“What’s that fluttering in the breeze?


It’s just a piece of cloth
 that brings a nation to its knees.”

From Flag by John Agard

Join us for this special night celebrating wordplay, culture-crossing and the art of liming (going with the flow). Featuring the legendary poet and performer John Agard, recipient of the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry and one of the most exciting and enchanting readers you’ll ever hear.

John has inspired thousands of adults, children and students across generations who study him for GCSE English each year.

He will be joined by poet and broadcaster Philip Nanton and the evening will include a Q and A hosted by arts curator and Director of Renaissance One, Melanie Abrahams.

This event is produced in partnership with Renaissance One and is suitable for those who like their words to soar and sing!
