For sixty years, Roger McGough has thrilled and delighted generations of readers with his irreverent, intimate and ever-original poetry.
To celebrate the launch of his Collected Poems, Roger is touring his Alive and Gigging show, covering the Mersey soaked sound of his quintessential Sixties start, through to tender meditations on fatherhood and family, and on to political sendups, pandemic playfulness and brilliant new writing. A performance poet like no other, he is bringing his best pieces to the stage for new and old audiences alike. Aged 87, he is a force of nature – and poetry!
