Michael Horovitz is one of the great British eccentrics, always guaranteed to entertain, with his distinctive plastic trumpet (which he was playing long before vuvuzelas came on the scene), and his own imitable poetry performance style. Now aged 75, but still as witty and politically excoriating as ever, he is one of the last living links to the beat generation.

He became widely known upon his appearance at the International Poetry Incarnation at the Royal Albert Hall on June 11 1965, alongside Allen Ginsberg and Alexander Trocchi.

Also on the bill is comedy Norfolk poet William Cake, with a poem about - guess what - Norfolk.
