One of the initial members of  Write Out Loud with a hugely-growing reputation gave our website an enormous plug this week in an interview with Radio Manchester.

Poet and writer Tony Walsh – Longfella – was being interviewed about his upcoming role as website Poet-in-Residence at the Glastonbury festival. Tony, who will be launching his debut poetry collection and CD Tall Stories and the Truth at Glastonbury, and as co-headliner at the opening night of the Ledbury poetry festival a week later, told Radio Manchester’s Heather Stott of a “fantastic” website called Write Out Loud which was “a really good starting point for people to share their poetry” as well as pointing people towards the thriving live poetry scene.
