of Romantic poet John Keats in north London.
