Hi there,

Here’s a few things I’m up to in September.

From the 8th to the 13th, I’ll be in Latvia with Jacob Sam La Rose running workshops and performing with the British Council as part of the White Night Festival in Riga.

I’m performing in Wales from the 14th to the 16th in What We Should Have Said

What we should have said… is brought to you by BAFTA nominated and Perrier Award winner Stuart Silver who will lead a dynamic, emotive and playfully original performance of words and music given by Martin Daws, Aoife Mannix, Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch and Richard Douglas Pennant. The stellar line up of word artists is joined by pianist Huw Warren, described by the Guardian as “one of the UK’s truly independent spirits.”

Clapham Junction and Apples and Snakes present Monsters of Poetry as part of the SW11 Festival on Sunday, September 18th at 8pm at the Battersea Arts Centre.

Tonight’s line-up features some of the true giants and jabberwocks of the spoken-word scene: Yemisi Blake, Comfort, Richard Marsh and, presenting a suitably monstrous set, festival favourite Aoife Mannix.

The British Council have invited me to China from the 20th to the 29th. I’ll be running workshops and performing poetry with Francesca Beard and Luke Wright as part of the Pearl River International Poetry Festival.

I’ll be recording BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live Poetry Festival on September 30th to be broadcast on National Poetry Day on October 6th.
