After Dark Festival: The Chance to Change
Radio 3's After Dark Festival brings The Verb to Sage Gateshead alongside TUSK Music, for poems of change by Tahmina Ali, Mike Garry, Rowan McCabe, John Challis and Kate Fox.
The Equinox is a time of change, and at a special recording for Radio 3's After Dark Festival, The Verb's master of metamorphosis Ian McMillan presents a plethora of poets from Sage Gateshead. Our contribution to this major new live music festival, it's a feast of contemporary, classical and experimental music too and you can find out more searching "After Dark Festival" in 大象传媒 Sounds.
We'll have live performances from Mike Garry bringing a flavour of Manchester to the North East and we'll also be joined by local lad Rowan McCabe - who described his "door-to-door" poetry service as "like the Avon lady but with rhymes." And we'll have a performance from the ever eclectic Kate Fox as well as John Challis and Tahmina Ali.
If you like your poetry live and loud The Verb at the After Dark Festival has got you covered.
