Poetry Olympics Twenty05
Sunday 25 September, 7.00pm

Join us at the Royal Albert Hall for a special anniversary incarnation of the Poetry Olympics! In 1965, the Hall was filled to overflowing for a world voices jamboree, which celebrated the renaissance of performance poetry. Forty years on, the event returns as Poetry Olympics Twenty05, featuring an amazing line-up of talented poets, actors, singer/songwriters and musicians.

This gala event celebrates this milestone event from the sixties and reunites some of 1965's bards still at work - Michael Horovitz, Spike Hawkins, Christopher Logue and Adrian Mitchell - with other stars of today, including Sujata Bhatt, Eliza Carthy, Rachel Fuller, Jerry Hall, John Hegley, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Jude Kelly (MC), Fran Landesman, Peter Lemer, Stacy Makishi, James Naughtie (MC), Grace Nichols, Madeline Solomon, Pete Townshend, Annie Whitehead, Kathryn Williams and the William Blake Klezmatrix.

TICKETS: £40, £35, £30, £25, £22.50, £17.50, £10, £7.50
