Loud and lively, yet up-close and personal, Vocabaret nights have quickly gained near-legendary status in Prestwich where they play to sell-out audiences. Founded by Tony Walsh (aka Longfella), Poet-in-Residence for Glastonbury Festival 2011, Vocabaret combines nationally and internationally renowned poets and musicians in 'All Killer, No Filler' line-ups which would grace any festival in the land. An unforgettable night of laughter and tears is guaranteed, all at The Blue Cat for an unbelievable £5!

Rosie Garland (aka Rosie Lugosi) is a legend in many circles. Born in London to a runaway teenager, Rosie has always been a cuckoo in the nest. She's an eclectic writer and performer, ranging from singing in post-punk gothic band The March Violets, to performing internationally as her alter-ego Rosie Lugosi the Vampire Queen, cabaret chanteuse and mistress of ceremonies.

She has published five solo collections of poetry and her award-winning short stories, poems and essays have been widely anthologized. She is winner of the DaDa Award for Performance Artist of the Year and a Poetry Award from the People's Café, New York. Her award-winning debut novel 'The Palace of Curiosities' was released in March 2013 by HarperCollins. http://www.rosiegarland.com/

Quiet Loner (aka Matt Hill) is one of the UK's leading Americana artists with a string of 5-star and 10/10 reviews for his new album of contemporary protest songs, "Greedy Magicians." Joining us fresh from a tour of the Netherlands with Kirsty Magee, Matt earned a standing ovation at Vocabaret in Prestwich recently for his understated but powerful songs, attracting favourable comparisons to names like Elvis Costello and Billy Bragg. http://quietloneruk.wordpress.com/about/

Our host, Tony Walsh is 'one of the UK's most renowned performance poets.' A favourite on the festival circuit, he's a Glastonbury regular and has electrified audiences at prestigious poetry, literary and music events around the UK and beyond. His poetry has been commissioned by BBC tv and radio and published in the UK, the USA and Russia. Vocabaret will be one of several launch events for his acclaimed debut poetry collection, 'SEX & LOVE & ROCK&ROLL.' 'Fabulous stuff...' Irvine Welsh
