Dutch Artists touring the UK

"Dutch Connection Tour"


In the month of October a group of Poets & Musicians of various nationalities will depart from Amsterdam for the UK where they will meet up with Poets & musicians from the UK for the start of a remarkable journey around the UK.

At the various venues they will be joined by local Poets & performers. Many of the poets involved have become legends in their own time and this will be a rare opportunity to see them perform in the UK.

Two of the venues ( Birmingham & Brixton) will take the form of a one day poetry & music festival, with a chance to also see rare film footage of legendry beat poets, hear music from folk & rock bands, DJ’s and more.

20% of all proceeds will go to the Survivors poetry group in that area. There will also be celebrity mystery guests at each venue.
