LYR with Simon Armitage at St Ia's Church
On Thursday 17 September, St Ia's Parish Church in St Ives hosts an evening that brings together live music and spoken word, with Simon Armitage — the UK's Poet Laureate — performing alongside the band LYR. LYR pair original music with poetry in a form that sits somewhere between concert and literary event, and a historic Cornish church makes for a fitting setting for that kind of intimate, atmospheric work. This will suit anyone who enjoys live music with a literary edge, or poetry that doesn't sit quietly on a page. The church venue means seating is likely limited, so worth booking ahead if you're planning to come.
