Join us for an evening of spoken word, music and theatre in the cosy warmth of Queenie’s Coffee Shop. Each night features special guests and a chance to take part in our open mic.

Our April Coffee House Night features:

BATLEY POETS

Inspired by the Gujarati Writers Forum, The Yorkshire Dialect Group and local poets, the Batley Poets first assembled at the Batley Festival in 2012 and have since gathered a growing number of local poets to share the words and sentences that would otherwise have gone unnoticed.

NIGEL PARSONS

Before his current solo singer/songwriter work, Nigel Parsons performed in bands at many iconic venues; Cavern Club, Wigan Casino, Radio 1 broadcasts, supporting bands as diverse as: The Hollies, Arthur Brown, Dire Straits. His songs cover many subjects: The day after Brexit, Woody Guthrie's new year's resolutions, beachcombing ... His new album Sinistralman is scheduled for release later this year.
