2011 programme
Pitmen Poets & Rural Writers Re-jigged
Join poets from Colpitts Poetry and folk musicians for a special day of poetry and music from the North East, performed in costume, in the unique surroundings of Beamish. Writers and musicians will be performing around different venues on the Beamish site throughout the day. Poets Jo Colley and Ian Horn will be joined by folk musician Bob Fox, the creator of the acclaimed Pitmen Poets, a project that celebrates the songs of the region’s coal mining heritage.
This event is part of Beamish’s Harvest Home celebrations, making this day a very special day out at the North’s living museum. To find out more, see www.beamish.org.uk.
