Dorchester Arts, in association with the Dorchester Literary Festival, brings you a double bill featuring one of Britain’s favourite poets alongside unique poetry band LiTTLe MACHiNe.
Hilarious and surreal, Roger McGough is a poet of many voices. President of the Poetry Society, CBE and the Freeman of the City of Liverpool, Roger has been one of the UK’s finest wordsmiths since his early days with the Liverpool Poets and The Scaffold, famous for their chart hits such as Lilly The Pink and The Aintree Iron. He is now a familiar voice on radio through shows such as Radio 4’s Poetry Please and continues to delight live audiences and readers with his mix of humour, melancholy and menace.

Roger will perform with the ‘must have’ act at UK Literary Festivals, LiTTLe MACHiNe. Drawing on three thousand years of poetry – Sappho, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Blake, Byron, Eliot, Larkin et al – they set classic poems to music and perform them with energy, passion and humour. Former Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy called them “…the most brilliant music and poetry band in the world”
