LEON the Pig Farmer will headline a night of spoken word poetry being held at Keighley Library.

Leon is a Manchester-dwelling Yorkshireman with “a little more than a lot to say” and will be performing at the next Spoken Worth event at town's library on Thursday, April 20.

"An ex-serviceman who began writing verse to help him deal with a PTSD diagnosis, Leon has an assertive take on spoken word with fast-firing rhythmic verse and a sharp outlook on both his mental health recovery and other social topics and observations that catch his eye," the event preview says. 

The evening will also include the first public preview of the short film 'Sully Lad'.

Filmed locally during lockdown and produced and directed by local lad and close personal friend of Sully, Mickey Thompson, it looks at the life of Craig O'Sullivan, a victim of the heroin epidemic. 

The evening, for those over 18, also features an open mic and people can sign up on the night if local.

For those travelling from further afield, email sipickles@hotmail.co.uk to reserve your slot.

Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start.
