A LIVE Arts Jamboree will be presented at Kidderminster Library Gallery tomorrow evening as part of a farewell series entitled ‘Four Nights in November’.

The jamboree of music, poetry and story-telling is part of the Friends of the Gallery’s campaign to highlight their opposition to plans by Worcestershire County Council to turn the current top-floor gallery art space into offices.

The evening will feature music from local singer and songwriter Kate Wragg, Humdrum Express and Heather Wastie, as well as poetry from Sarah Tamar.

Johnny Gash and the Bleeding Cat Faces will be performing, as well as the Grumpy Old Guitarists and Bleeding Hearts. There will also be live art from the Kidderminster-based Boars Head Gallery’s arts co-ordinator Corina Harper.

Two artists from the Black Country will be entertaining the audience, poet and musician Brendan Hawthorne and storyteller John Edgar.

A mystery guest from Nottingham will perform with one of the quietist musical instruments in existence, to be revealed on the night.

Stephen Brown, secretary of the Friends of the Gallery action group, said: “We are going to draw attention to the lack of engagement on these proposals, raise the plight of the gallery on our ‘Four Nights in November’ event and encourage resistance to the county council’s planning application.”
