Fen Song - Poetry and Music
The Lothbury Centre
Fen Song is a haunting sequence inspired by the East Anglian landscape and in the best tradition of the acoustic ballad.

The result of a collaboration between poet Clare Crossman and singer songwriter Penni McLaren Walker it has been described as 'a meditation on the natural world' 'beautiful' and inspirational'. Penni and Clare perform the 50 minute work live.

The performance is followed by a discussion.

John Cooper Clarke

John Cooper Clarke
Junction 2, The
In a vain attempt at bourgeois credibility, Manchester's sharp-dressed, sharp-delivering punk poet Lenny, changed his name to John Cooper Clarke and embarked on a polysyllabic excursion though Thrillsville.

Clad in the slum chic of the hipster, he issued the slang anthems of the zip age in the desperate esperanto of bop. Expect a mix of hilarious anecdotes of life in a Northern town interspersed with machine-gun fast delivery of some of his best poems.

'If you think poetry is dull and boring, or posh and erudite - you haven't seen JCC!'
