Great line up coming to Newquay

Coming up this week on Saturday…

Catch SproutSpoken at Newquay Orchard Fayre on Saturday 15th June 💥

A specially formed SproutSpoken Collective take to the stage at 1pm for an hour of light-hearted spoken wordsmithery. Featuring Rob Barratt, Kerry Vincent and Jo Mason.

ROB BARRATT
Comic poet and friend of SproutSpoken, Rob Barratt, has performed at venues and festivals all over the UK. He’ll take you on a journey to the outer reaches of his brain - a strange place where you’re likely to hear about squid, the weather in Aberdeen, data-driven education, his relationship with potatoes and tuk-tuks… plus why he doesn’t want to swim with dolphins. A Dudley-born, brain-tickling, word-mangling North Cornwall-based poet, who combines clever wordplay with satire, parody and audience participation.

KERRY VINCENT
Kerry is a mother of nine from Constantine near Helston. She has written rhyming, rhythmic verse since childhood and then published her first collection in 2009. She has supported Hollie McNish (in Newquay), written and staged a pantomime and play, contributed to numerous anthologies and is also part of the ‘Mor Poets’ project. She currently has a second collection of poetry being edited! Kerry is “delightfully beguiling in the way she finds the profound in the day-to-day”.

Jo Mason
A mother, teacher, lover, fighter, smiler, scowler, wine drinker, beach lover, festival goer, doggo best friend and now, (relative) newbie writer of rhymes! Jo was last scene with SproutSpoken both at the Bude Pop-Up last month and also in April, starring in “You Are Here” - an immersive lyrical experience taking place at dusk on the beach in her hometown of Looe. Get ready to giggle!
