Thanks. We thought it might be that. A recording option would be great😊 (I'll be there, but we have a clash with other daughter's dance comp!)

@vervepoetryfest.bsky.social is it possible to watch the youth event online? The 'book stream' button doesn't seem to go to online tickets... www.vervepoetryfestival.com/2025-events/...

"Attendees can expect captivating headline sets from three talented Foyle Young Poets: Yousef Alawi, Lauren Lisk, and Tilly Wiggins. These young writers have already made their mark in the literary world and are set to inspire the next generation of poetry lovers with their powerful performances."
