Keith Wilson & John Gorman BESPOKE

LIVE Performance Poetry and Blooming Verbiage

Razor-tongued Liverpool poet, musician, theatre-maker and songwriter Keith Wilson is colloquial, sharp and erudite. Lyrically smart, his words are drawn from life's warp and weft and his music straddles an Art-Rock backdrop somewhere between Zappa’s improvisation and The Bonzo Dog Band’s post Music Hall vibe. Often hilarious, sometimes painful and occasionally poignant, his lexical acrobatics and verbal clever-dickery will convince you that poetry is more than cool. His first book of verse ‘Irritable Vowel Syndrome’ was a BBC regional best seller and his second collection ‘Bumfuzzle’ has rapidly become a workshop manual for lonely hearts! Keith is a regular on Radio and Television and has twice been nominated for Royal Television Society Awards. He has worked extensively in the UK and Europe and continues to tour and record with his band The Spiritualists and has been a member of the re-invented Scaffold since 2007.

With five UK Top 40 hits, three UK Top Ten hits and one UK number 1 single (‘Lily The Pink’), John Gorman enjoyed considerable success with The Scaffold and Grimms in the 60’s and 70’s writing and performing a mixture of comic songs, comedy sketches and poetry. Known by a later generation for his appearances as a member of the TISWAS team, he was responsible for some of the first live anarchy on Children’s Television and wrote the Four Bucketeers hit ‘The Bucket of Water Song’ which made the Top Thirty in the early eighties. He has numerous television and radio credits and remains heavily involved in writing, producing and directing live theatre. A clever and innovative comedy writer and performer, a tireless supporter of emerging new talent and an undoubted force of nature, John has been there, done that and got the t-shirt several times over.

This is a unique opportunity to see Keith and John unplugged, unpredictable and unruly in a close and intimate environment. This is a TICKET ONLY event.
