Who would like The Great Night of Soul Poetry?
Dale: Just about everyone. All the poems are accessible although by no means dumbed down. We have a truly inspired group of presenters, any of which could headline his or her one person show. Combined with the music of flute, sax, oud, tabla and accordion the poems come alive. Sometimes people have been dragged to our poetry nights and they come away happy that they attended. I remember one young man, who was an aspiring rap artist whose girl friend made him come to a Great Night. He had never before heard poetry presented like this. He loved it. Anyone who loves language or even speaks a language would love this event.
