National Poetry Day at Brodick Bar
This coming Thursday, October 4th, is National Poetry Day, and it will be celebrated in the Brodick Bar with a feast of poems. National Poetry Day has already had a curtain-raiser in the ebullient form of Jackie Kay, who left a packed audience in Brodick Hall excited by poetry as never before, but poetry on Arran has its own momentum, with a surprisingly large number of people reading, writing and discussing it.
On Thursday, local poets will be reading and the singing group, Vivace, will add spice to the entertainment. All poetry lovers are welcome to come along for a wildly mingled programme of fantastic poetry. If you would like to bring a poem to read and share, that will be welcomed – though not more than 40 lines please! Experience has shown that there is always competition for ‘air time’.
The Arran Theatre and Arts Trust would like to thanks Ian McFadzean and the Brodick Bar for their generosity in hosting the evening.
