Poetry and the Beatles at Chapter

A new collection of poems celebrating 50 years of the Beatles was read aloud at Chapter arts centre in Cardiff set to the bands most famous tunes.

Back in an era when popular culture was defining the times Ringo Starr, George Harrison, John Lennon and Paul McCartney met in Liverpool and decided to start a band. The rest, so they say, is history.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Beatlemania, and so 2013 is sure to see the re-emergence of The Beatles in every aspect of popular culture. Perhaps the most interesting result of this celebration is a new anthology of poetic responses to The Beatles and their songs, entitled Newspaper Taxis: Poetry After the Beatles.

Prosthetic Soul at Chapter Arts

A satire on the world of cosmetic surgery and perceptions of the beautiful body, Prosthetic Soul is a bit like an episode of Holby City with sudden bursts of song.

Prosthetic Soul is a collaboration between Mr and Mrs Clark and Volcano, which they call a medical musical. A little bit like an episode of Holby City with sudden bursts of songs, and lots of teeth and big hair.
