Morden Tower Poetry: Wednesday 22nd November

ATTILA THE STOCKBROKER at The Morden Tower, Newcastle Upon Tyne, on Wednesday 22nd November.

Taking inspiration from the D.I.Y ethos of punk rock, Attila the Stockbroker has performed over 2500 times since 1980. Featured by John Peel, a cover star of Melody Maker and one of the most sought after acts on the poetry and festival circuit, Attila is an impassioned and energetic performer often accompanying his poetic outbursts with mandola, violin and bass guitar. Having released 17 LPs and CDs and four volumes of poetry, he is a seasoned, spectacular and highly political rebel not afraid to say it how it is. Attila appears for a very special night at Morden Tower in conjunction with Newcastle's Northern Lights Film Festival as part of their punk retrospective.

Price £7/£6 advance only from NLFF Box Office (Tyneside Cinema, Newcastle.)

"The Morden Tower is located in an alley at the back of Stowell Street, Chinatown, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Which is why you can't find it on your SatNav. The alley entrance is next to Rosie's bar, opposite the Chinese Arch. Beware of the cobbles."

Find the above gem, a map and plenty more information about performances in the famous Morden Tower poetry venue at the Morden Tower website. Splendid!
