I'm also delighted to announce that on Friday 4th November The Dial up will be hosting the launch of the newly refurbished Watford Central Library, and to mark the occasion every performer will receive a free book!

Thank you so much to Attico and its wonderful team, led by Andrew and Susan, for hosting The Dial Up since January. It's been an amazing journey, we've had such fun together celebrating community and creativity in our inimitable way in such a beautiful space.
