Joe Coghlan is a performance poet and a member of Derbyshire outfit ‘Hello Hubmarine’. His powerful and emotional beat style poem ‘15th December’ is about a young boy who saves a man from committing suicide on a bridge.
Rachel Pennell runs Lucky Fin Productions and gives voice to women written out of history. She will be performing a scene from one of her current plays Chocolateria Hysteria. As France explodes into bloody revolution, Pauline Leon trades in the world’s most seductive substance – chocolate. A compelling and imaginative tale of four women and their struggle for love and liberty.
Al Needham needs little introduction to Nottingham folk. The author of sex blog of the year ‘Todger Talk’ will be giving his very unique view of local life. He is the Editor at LeftLion magazine, alright duckeh…
Open Mic slots are mostly booked in advance but we’ll also sign a few up on the day.
Poetry Bingo is your chance to win the latest books by local authors and publishers so steal your nana’s big red marker pen or better still, bring her down with you and learn how to call out in style.
WORD! Is a Leicester event run by Lydia Towsey and Pam Thompson. They’ll be bringing some of their crew down to give you a taste of other wordy events going on in the East Midlands.
Hhymn are quite simply the best band in Nottingham and have sponsored our literature podcasts Write Lion with their beautiful alternative folk tunes. Expect violins, trumpets, mandolins and a vocal that will melt you to the floor.
