Canal Laureate Jo Bell & Dead Rat Orchestra

Presented by The Poetry Society in association with the Canal & River Trust as part of the CRT Arts on the Waterways programme.

A thrilling celebration of canal culture in words and music. Jo Bell (“Witty, sexy and deft” – Stuart Maconie) performs lyrical and joyous new poems written during her time as the UK’s Canal Laureate. Learn to walk slowly and quite often sideways. Hark to the ratchet sound of summer winding in. Smell the diesel and try not to get distracted by the duck sex.

Dead Rat Orchestra are adventurers adrift on a wave of sound and possibility, steering their boat through the idioms of Folk and Improv, with music that’s acutely haunting, occasionally brutal and raucously joyful.
