WORDAMOUTH - 29/12/2010

This one is going to be fun. We're relaxing the vibes and putting a bit more funk into the WORDAMOUTH format. The mic will be open for those that cannot resist and the host turns dj as I take care of the sounds alongside a fine selection of djs. There will be performances on the night from Captain of the Rant, Paul Case, and a few surprises too. So come and see new year in early with the WORDAMOUTH family. peaCe

O.D.B.J.D.R.I.P.

It's a strange one this, cos, aside from the slight reduction in corniness and the undoubtedly sicker raps and beats (by Dilla), Ason Jones, isn't too far removed from Puff's ode to B.I.G. (and Sting one day soon too, please). Now the debate's open over the appropriateness of commercially released 'personal' messages. I mean, Puff could afford a hell of a lot of grief counselling with that Missing You, money!

What's not up for debate is the loss to hiphop that ODB's untimely death caused. If not for his bars at that time, certainly for his character, personality and controversy. ODB was hiphop made flesh, warts, crack-pipes and all. Its probably fair to say that his best work was well done by the time he passed, but, his death touched a lot of people, and maybe that justifies a public tribute in itself. O.D.B.J.D.R.I.P.

Wordamouth - Spread it like butter!

Wordamouth takes over The Live Room where last month's Wordplay left off. Last month saw 4i2i Collective rip through a tongue-twisting set, while the open mic had a wicked turn out and a high standard. This month Wordamouth plays host to east end gent and poet, Tim Wells. Tim has been captivating audiences for more than two decades with a blend of story-telling and lyricism presented with the candour of a man who has seen the things he speaks about - real talk, fam!!

It's our first night since the name change and your support will be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: ALSO FEATURING CHARLIE DUPRE

Also coming: 29th December - Wordamouth New Year Hold Up. More details soon. peaCe

FUNHOUSE LIVE (almost) 22/10/2010

Extended Players, MK & Harry Love took The Funhouse to Plan B last night. Brixton's ultimate dancefloor hosted the event that was streamed live on Ustream for those (like me) who couldn't be there. Never has hiphop been so considerate of it's ageing audience!!

4I2I @ WORDPLAY 25/10/2010

First act confirmed for this months WORDPLAY. Mowgli, Stowaway and Gluvs will be dropping a poetry set. Sick lyricists, don't miss this. peaCe

WordPlay - The Live Room - 25/10/2010

Its the 3rd, the 1st and the last WordPlay on October 25th at The Live Room, 236 Green Lanes, Palmers Green. It's officially the 3rd instalment of what is quickly becoming London's most inclusive spoken word poetry jam. Its the 1st that I will be hosting, and from next month the night is getting a new name and a few changes to the format to hopefully bring in a larger crowd. So the 25th is the last WordPlay as well as the pre-party for Watch Ya Mouf (or So To Speak...haven't decided yet). Come down and check out the poets and the have a drink in a cool venue with hot new music and a cool, appreciative crowd.
