Free evening of talks and conversations with writers and creatives, hosted by Georgia Williams, with performances by young local poets and Jamaican cuisine.
The Glos-sary is back at Gloucester Guildhall on Wednesday 4 November, from 18:30 to 20:30. This one features Fire in the Youth, the latest name in a series of talks and conversations that grew out of the Grhyme Festival. The whole thing was set up to extend the festival's run and open the floor to more speakers, and it's hosted by Georgia Williams, a Gloucester artist and creative in her own right.
Each night follows a similar pattern: Jamaican cuisine at the start, the main conversation in the middle, and a Q&A to close. The series also gives the stage to young local poets, so there's more to it than just the guest of the evening. The nights run as a Glos-Stir event, with Fresh Air Foundations in partnership with Emblaze and Gloucester Guildhall. The organiser brings in writers, artists and creatives whose work they've discovered or met personally, drawing them to Gloucester with their tales of perseverance and success.
Fire in the Youth is the guest on 4 November, following a run that started back in October with Thembe Mvula and Tolu Agbelusi on the 7th, Gamu Matarira on the 14th, Amahra Spence on the 21st, and Paula B Stanic on the 28th. There's one more date after this: Wednesday 11 November, from 18:00 to 20:30, though the artist for that one is still to be confirmed.
