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.

Another Frank McMahon Book Launch – Dec 4th @ Nottingham Writers Studio

Another Frank McMahon Book Launch – Dec 4th @ Nottingham Writers Studio

It’s remains to be seen whether Frank arrives on the night in a pair of chunky platform boots and clip on ginger sideburns, but he says he’d like to sing like Noddy Holder, and that’s understandable – that Black Country barrel house bellow is awe inspiring.

‘I Wish I Could Sing Like Noddy Holder’ is Frank’s 5th or 6th book. I’m losing count. I know some people are waiting for the box set, but when poetry of this quality is on offer that would be foolhardy.

Frank will be reading from the book at this event, and other members of DIY POETS will also perform. Music from Pegefo, and vinyl spins by John Humphries.

Unmissable.
