She blew the roof off at Bang Said The Gun recently, we’ll miss her pazzaz. Her luxury on Desert Island Discs was a supply of cannabis seeds. Splendid.

BANG SAID THE GUN revealed the schedule for the eagerly-awaited live poetry debates on the lead up to Britain’s May 6 polling date.

The sessions will be screened on BANG TEEVEE on Thursday April 15th, April 22nd, April 29th and May 6th.
Members of the audience will be able to join in by signing up to the TEQUILA SHOT OPEN MIC or by rattling their shakers and waving their glow sticks, while viewers can watch all the latest action on line at BANG TEEVEE.
The first poetry debate, hosted by Daniel Cockrill, will star FRAN LANDESMAN and will take place at the ROEBUCK, 50 GREAT DOVER STREET, LONDON SE1.
The second event, which features PAUL BIRTILL, will be based on very truthful but very gloomy poetry. Audience members are warned that it is also extremely funny.
The third debate, themed on long beards and arbitrary lists, will be a moderate look at life by TIM CLARE and AF HARROLD.
The final debate includes DAVID J VOCAL PUGILIST who weaves words so deliciously that even David Cameron would put down his top hat and shut up for at moment.
For the first time in history, this General Election pitches leaders of the three biggest parties against BANG SAID THE GUN.
Televised debates have been a feature of US presidential elections since 1960, but have been blocked in Britain because the public is aware that politicians are all a bunch of lying scum bags.

So who are you going to vote for?
TIM CLARE, AF HARROLD, PAUL BIRTILL, FRAN LANDESMAN, DAVID J, all dancing with their words and shouting out the truth, or Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg, dribbling nonsense and telling you some whopping great porky pies. So vote with your feet, vote poetry, vote BANG SAID THE GUN… where your opinions actually count!

VOTE TIM CLARE – POETRY FOR THE PEOPLE!

Ho Ho Ho Gunslingers!
