… is me, with animation from the wonderful Richard Jackson. The Radio Times blurb reads “everything is falling out for Dan Cockrill in a trippy animation…” Haven’t heard the word trippy since I took LSD in the early nineties!

Anyway, Polarbear had half a million views, Kate Tempest had almost a million views and now it is my turn. Please turn on and tune in to CHANNEL 4 on MONDAY 6th FEBRUARY 11.05pm … I don’t want to let the side down with only my Mum and Nan watching!

Cheers Gunslingers, Spread the word – let’s get more spoken word on television… I think the world is ready for it!
BANG SAID THE GUN – The Nation’s Favourite.

Here are links to a couple of blogs… One is from CREATIVE REVIEW who talk about the beautiful SMILE FOR LONDON project I was involved in.

The other is from THE UPCOMING who talk the POETRY TAKEAWAY at the Southbank. I helped Tim Clare reduce a few people to tears of joy!

BANG and KATE TEMPEST go head to head on Channel 4 Tomorrow night at 11.05pm.
Watch it gunslingers… we need more poetry on TV i reckon… and your vote counts!!!

Hope you enjoy it as much as you enjoyed Polarbear… I think it is bloody lovely!!!

Ok Gunslingers the time has come for the first of Bang Said The Gun’s Channel 4 Random Acts. In November the fantastic London based writer/sayer of words Polarbear was filmed performing in front of a packed out crowd at Hotel Elephant in Elephant and Castle. The event was absolutely rocking and tomorrow night the nation will get to see what can happen when one of the countries best spoken word artists takes to a stage in front of a crowd armed with milk cartons full of chick peas. Please spread the words because we need to get more stuff like this on T.V. Tune in Monday 23 (tomorrow night) at 23.05 Channel 4

My poem on the underground…
