Morden Tower is one of Britain's best-known literary landmarks. For the past 44 years, hundreds of poets have come from all over the world to give readings in this ancient turret-room on Newcastle's city walls. It has been particularly noted for its assocation with many Beat and Black Mountain poets

Morden Tower readings were started by Tom and Connie Pickard in 1964. On June 16 1964 poet and song writer Pete Brown gave the first reading.

On the 22 December 1965 Basil Bunting gave his first public reading of his newly written epic poem Briggflatts.

Allen Ginsberg gave his first European reading of Kaddish in 1965

Morden Tower is equally as popular as a music venue as well hosting local performances from some of Newcastle's rising talent, Jumpin Hot Club hosts a range of international and national talent.

I think this is the first
and last time that we'll
find our band's name
beside the likes of
Allen Ginsberg and
Ted Hughes!
