SIX OF THE BEST in Birmingham Wednesday 3rd May

SIX OF THE BEST continues this month on Wednesday 3rd May at the Birmingham Library Theatre with this excellent line-up of poets:

Kokumo
Emma Purshouse
Sean Kelly
Andy Conner
Jane Holland
Dan Wilson


which you may notice includes the editor of this site!

This is the brainchild of Birmingham Poet Laureate Dreadlockalien (Richard Grant)and is a six-month series designed to showcase the best poet-performers from across the Midlands. The event begins quite early at 6.45pm and costs £5. Free to those involved in the series.

Phat Controller, an equally excellent ska band, will accompany the event with music at the beginning and end, plus entertainment during the interval and even in between poetry sets (they've composed some special Six of the Best jingles just for your delectation). So come along, be entertained and provoked and amused and surprised. Not necessarily in that order. Unless it seems like a good order to you.
