Shoreham Wordfest isn’t all about books - there

Shoreham Wordfest isn’t all about books - there are a host of live music events taking place throughout the festival too 🎵

Poet Laureate Simon Armitage will be heading to the Ropetackle Arts Centre with his band LYR on October 11. The band will be performing tracks from their debut album Call in The Crash Team, which sets Simon’s spoken vocals to music.

The band will be supported by vocalist, composer and musician Rebecca Askew.

To celebrate National Poetry Day (October 6) Shoreham Chamber Choir has curated a concert of folk songs from the last four centuries. The music will be interwoven with poems by writers who have been inspired by the beauty of the South Downs.

A traditional Ceilidh with Kate’s Kitchen Band is set to get feet tapping at the Shoreham Centre on October 9. The band’s musical influences include traditional and contemporary folk, jazz, classical and morris dance music. Entertaining ‘callers’ will be on-hand to teach each dance with easy-to-follow instructions.

Plus, this year we are kicking things off early with a pre-festival musical event - Shoreham Wordfest in Song. Shoreham Singers by Sea, The Seven Singers and Harmonessence will be celebrating Shoreham at this special concert at the Shoreham Centre on September 25.

A lively end to the festival is promised at the Ropetackle Arts Centre on October 16, with retro-rock music from Old Play.
