POETRY

 

Monologues and poems are a feature of this club.   

They add humour, pathos, sincerity and are often thought provoking.  

 

These practitioners are an essential aspect of 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 -

NB:  His website is well worth a 'look see'.

Other poets are welcome to email their own works to Eric to appear on his website.
