Here is a quick poem / song I wrote with SEAN TAYLOR

Tony Husband is going to illustrate it later. How lovely!

BANG SAID THE GUN was blessed with a top, top line up last Thursday. AF HARROLD and TIM CLARE, two world class poetic heavy weights, slogged it out, word for word, on the BANG stage. If that wasn’t enough excitement for one evening, then Elvis (the Scottish one, not the King of Rock) jumped up on the mic with an impromptu performance to punched out Cameron with one delicious poem – talk about value for money!!!

ELVIS v CAMERON (only one winner!)

To match last weeks verbal explosions we have invited the magnificent DAVID J VOCAL PUGILIST to the BANG stage on THURSDAY 6TH MAY. To balance his brilliance, we have the delightful sound of GWYNETH HERBERT, who will help us hum, shake, rattle and roll into the RAW MEAT STEW OPEN MIC.

DAVID J VOCAL PUGILIST

GWYNETH HERBERT

CLAIR WHITEFIELD won the prestigious GOLDEN GUN AWARD last Thursday, so you can catch her this Thursday when she performs an extended set.

LAURA (who makes cakes and runs the door) leads the BANG SAID THE GUN POETICAL POLL beating TOM WAITS, GILLIAN DUFFY (the bigoted granny) and a FREE RANGE CHICKEN among others. So cast your vote on THURSDAY MAY 6th during the day, then come along to BANG to see who you really want to run the country! VOTE DAVID J, VOTE GYWN HERBERT, VOTE BANG SAID THE GUN!

If you like photography and poetry then you might like my new project ‘DESTROYING THE LABORATORY FOR THE SAKE OF THE EXPERIMENT’ (a collaboration with photographer Mark Power) which appears in the latest edition of FOTO8 magazine.

It will also be at the ATLAS GALLERY from June 8th if you want to hear, see, feel the whole thing. Watch this space for updates!
