The Brook Green Literary Festival

I noticed in passing a reference to this event in the Evening Standard yesterday. There was a talk by Sebastian Faulks one of my favourite writers and when I googled it I found there had been talks by writers such as Piers Paul Read and Michael Holroyd.There didn't appear to be any mention of it on this site and I didn't see any publicity for it locally. Was it an invitation only affair?

It was organised by Holy Trinity Church in Brook Green and they have done at least one similar festival in previous years. It doesn't seem to have the profile of the Chiswick Book Festival run at the same time but perhaps that is deliberate - small venue and some pretty big names which guarantees tickets will sell out by word of mouth.
