This was the John Martin Heritage Festival celebration for ‘National Poetry Day’ inspired by the life and work of John Martin and his brothers Jonathan and William in poetry, music and song. It was presented by the north‘s leading living poet (and Martin scholar) Dr. Keith Armstrong, with ex Whiskey Priests singer/songwriter/guitarist Gary Miller and renowned Northumbrian piper Chris Ormston. It was a wonderful and diverse entertainment with something to please everyone.
Those who ate at the Anchor before the event were very enthusiastic about the excellent, value for money, meals and friendly welcome received. Well done Steve, Lindsay and staff.
