Hot Spots in the Cellar this Saturday

This Saturday 28th January sees 3 more guest poets performing at THE CELLAR down in the sonorous basement at the Poetry Cafe in London. Here is this weekend's star line-up, with comments by Niall O'Sullivan, the man in charge:

Lucy English- Ruling poetic queen of the Bristol scene, a true performance poetry pioneer. Expect touching monologues about family and rural life, and surreal meditations on life as a porn movie…

Dean Wilson- Very funny rhymes with a Northern twist, yearning meditations on love, sex and the beauty of Patsy Cline blasting form the jukebox of a smoky bar.

Jay Bernard - Previous Respect Slam winner and a hot tip for future greatness, captivating , detailed poetry that softly snags and captivates the listener.

7:15pm start, running until about 10:00pm, with a fully licensed bar and food available during the early part of the evening. There have been floor spots available on the night in the past; this Saturday should be no different, but it wouldn't hurt to try and check first. For details of forthcoming CELLAR artists, try their website, which is updated most months.
