Saul Williams and Lingo’s 2015 headline programme

The surviving record of a major headline appearance in the festival’s second edition.

A new reference note at an earlier Lingo address.

The earlier page title announced Saul Williams as a Lingo headline artist. Contemporary coverage connects him with the October 2015 festival. A historical programme address on Poetry Ireland also records that edition, although direct retrieval of its file is currently unavailable.

A contemporary interview published by The Thin Air in October 2015 connects Williams with the Lingo festival. These records place the announcement in a particular festival year; they do not describe a current booking or a new ticket offer.

A headline artist can bring audiences from music, performance and poetry into the same room. Lingo’s broader programme is a useful example of that meeting of forms. For readers exploring the relationship today, the current reading room includes guides to spoken-word poetry, performance and public speaking.

This new note preserves the earlier address and its subject. The original announcement text has not been recovered and is not quoted here.
