Inspired by Poet Slash Artist and presented at Homeground for one night only, Catch a Fire was a live anthology of poetry, music and the places where they connect – curated by Cerys Matthews, hosted by Jeffrey Boakye and featuring more than a dozen acts crossing genres and generations.

Gary Crosby’s 12-piece Jazz Jamaica were joined by Zara McFarlane for ‘Catch A Fire’, a tribute to the universal poetry of the classic Bob Marley album. Dele Sosimi brought his party-starting Afrobeat Experience to the city, while local lad Mike Garry was joined by the Cassia String Quartet for a special performance. Young Identity celebrated the poetry of Rumi, Hafez and Faiz Ahmad Faiz – and there were also live sets from Anthony Anaxagorou, Imtiaz Dharker, Inua Ellams, Adam Horovitz, Murray Lachlan Young and Helen Mort.
