A brand new festival showcasing local poets
and musicians and introducing poets and writers from
Kingston Writing School.
Featuring Roger McGough - That Awkward Age - an evening of poems to amaze and delight!
Roger McGough wrestles with mortality,
seeks love in the launderette and jives in Macca's
trousers. He shares the pain of Lord Godiva
and Mr Nightingale, considers his final poem
and shakes a fist at Alzheimer's.
Addresses, elegies and ever perceptive playfulness
make this a must-not-miss.
'the patron saint of poetry' Carol Anne
Duffy
'a poemy torch in dark corners' Ian
McMillan, Poetry Review
Music from LiTTLe MACHiNe, who set poems
both classic and obscure to music - Keats, Donne,
Larkin and more... all get the same
treatment. Walter Wray has spent a lifetime hollering the blues and crooning tunes as a solo artist and in
bands such as Junk and King Swamp. Steve Halliwell was also in King Swamp and a session
musician in the post-punk world of Shriekback and other arthouse denizens. Chris Hardy is a
prize-winning poet and experienced folk-blues guitarist and song-writer. www.little-machine.com
