The Grand Launch - Friday 18th May - 7:30 pm

Glasgow Art Club, 185 Bath Street

Join us for what promises to be one of the most memorable poetry events Glasgow has seen in recent years. A very special event.

Liz Lochhead and Jim Carruth have set up the Old MacDonald had a Farm for Africa project to support Oxfam's work with rural communities by raising funds to provide essential materials and resources for local farmers and it is hoped that other Young MacDonalds will raise money through their own projects across Scotland during the year.

And who will be performing - Feast your eyes and ears on this line up.
Confirmed so far are

Liz Lochhead, Alasdair Gray , Douglas Dunn, Bernard Mclaverty, Aonghas MacNeacail, Rab Wilson, Gerrie Fellows , Miriam Gamble, Peter Mckay, Gerry Cambridge, Tawona Sithole, Robyn Marsack, Eleanor Livingstone, Lesley Duncan, and Jim Carruth.

It is a very special night and a very important one. But hurry - the event will be limited to only 100 people so it very unlikely you will be able to just turn up on the night.

Tickets cost £10 and can be bought at the Oxfam Bookshop on Royal Exchange Square, or call Gillian on 0141 248 9176. Or oxfamshopf6035@oxfam.org.uk
