Upcoming Event: Celebrate 5 years of Poets and Players

Saturday 23rd January 2010, 2:30pm - Saturday 23rd January 2010

Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester

‘passionate and broad-minded’ ~ ‘mix of different arts means that there is a real sense of event’ ~ ‘wholly brilliant’ ~ ‘beautiful venue’ ~ ‘drawing big (sometimes huge) crowds’ Poets and Players, www.poetsandplayers.co.uk, is known for its imaginative programming of established poets and musicians who perform alongside newer writers.

Originated by Linda Chase with Chris Davies, Poets and Players began 5 years ago in Didsbury, but was soon invited to put on events in Whitworth Art Gallery and other venues across Manchester. To celebrate 5 years, the team of poets who work behind the scenes will perform with Musical Director Chris Davies. Poets: Linda Chase, Jeffrey Wainwright, Alicia Stubbersfield, Kathryn de Belle, Caroline Hawkridge, Keith Lander, Tim Philips, Edmund Prestwich, Andrew Rudd and Joy Winkler.
