Dial A Story with Black Country Touring
Fancy something a bit different... Grab a 15 minute free performance on the telephone by poet ADRIAN EARLE, Storyteller PETER CHAND or by singer SAM FRANKIE FOX during the first three weeks of September 2020.
All it takes is the cost of a local 0121 number.
Black Country Touring has secured funding from Heart of England Community Foundation’s ‘Doing Things Differently’ fund, Sandwell MBC’s Vision 2030 and Creative Black Country to deliver this project which aims to reduce isolation by providing social interaction through a dose of short live performance on your telephone.
