Literartists get favourable reviews

Two Literartists competed in the 2009 Poetry Idol competition on Friday night.

Our creative director won the first Poetry Idol back in 2007.

Check out Nik Smythe's review of Poetry Idol and the performances it brought to the stage. Both Murray Lee and Sabrina Muck, though they did not win, receive favourable reviews.

Murray & Miriam Take on the Live Sessions

Murray Lee and myself will be guest poets at the third Dirty Words Live Session on Sunday, May 10th from 3-5pm at Thirsty Dog.



I raved on about this gig when I went along to watch Christian Jensen and Texture perform at the inaugural event in March. Last month Shane hosted poetry sports in between guests (Anna Kaye and Murray Haddow) and fortunately it will be popping up again this time. The audience provides words and phrases to competitors, who then improvise a poem, theatre-sports-style. Email Shane at dirtywords@hotmail.co.uk to sign up for the poetry sports.

I have a whole lot of material in my head, but I am resolute in not deciding on anything until I hear the first few bars of whatever the musicians play.

:o)

This gig is on the second Sunday of every month at 3 pm.
