This month we are delighted to welcome local poet and playwright Stephen Regan, who will be reading some of his work and talking about writing poetry.
Stephen Regan’s poems have been published in various literary journals, including … Envoi; Reach Poetry; Killing the Angel; Dove Tales; and Dreich. His work has also appeared in: Best of Manchester Poets Volume 2 anthology; and The Quality of Mersey anthology. He started his poetry career on the live spoken word circuit in London in the 1990s. Stephen was later active on the Merseyside live scene, and he founded The Liver Bards – a popular group that is still going.
His play ‘Tim: an ordinary boy’ (about the bombing of Warrington in 1993) was staged as part of the Wirral Festival of Firsts in 2014.
For 13 years, Stephen also wrote as SAM BRADY – the very popular TV critic of ITV ORACLE and ITV TELETEXT in the UK. Sam’s biggest fan was TV presenter Lorraine Kelly!
Stephen – a professional journalist and communications director – also wrote the daily satirical fiction serial Partners for Today national newspaper.
Another unmissable Lit Group event. And don’t forget that food and drink will be available in the Newsroom before and after the meeting.
