  • November 13, 2018
    8:30 pm - 10:15 pm

A great show in store on Tuesday 13h November at 8.30 at the Square Club Berkeley Square.

Tickets two pounds and hosted by Tim Burroughs/ Charles Thompson.

We have poets Anna Saunders, Cian Murphy and Marie Ellis and music from Avellana.

Anna Saunders has been described as ‘a poet who surely can do anything’ by The North  and ‘a poet of quite remarkable gifts’ by Bernard O’Donoghue.

With poems published in journals and anthologies, which include Ambit, The North, New Walk Magazine, Amaryllis, Iota, Caduceus, Envoi,The Wenlock Anthology, Eye Flash, and  The  Museum  of  Light, Anna has proven herself a talented writer with a drive to share not only her work but other talented poets.

In 2017 Cian Murphy’s work was on the long list of the Cinnamon Press Pamphlet Competition. It has also been long-listed (2017) and Commended (2018) in the Munster Literature Centre Fool for Poetry Competition. This year it was long-listed for the Anthony Cronin International Poetry Award and was chosen for Eyewear Publishing’s Best New British & Irish Poets 2018.

Marie Ellis grew up in the flat, expansive plains of the Midwestern U.S. And this provided a lot of time and space to create. It was in that fertile soil that the seeds of who she is today were planted: poet, performer, writer, journalist. After living in parts of California and Berlin, Marie settled in Brighton in 2010 and just recently moved to Bristol. Her poetic style in three words: political, empirical, lyrical.

Avellana work through jazz classics , original modern works and other experiments in jazz wonderment.
