DUET

a scratch performance by Richard Marsh and Katie Bonna

Duet is a brand-new piece, so at the time of writing we can'’t give you a synopsis of the story. But you can probably expect tales of the world's least romantic, most romantic stag and hen dos, festivals, lonely Christmas dinners and too many coats. A wry, warm, real romance told in a hopeful, heartfelt way.

...You'd be Bonkers to miss it!!

poetcurious @ Tristan Bates theatre - 20/08/2011

The Museum of Broken Relationships is coming to London's Tristan Bates theatre in London's Covent Garden. I will be hosting a night of poetry on the 20th August to run alongside the exhibition. Some of London's finest open mic performers and featured guest poets will perform on the theme of broken relationships as well as writing/improvising a piece in response to the exhibition and performing it in a slam format. This will culminate in the 2 top poets battling it out head-to-head in a final round of odes to lost love! As well as that there will an open mic round and good music in the gaps!! Tickets available via the Tristan bates website here.

SGP2011

Check out my Saturday afternoon set at Secret Garden Party. The Valley Of The Antics stage hosted me and Angry Sam last year and were good enough to have us back to open the show this year. Big up Theo for hooking us up.

My stand out performances of the weekend were:

Blondie's flawless vocals

The Resonators Sunday morning set

Stanton Warriors dutty DJ set

Switch & Khalil @ Wormfood on Saturday night

and much, much more.

SGP may be less of a secret than a few years ago but it's still a hell of a good festival. Can't wait for next year!!

curious & Angry Sam in today's Guardian...

It is only a couple of weeks since myself and Angry Sam hosted The Guardian for a school poetry slam. Following slam conventions, the poets performed poems from the Year 9 anthology for the judgement of an audience of 300 teenagers. Blake and Wordsworth battled it out with Kate Tempest and Linton Kwesi Johnson; with Kwesi taking top honours!! There was also a performance from a year 9 student who won the school's London Poetry competition with a poignant and image-laden piece of highly-crafted writing. One for the future, surely!

--> Big thanks to Judy and Richard from The Guradian for supporting this event and producing this article.
