Leader
Lennie Charles
Lennie Charles has been performing music and poetry events from the works of classic mystic poets such as Rumi, Kahill Gibran , Lao Tzu , Omar Khayyam and Kabir to name a few, to local audiences for number of years. A Classical and Middle Eastern multi-instrumentalist and a big fan of BBC Radio’s “Words & Music” He wanted to bring that listening experience to a live audience. The music is often improvised and poems read twice, lines repeated and may also re-read against another poem. Poems he says need to be read and listened too twice sometimes, one for the head and again for the heart.
