Claire Williamson & John Hegley: two festival poets

Ride On
Being held at the Arts Centre, Devizes Road, Swindon (Tel 01793 614837)
7.00pm • 9 May • £5 (£4)

Claire Williamson

RIDE ON – a poem, a film, and a live musical experience, with poet CLAIRE WILLIAMSON, film-maker Cluna Donnelly, and flamenco guitarist Mark Dennett.

‘And now I ride on, and if you want to, you can come too.’

A ‘tender, breath-taking, gripping, moving, and ultimately hopeful’ multi-media show inspired by Claire Williamson’s remarkable narrative poetry collection.



FOLLOWED BY: JOHN HEGLEY in 'Uncut Confetti!'
at 9pm, same day, same venue, £7

Dogs, glasses, and Luton are themes few other poets can do as much with, creatively and comically, as comedy’s poet laureate John Hegley. He is one of Britain’s best-loved poets, also tackling childhood, love, and family relationships, in his eight best-selling collections, each with the author’s inimitable line drawings and observations on everyday life. And now, here comes Uncut Confetti, funny, poignant, and appropriately colourful in almost every imaginable way!

DOUBLE TICKET £10 for two events:
Ride On 7.00pm and John Hegley 9.00pm
