The Live Poetry Book Club (Closing Chapter!)

The Live Poetry Book Club – A Celebration of Storytelling and Song. This is the 4th and final event in our summer series.

Join us for the closing chapter of this summer’s Live Poetry Book Club – a unique gathering of voices, rhythms and stories at the historic Miners & Mechanics’ Institute in St Agnes.

This session, we’re honoured to welcome two exceptional artists whose work blends music, poetry and cultural heritage:

Jasmine Cooray – poet, counsellor, and facilitator whose writing is steeped in intimacy, honesty, and emotional depth. Drawing from her Sri Lankan heritage and lived experience, Jasmine’s work invites reflection, connection, and a renewed sense of empathy. She has performed on stages from the Roundhouse to the Southbank Centre, and her workshops nurture creativity as a tool for wellbeing.

Liz Ikamba – singer-songwriter and musician with Congolese roots whose soulful voice weaves jazz, folk, and African rhythms into captivating soundscapes. Whether performing solo or with her band, Liz’s music tells deeply personal and universal stories, rich with emotion and cultural resonance.
