Thanks to Lytisha’s application and subsequent bargaining, we have a crew lined up to perform at the Splendour Festival Fringe, Saturday 18th July, 4pm, somewhere near the main stage. Okay, we’ve only got half an hour to squeeze in as many poets as we can, but we’ll make the most of that and to be sharing the bill with The Specials, James and er Bananarama adds a certain spring to the whole thing.

We’ve got one or two surprises in store as part of our performance, some of them so secret that even the people performing them don’t know exactly how they’ll turn out. Yes, we’re gambling on use of heavy irony, props and possibly even some eccentric percussion performances. Could this be the moment when DIY Poets float towards a family fun form of technicolour psychedelia?

Be there.
