Tony Walsh at Latitude Festival. Thick Richard, too.
Watch out Suffolk!
Tony Walsh is at Suffolk's Latitude Festival, alongside such (other) luminaries as John Cooper Clarke and Lemn Sissay.
Tony, a regular supporter of Write out Loud events and its committee, is a stunning stand-up poet. Even when he is sitting down! He was Manchester slam champion and appeared at Glastonbury last year, has caused a sensation at more gigs than any self-respecting stick would throw itself at and is widely published. He is one of my favourite performance poets, and is not to be missed!
Other friends of Write Out Loud appearing at the festival include Thick Richard (like I said, watch out Suffolk!) who have twice graced Write Out Loud's Octagon Theatre nights, John Berkavitcvh, who appeared with Write Out Loud at an Apples and Snakes event last year, and A.F. Harrold.
