Our Guest Poet

 

The supremely talented   Kevin McMahon

Kevin is a wordsmith who crafts poems for performance.  His poetry is accesible and often hillarious, though he does put his wonderful vocabulary to use on more serious subjects with the dark and macabre also known to feature.

Although new to the poetry scene, Kevin is already a star having scooped a number of awards.  He can stop a room pin drop dead or have everyone in tears of laughter. 

Poet, entertainer and not one to miss! 

 

Our Guest Musician

 

Daniel Pye aka 'Yarbo'

accompanied by 'Laura James'

 

Yarbo is a talented singer songwriter who lists Nick Drake and Bob Dylan amongst his influences.  He's clearly a young man who's got something about him as to my ear he also had a little of the supurb Fleet Foxes about him.  Accompanied by Laura (a previous Guest musician and Lipa student- also a wonderful talent).

But please you be the judge;

Breaking news

We will be video recording poets and musicians reads/performances (if they want) in high definition 1080p. This is something that can be added to Youtube or facebook pages. A very fancy camera will also do a lot of clicking. If anyone does not wish to be filmed or photographed- no problem.
