I don’t know about you, but to me Sundays should be about cake and a glass of wine while enjoying some cool poetry and great music – NOT the Antiques Roadshow and thinking about all the emails waiting for you on Monday morning!
So come down to Heart Beats at The Bluecoat this Sunday and help us to go out with bang at our last event of the year on the final night of the Chapter & Verse Lit festival.
There will be free cupcakes, free fanzines, heart-shaped fairy lights and our tiny mp3 player will be playing PJ Harvey, Santogold, Bat for Lashes, Lykke Li, Patti Smith , Suicide, Jeff Buckley, Velvet Underground and more…
Sunday 19 October, 8pm
The Bluecoat (Performance Space)
School Lane, Liverpool.
£5/£3 concessions – book online or pay on the door
Featuring:
Kate Fox
Bradford born Kate Fox is a satirist, poet and stand up performer. Kate wowed the BBC Two’s Daily Politics show in 2007 by performing her poem about the Prime Minister, ‘Un-flash Gordon,’ and cites melodies, memories, sex, death and taxis as being among her influences.
Caroline Bird
Bringing you into a bittersweet world that is fantastical, ferociously vital and savagely humorous, Caroline has performed at Latitude Festival and her collection, ‘Trouble Came to the Turnip’, was published by Carcanet in 2006.
Inua Ellams
With influences as diverse as John Keats and Mos Def, Inua reads poems about ‘Candy Coated Unicorns and Converse Allstars’ and mesmerises audiences with his slow-burning performances.
PLUS: Live rock’n'roll action and sun-drenched melodies from Liverpool band, Emily & the Faves. Like The Breeders on sangria. Check out their stuff on our myspace page!
