About
Les Barker writes strange poems and comes from originally from Manchester, but he's now Welsh.
He was an accountant before he became a professional idiot. He's written 85 books, which sell in large numbers at his gigs because people don't quite believe what they've just heard.
His poems have spawned a number of folk heroes: Jason and the Arguments, Cosmo the Fairly Accurate Knife Thrower, Captain Indecisive, and Spot of the Antarctic, to name but two.
The Hoolies  
The Hoolies are a popular shanty crew from Wivenhoe.  Featured on Radio Essex, they have been described as ‘blowing up a storm locally’ for their entertaining and lively versions of shanties and maritime folk songs.  They will be performing at Harwich International Shanty Festival in October.  
Tickets £12 / £10 concessions.
Doors open 7.45pm.
