ANITA KARLA KELLY:

Anita Karla Kelly. Writer. Positive deviant. Anita loves small moments of unexpected magic - like when a cup of tea makes the world right. ‘Daringly dangerous' - Jack Thorne. 'Great, uninhibited writing' - The Guardian.

THOMAS KAM:

Thomas Kam started​ life as a poet and classical pianist, with these interests eventually converging into his current work as a singer/songwriter and performer. Thomas brings his background in classical and jazz piano, folk guitar and page poetry to form a unique style of music, overlaid with his expressive voice. His music has been described as “Leonard Cohen meets Ludivoci Einaudi meets Jeff Buckley.” In 2017, Thomas spent 9 months being treated for leukaemia in isolation. Much of his current work is a response to this experience. Thomas created Dear Lady Death, a one-man show based on songs and poems written during his illness and recovery.

Thomas hosts The Making Tracks Podcast, in which he interviews musicians about the story behind a song, their life story, philosophy, psychology, spirituality and more. He is also a nature connection facilitator and workshop leader.

Part of Lyra - Bristol Poetry Festival 2023.
