West North East was launched at The Shakespeare, Sheffield, on 19 September 2013. Recent performances include Chinese Lanterns (Bank Street Arts, Sheffield, 14 June 2014), a one-off event focusing on new arrangements of poems from the third section of West North East, in which Clegg was joined by poet Andrew Hirst (aka photographer Karl Hurst) for a memorable evening of ritual, performance and multimedia. Watch the short film of the Chinese Lanterns performance:
