Our Guest Poet

‘Stella Jones’

WOL member, published in several anthologies and a major contributor to  Different Ages, Different Walks- poetry collection available from Amazon.

Stella’s poetry conjures feelings, fragrance and taste, a tactile poet whose fantastic skills sit between or behind meanings and lines.  Stella can put you in a time place or situation without you being able to understand things like ‘how’ or ‘why’.     

Page or performance a phenomenal poet.        

 

 Our Guest Musician  

‘Jo Bywater’

It’s been said by some that Jo does bluesy-folk music, by others that she evokes a pastoral landscape connected to nature. 

‘She’s not writing for mass audiences or the charts’. ‘more like personal poems put to music’  

      So says Laura Geary Griffin-  Live Music Scene Review.

‘Innate poetry’

     So says Sebastian Gahan in his Nerve review  from Jo’s Live gig at FACT.
