THE FESTIVE SPECIAL!

Hannah O’Reilly & [AWRY] Psychegaelic Ceilidh
After an excellent launch and a superb
second album (both attracting sell-out crowds); a one-off special for West Port
Book festival featuring award-winning short story writers, new poetry,
punk-rock guitars and some exceptionally bendy physical theatre, Rally &
Broad is back for the festive season.
Presenting...
TIM TURNBULL: Tim Turnbull's poems
appear in Identity
Parade: New British and Irish Poets (ed R. Lumsden) now available
from Bloodaxe.
He is a former Forward Prize nominee and author of several collections
including the award-winning theatre/ poetry collection Caligula On Ice (Donut
Press, 2006.)
CHURCH OF WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN: The
harbinger of the end of all things as prophesised in the Book of Revelations
3:18: Or, the only defence protecting humanity against the majestic and awesome
forces that hover outside a merely thin hymen 'twixt dimensions awaiting any
chance to crush us out of existence. Depends who ye ask…
SOPHIA WALKER: Multi-award winning slam
poet. Adopted Edinburger, Washington-born, performed everywhere. She’s also one
of Scotland on Sunday’s Eligible Folk 2012. Oo-er…
KATH MCMAHON with FIONA KEENAN: poem-songs from
this newly formed duo.
HANNAH O’REILLY: Beautifully raunchy,
punk-folk tunes with a lyrical twist.
AND…. [AWRY] Psychegaelic Ceilidh! – That’s
right. A ceilidh. At a spoken word cabaret. That’s how we roll…
Hosted by award winning poet and promoter Jenny
Lindsay (The Big Word/ Is This Poetry?/ BBC Slam Winner 2012) & Rachel
McCrum (BBC Slam finalist 2012/ Stewed Rhubarb Press/ Inky Fingers).
