what they say…

“Where others have strived to assert their place on the cultural landscape, renaissance one has drawn its own map, populating its highways and byways with the finest of poets, writers and performers. Audiences have been introduced to illuminating, uplifting and thought-provoking work which might otherwise have gone unnoticed. The contemporary arts and literature scene would a lot poorer without it.” Nick Barlay, writer

“These evenings are a great way for people to find out about new writers who they might not otherwise come across.”
Undercover magazine

“When my debut novel, Brixton Rock, renaissance One invited me to appear at events and were committed to helping writers who they felt deserved a bigger profile. In 2005 they helped me launch Island Songs and obtained funding for the Jamaican High Commission event that hasn’t been matched in quality and organisation with any other launch.’
Alex Wheatle, novelist
