POSTPONED Lapidus Scotland Remember Tom Leonard

We regret this event has been postponed. A new date will be announced shortly.

An evening celebrating Tom Leonard's writing with songs and readings from Eddie Linden, Gerry Mangan, Allan Tall, Gerry Loose, Gerrie Fellows and others.

Tom Leonard (1944 – 2018) was a Scottish poet, writer and critic. He was best known for his poems written in Glaswegian dialect, particularly his Six Glasgow Poems and The Six O'Clock News. His work frequently dealt with the relationship between language, class and culture.
