Poetry Club

 

I had a great time last week at the Brewery Arts Centre's new Poetry Club. 

This will run on Wednesday evenings several times a year. It is organised by my good friend, Ann Grant who also runs Verbalise, held at the Brewery.

The guest poet was David Viney, who was excellent, with the lovely Trystan Lewis on first. I enjoyed reading for the open mic segment along with several other poets.

There was a good sized audience in the Malt Room and many of us stayed around for drinks afterwards even though it was a week day. An excellent way to spend a Wednesday evening and I'll look forward to the next one later in the year.

Poetry, Song and Dance

I’ve been invited to be the poet for the evening at a charity event on the 25th April, held at the Venue, Kendal.

I'll be reading some of my poems between several glorious sets of uplifting songs from the Fellside singers, finishing off with a ceildh led by the Weirdstring Band, who are always great fun.

The funds generated will go to St John’s Hospice and Cancer Research UK. There is a bar and capacity for up to 150 guests. It will be a fabulous evening! Get your tickets here.
