Creatives from across York are set to come together for a night of music, spoken word poetry, comedy and more at an event in the city centre.

Navigators Art and Performance will hold its third event at the Basement, below City Screen off Coney Street, on Saturday, January 27, from 7pm.

Richard Kitchen, one of the group’s founders, describes it as a ‘fluid collective’ bringing together people in York with shared interests in the arts.

On what to expect at the upcoming event he told The Press: “Good music, good words, good laughs.”

Tickets are priced at £10, which goes towards funding the event and paying the artists.

The Basement gig follows a folk night the group held at the Black Swan in Peasholme Green earlier this month.
