At long last, we have a LIVEwire Liverpool date in the diary! We’re over the moon to be providing the main Saturday night event at The Everyman as part of the first-ever A Lovely Poetry Festival. So, with this being our first event on Merseyside, we couldn’t pull any punches.

Your LIVEwire poets for the evening are Zena Edwards, Tony Walsh, Casey Bailey, and Amina Atiq. Your host for the evening will be Kevin P. Gilday, and we’ll also have Roy on the decks!

Sound good…? We thought so! Tickets are available here for £10-15. Let’s make it a night to remember in one of the UK’s most unique and vibrant cities.
