*******************
POETRY
Monologues and poems are a feature of this club.
They add humour, pathos, sincerity and are often
thought provoking.
Although outnumbered by the Singers and Musicians,
these practitioners are an essential aspectof the
atmosphere at this excellent folk club.
Topics are varied and prior to reciting, short explanations
of what to expect are usually given by each performer.
Some of the regular performers are: -
ERIC CRAVEN
You can find Eric and his poems at -
https://www.ericscraven.com/about-eric
NB: His website is well worth a 'look see'.
Other poets are welcome to send their own
works to Eric to appear on his website.
CAROL WARBURTON
Wife of John Warburton - singer/songwriter & team member
ALEX JENKINS
Conveyer of monologues/singer & team member
PATRICK HAYES
Poems & songs usually with an Irish lilt
