The Worcestershire Literary Festival in association with Apples & Snakes is proud to announce the next in our series of “Learn : Eat : Perform” workshops, taking place at the Arts Workshop on Sunday 19th June 2011.
Starting at 11.00am, the morning will consist of a workshop by Chris Redmond, followed by lunch at Cafe Bliss and an open mic session to put into practise what you have learnt – hence Learn : Eat : Perform.
More Information About Chris Redmond:
Chris Redmond is a poet, musician and educator, raised in a musical family; writing, performing and playing from a young age. He spent his 20’s playing drums in bands, touring the UK and Europe, whilst quietly honing his writing skills, fusing his love of both music and language.
From his first open mic, to playing to two thousand people at Shepherds Bush Empire, His poetry has always been about performance. Gigs include Glastonbury Festival, The Big Chill, Latitude, Cargo and The Jazz Café, both solo and with his band – fusing poetry, song and blistering broken jazz. He is the host and promoter of Tongue Fu – a poetry/music improv night in London and at festivals.
His poetry has been featured on BBC Radio 1, XFM, Resonance FM and SKY TV. He’s released tracks on Soundseasy Records, Going Down Swinging CD/Anthology; and is featured on Sound Species’ first album (Burnt Progress). His one-man show, The Lost Menagerie is supported by BAC.
Chris Redmond’s style is disarmingly conversational, rich in imagery and layered in meaning. His intention is simple – to entertain, provoke and play.
