Production:: As Far As I Know (T02021523802)

In Aid of Action in Africa. A new book of poems by Roger McGough is always an event and this is truly a cause for celebration. Hilarious and surreal, he is a poet of many voices. Menace and melancholy there may be, but with plenty of McGough's characteristic wit and wordplay too. Newly elected President of the Poetry Society, Roger has been honoured with a CBE for services to literature and the Freedom of the City of Liverpool for good behaviour. McGough is also the presenter of the long-running Poetry Please. Come and see the man who brought you Lily the Pink with Scaffold, the Aintree Iron, GRIMMS and The Mersey Sound with Adrian Henri and Brian Patter. The beat goes on.
