SUMMARY:COLPITTS POETRY LIVE: Steve Urwin and Tony Gadd
DESCRIPTION:Colpitts Poetry Live continues its new season at Redhills Miners Hall with a featured double bill from two of the North East’s most distinctive working class poetry voices: Steve Urwin and Tony Gadd. \nSteve Urwin is a poet\, performer\, writing facilitator and multiple poetry slam champion. His work has appeared in magazines including Fire\, King Ink\, Open Wide\, Smiths Knoll and Tears in the Fence. In 2023 he undertook the remarkable challenge of writing and self-publishing a new pamphlet every month. His latest collection from Red Squirrel Press is Laughter to Split Glass\, with a new full-length collection due in 2027. Steve also runs Talking Pen and organises the popular monthly Poetry Jam at Durham’s Waddington Street Centre. \nTony Gadd has enjoyed an interesting and varied career as a performer and poet. Through poetry he explores the experiences\, thoughts and feelings of everyday existence — open\, honest and unafraid to say what others avoid. He has performed everywhere from cafés to cathedrals\, shipping containers to museums\, The Glasshouse to the BBC Edinburgh Fringe Slam and festival stages across the country. Along the way he has supported major names\, hosted his own poetry nights\, undertaken commissions and completed a year-long residency for the Norman Cornish Centenary Celebrations. Now\, following a six-year health-related hiatus\, he returns as the truly Paggered Poet. \nPlus – Original Folk Music from John and Maggie Burge. \nWe dare you to take the mic yourself in our limited Open Mic for your poems and original songs — sign up from 7 p.m.
