Acoustic Night

JOHN TERRY
Autumnally themed imagery, beautifully measured, splendidly performed.

CHRISTINE E RAMSEY-WADE
‘Nothing in this world can equal the power of her intense fragility.’
You are sorry if you missed this rare performance.

PHIL BABER
Translations of Phil’s lyrics can be found on his myspace space, http://myspace.com/philbabermusic
Perhaps, knowing the meaning would detract from the mesmerising magic of Phil’s Spanish music. Perhaps…?

PHIL BABER
CRAIG WILSON . . .
. . . Is Glastafari! and, he’s written a book of poems about it. He’s gigging in Glastonbury, in 2008, details on www.myspace.com/highperformancepoetry

CRAIG WILSON
SARAH TAMAR
Subverts / usurps clichés to make brilliant, original rhymes. She is analytical, witty and just, exactly what you might expect from a Radio 4 addict.

SEAN + ANN (who forgot to give us their surnames, web address etc!)
Anne sang poems, accompanied by Sean playing guitar. Anne played the flute, accompanying Sean. Sean sound checked with ‘Air On A G String’
SEAN & ANNE
DEREK BRAKE
Articulate, acute renderings of drunkenness, A+E and sports bars.

DEREK BRAKE
ANDI LANGFORD-WOODS
Poignant, touching, real.

ANNA FREEMAN
Honest, earthy, humorous. The best poem in The World about smoking.

ANNA FREEMAN
LUCAS
Sharp and wry. The best poem in The World about night club queues.

LUCAS

ANNIE McGANN
A chiaroscuro of images from London now, and then.

ANNIE McGANN
JENNA
Inspiring, describing, stream of consciousness.

JENNA

MILES CHAMBERS
A ‘top notch’ guest slot!
In a mixture of Patois and ‘proper English’ Miles takes a powerful exploration into the issue of identity, through the prisms of equality, race, family, and belonging. Miles expresses himself passionately without victimisation. Outstanding, and inclusive.
He promises new poems in the new year, can’t wait!

MILES CHAMBERS
IAN SILLS
On top form, both as a compere and poet. Subverting/ usurping material from popular culture to make biting satire.

ROARING BRONTO’S
Cajun craziness, no really! With added extra puppets.

GAVIN
Anglo Saxon poetry about Ashton Court, or the lack of it.

GAVIN

POLLY MOYER
Doesn’t miss being sober, but we are going to miss her when she takes it States-side,

POLLY MOYER
GINA BRIGANTI
If you haven’t experienced Gina’s unique mix of poetry and song… you’re missing out

DERRICK HINES
Hardworking performer, top musician, top poet, top voice. Proper!

DERRICK HINES
MALUSI
Energetic, uncompromising ‘angry young man’ WAKING everyone up late at night.

(We’ll get a foto of him when we upgrade the shutter speed..)

J WORDS
He’s ‘Lovely’ talented and Eric’s dad.

SHORTY
Get Shorty to perform again, please.
