of John Rety’s philosophy. John, who passed away last week aged 79, ran the Torriano Meeting House in Kentish Town from 1982 along with his partner Susan Johns, lending his intellect and drive to progressive causes throughout his life.The range of people who have appeared at the Meeting House is too vast to adequately catalogue. Stephen Spender vowed his appearance there a couple of years before he died would be his last ever public reading, while Dannie Abse, Adrian Mitchell and John Hegley have been regulars.
