Brendan Hawthorne hails from the Black Country in the industrial
heartland of England, which has forged his attitude to writing and
performing poetry, occasionally even in dialect. Sometimes
hard-hitting, sometimes delicate and poignant, his work examines the
range of human experience from factory gates via 1970's tower blocks to
the survival of humour in modern times.
He is a co-founder of Poetry Wednesbury and regularly performs at pubs,
clubs and festivals, including Birmingham's ArtsFest, and has also been
the West Midlands Ambassador for Smooth Radio where he was seen
regularly on the accompanying television advert.
He is Poet in Residence at Wightwick Manor
(National Trust), Wolverhampton, and The Crystal Tea Room,
Stourbridge. He takes community and corporate commissions, collaborating
with artists in all artforms (see: Morrison's superstore, Wednesbury)
and appears in print: Urban Dawn, The
AllNight Cafe, Slide, Station 15, Exhibit B
and on CD: 'E Day 'Arf Spake Funny
Brendan also writes his own songs, which can be
serious, comedic and soul searching or any combination of the three! He
works as a solo performer and also with a folk/blues combo ‘SO IT GOES’
with Kerry Halford where he sings, plays guitar and harmonica though not
always at the same time!
Born in 1961, he is married, with two cats and a retreat summerhouse.
