Poetry Idol 7 at SHORTFUSE

Thursday 9th March: SHORTFUSE POETRY IDOL 7

After the success of the first six Poetry Idol contests, from which the winners
have gone on to obtain regular performances across London, 5 star Edinburgh
Fringe shows, and BBC Radio appearances, SHORTFUSE is once again giving new poetic
talent a chance to shine.

They will be presenting six poets new to SHORTFUSE: Dorna Aslanzadeh, Richard Tyrone Jones, Domain Jane, Ahren Warner, Louise Bennett and Mat Lloyd. These poets will each perform for 10 minutes and then the audience will be allowed to decide which two acts should be given a full length set at SHORTFUSE later in the year and crowned Poetry Idol 7 winners.

Shortfuse is held every Thursday at The Camden Head, Camden Walk, Islington, London, N1 (Tube: Angel)Doors: 8.30pm. Admission: £5 waged / £3 concessions.

More details can be found by emailing info@shortfuse.co.uk or you can visit their website. If you'd like to try out for Poetry Idol yourself, there are details online of how to send samples of your work to SHORTFUSE on CD or DVD.

Mat Lloyd was by far the best poet on the night and a new force in performance poetry.
