POEMS & PINTS – rhyme, rhythm, and refreshment,
in a relaxed cabaret setting!
Pulsating performance poetry, featuring four fabulous versifiers and hosted with customary caprice by the ever-mischievous Marcus Moore. This quick-witted quartet bring quality, quills, and versatile voices to the Festival for an effervescent evening of the very best in performance poetry.
Emphatically persuasive Emma Purshouse is a lively and original comedienne whose poetic pen has won her many admirers among audiences – and tram travellers! Dry, wry humour and deceptively perceptive observations.
Byron Vincent’s biro vindicates his being hailed as one of the country’s brightest versifiers. Last year’s Swindon Slam winner takes a poignant, pointed look at the language and laughter of urban subculture. Barking doggerel and bad ass badinage.
Lucidly engaging Lucy English has been there, done that, worn the T-shirt, washed it, ironed it and put it away in a drawer. . . but the nib of the original ‘Slam Sex Goddess’ continues to nip with irony and charm, with elegant and fragrant smut. Class, clarity and close-quarter clout.
And one of nature’s finest, Nathan Filer, brings us more memorable examples of his stylish stylus, with characteristic invention, linguistic ingenuity and grin-inducing asides. Pieces plucked from a proud plumage.
Come and be served, for bitter or verse!
