MY FINAL GIG THIS YEAR!
This Wednesday I do my final gig of the year before I go into my regular S.A.D. hibernation months. It's going to be a good one too - look at that lineup! I'm doing a revised and tweaked version of my show that I did at Colchester Summer Fringe (and testing out all the new visual equipment...eek!), the force of nature that is VIRGINIA BETTS will also be doing a feature length set, and the night opens with short sets from 3 amazing poets - DAVID MUSTILL, DAWN VINCENT and MICHAEL BAMBER. It's at BIN93 in Ipswich. You should come along. Its just £5 advance or £7 on the door, with money going to cover the poet's expenses. TICKET LINK IN BIO.

COMING VERY SOON! In a matter of weeks I will be in full-on S.A.D. hibernation mode (it's already nipping at me a little bit, tbh) for FOUR MONTHS and thus this is my final poetry gig of 2026. Would be great if YOU (yes, YOU!) were there!

I'm doing a slightly tweaked version of my one hour Fringe show - Poetry for People Who Think They Don't Like Poetry! - from over the summer, with visuals and all sorts! It'll be a lot of fun!

The amazing @ginnb900 is also doing a feature set - including some songs! - and we have no less than three BRILLIANT (capitals entirely deserved) openers doing 15 mins each to get you thoroughly warmed up!

A real celebration of local poetry and spoken word. DON'T DELAY, GET A TICKET TODAY (The venue isn't massive)!

Q: Where did all the exclamation marks go, James?
A: I used 'em all in this post by the look of it...
