Our Guest Poet

WOLs own!  ‘Dave Bradley’

Dave Bradley’s poetry is many things, thoughtful, spiritual, philosophical, introspective, outward looking, serious, whimsically non serious, both direct and indirect.  Nature and the nature of what motivates and compels man; all of us, seem to be two very prominent threads that run a course through his poetic life.  A love of life and the big questions are never far away.

An engaging poetic humanist

Our Guest Musician  

‘Dave Gilbey’

Dave trained classically before coming to sing folk songs.  These days he applies his rich baritone voice to classics, Irish and English folk songs, poems set to music etc.  For me though his voice really shines when he performs American spiritual songs- wonderful.
