The Northern Songbook Forum

The Northern Songbook is a Late Music initiative which aims to bring together local and regional poets and composers to collaborate, promote and celebrate the work of artists from the North of England.

Chaired by Dr Abi Curtis and David Lancaster from the faculty of York St John University, the forum will initially focus on the collaborations between the composers and poets featured in the evening’s song recital by Jeremy Huw Williams and Nigel Foster. This will be followed by a short introduction from the Chair of the York Literature Festival, Miles Salter, with an invitation to any local/regional poets to perform readings of their work. Finally, over light refreshments, all the composers and poets will be encouraged to network as a basis for future collaborations.

All participants will be offered half-price tickets for the evening’s song recital.
