DIY POETS Quarterly Gig @ The Maze, Nottingham, Thurs 11th Feb 2016, 7:45

DIY maze Feb 2016 blake depp FINAL pdfAs featured in today’s Nottingham Evening Post, and fresh from the exertions of Nottingham Poetry Festival, mingling with the likes of Henry Normal and Lemn Sissay, and from jumping on stage to perform at any given opportunity, DIY POETS are back on home turf at the Maze.
So, to sample some very fine poetry, from a diverse and colourful line up, covering every subject under the sun, from potatoes to Donald Trump, although the difference there is not great, from bass players to unruly technology, from chocolate bunnies to mobile phones, from romance to psychedelia, it’s kaleidoscopic, a sonic tonic for the chronic cynic, and also too for innocent bystanders who only came in for a quiet pint.
Headlining is the metrical maestro, Leanne Moden, who has the knack of pulling you right into her dazzling breeze of words. Don’t miss.
And stay around to check out POP ORCHESTRA, our music act.

DIY POETS’ DIARY DATES – November 2015

DIY POETS’ DIARY DATES – November 2015

While some people grow facial hair during the month of November, DIY POETS find themselves with a growing diary. Dates are sprouting like sideburns chemically enhanced by steroids, some of them DIY POETS events, plus others attended regularly by the collective. I’m assembling this lot from the back of crumpled fag packets and faded biro scribble from the back of my hand, so it may be incomplete, but nonetheless it’s a neatly trimmed, well groomed web post:
