Well, the Word and Sound is back as part of the first ever Worcestershire Literary Festival, we're holding an evening of Midsummer Madness on Friday, 24th June in the Cellar Bar at Worcester Arts Workshop, time 7.30pm for an 8.00pm start, and if you're a poet, story-teller, acoustic musician and would like a slot come along on the night to sign up, slots are 5 mins/3 poems for spoken worders and 10 mins for musicians, though please always bring extra. It's £5 or £3 for performers. Address is to the left of this post.
Also at the Worcester Arts Workshop are two family-friendly poetry workshops with local poets Sarah James and Jenny Hope. These are part of the Worcestershire Literary Festival, the first "When Daddy fell into the pond" (or was he pushed - sorry) is this Sunday, 10.00 - 11.30, cost is £2 in advance or £3 on the door. You could make a day of it and stay on for Worcester Arts Workshop's monthly Lazy Sunday and relax with a glass of wine or beer, sumptuous food and listen to music from local DJs and bands. Free entry
The second family-friendly workshop is on Saturday 18th June, 2.00-3.30, and is called "In the Family Tree." Cost is also £2 in advance and £3 on the door.
And don't tell her we've told you, well go one then, but Sarah James, one of the aforementioned Workshop Poets is one of ten talented poets shortlisted for the Bard of Worcestershire.
