The James Berry Fundraising Project presents
A STORY I AM IN: A Benefit Performance
Poetry, Music & Spoken Word celebrating James Berry's Life in Literature
Acclaimed poet James Berry celebrates 90 years of poetry, stories and song in 2014. James was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease nine years ago. He has been in residential care for over two years, and during that time has been in five different care homes and has spent four months in hospital. Despite the serious nature of his illness, he continues to enjoy listening to poetry and talking about everything under the sun.
In this special fundraising benefit at the Tabernacle, fifteen outstanding poets, musician, performers and wordsmiths will share a stage to mark Berry's life in words and bear witness to his contribution to the transformation of the national, Caribbean and international literary landscapes.
Featuring: Roger McGough, Grace Nichols, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Ian McMillan, Maura Dooley, Andrew Motion, Michael Rosen, Hannah Lowe, John Agard, Inua Ellams, Dean Atta, Susanna Howard, Myra Barrs, Melanie Abrahams, Keith Waithe and special guests.
Tickets includes entertainment and a food buffet.
Price: £45.00
