Today’s Bit Delayed

November 4, 2009 Music, poetry, Spoken Word No comments



Hellooo. Well I’m having issues with various updates to my site’s back-end, so this is coming via my mobile app (my Twitter feed isn’t working either)

Anyhow, if this makes it through the mess, you should seriously consider getting along to The Bedford, 77 Bedford Hill, Balham SW12 9HD this Sunday. Because from 1pm (1300) this Sunday, the OneTaste collective is holding an uber, mega festival all day (well, from 1pm). I’ll be there, but here are the reasons for you to come:

- great entertainment from the likes of Inua Ellams, Benin City (you remember them, right?), Kate Tempest, Ross Sutherland…

-Newton Faulkner’ll be there. I kid you not. He’ll be there and playing!

- what…you want more?

Honestly it looks set to be a cracking day, and if you’re interested head to the OneTaste site.

Right well, YouTube Pick of The Week will follow tomorrow and I’ll catch you soon!

PoeJazzi. Missed It? Missed Out…this time.

So, if you weren’t at Poejazzi at Camden’s Proud Galleries last night, you missed out big time. It was the best damn Monday night I’ve had in a loong while, let me tell you. But ‘what did I miss?’ I hear you ask. Well let me tell and show you.

You missed (as ordered on the bill),

All of who were fantastic.  But if you weren’t there then you missed out a bit. Which is a shame. However, tomorrow I’ll let you know about another grand happening in London town this Sunday. So don’t forget to check back then.

Cheers! Kev
