Poetry Jam with Leyla Josephine
Expect the unexpected and ready yourself for an evening of happy accidents sprinkled with magic that only the unknown and unplanned can provide. Long time collaborators and friends, fiddler Laura Wilkie, harpist Gillian Fleetwood, and poet Leyla Josephine, join forces for the Push the Boat Out Poetry Jam. Come hear them improvise together and, if you’re feeling courageous, there will be chances to read your writing alongside two of Scotland’s leading musicians.
Bring along with a poem you’d like to perform, or just to listen, and settle in for a night of musical fun.
