James McKay is welcomed back to Newcastle. James started writing and performing in his late
20s and was one of the founders of Homecooking an exciting open-mic cabaret
night that started out in someones living room and still pops up in unusual
venues across the North. James traces his roots back to a "classical
beatnik" aesthetic nutured in his student days studying the classics by
day and Ginsberg and Frelinghetti by night. James brought performance poetry
with a new look at classical poetry to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2012.
