Morden Tower is part of Newcastle's mediæval town wall, built in about 1290. From the mid-Sixties it became a major venue for readings of contemporary writing, including internationally renowned poets such as Basil Bunting, Allen Ginsberg, Ted Hughes, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Seamus Heaney. In more recent decades it has also gained a profile as a live music venue with its eccentric and intimate qualities providing an unconventional auditorium for artists such as Chris Corsano, Sir Richard Bishop, Jack Rose, Keith Fullerton Whitman, :zoviet*france:, Alasdair Roberts, and A Hawk and a Hacksaw. This event will contribute to maintaining a stable future for a unique venue.
