September 2007

This month is set to be fantastic. Write to Ignite, Hackney Word Festival 2007, has been programmed (by err, hem, me) and starts on September 3rd...

 

 

Write to Ignite, Hackney Word Festival 2007 - a diverse celebration of the word in all its glorious forms. Expect amazing words in strange places and strange words in amazing places - bars, galleries, book shops, libraries, theatres, cafes, streets, and some very special locations will be the stage for the best of Hackney's word artists.

This year, Write to Ignite has crowned Michael Rosen Hackney's Poet Laureate. He will be making many appearances throughout the festival, culminating in a performance of specially commissioned poems about Hackney Streets.

Other highlights include readings, performances and workshops from John Hegley, Scroobius Pip, Iain Sinclair, Tim Wells, Annie Freud, Simon Munnery, Gwyneth Herbert, Hugo Williams, Tim Turnbull, Adisa and Stewart Lee and many, many more. But take a look for yourself - this festival
has something for every one, of every age.
