A week ain’t what it was
Funny how your days are spent eh?
This week started on Monday with a gig in Southampton at 451 Nuffield Theatre. A very sit down spoken word affair. the word poetry being used a lot. To be honest not the kind of thing I associate myself with most times due to the word poetry still having the ability to go through me like a bad joke (but that’s my own issue). I had a lovely evening. Travelled up with my friend Deanna Rodger and told some stories about Birmingham and then ran off to get a train with Deanna and Sophia Blackwell where we played cards with the greatest deck of footballer picture cards ever and listened to Deanna talk about the Apocalypse.
Tuesday (last night) my good friend and film buddy Eddie sorted us out press tickets to see Iron Man 2 in Leicester Square. Massive screen, packed out and a thoroughly enjoyable blockbuster. If you enjoyed the first one you’ll really like this and it reinforces the fact that Robert Downey Jr has all of the charisma and range that Ed Norton was supposed to have.
In a minute today I’m off to BBC Radio 3 to record ‘The Verb’ definitely my favourite radio spoken word type show. Ian Mcmillan the host is lovely and I always learn something or find out about someone when I go on there. I’ll be speaking extracts from ‘RETURN’ and talking a bit about stuff I think.
Tomorrow night I’m hosting Secret Wars Euro league in Southampton @ The Soul Cellar last battle I hosted between Southampton and Barcelona was brilliant and the Southampton lads set a high bar with their piece so I’m looking forward to seeing what happens tomorrow. I’ll be doing bits in between stuff and generally hosting proceedings. Come down.
Friday night I’m doing this 
I wrote something for the start of the album
and will be performing it with live string section.
Which is nice.
And then it’s Saturday and I’m off to Brum to teach and see my granddad who just reached over from Jamaica. Writing the starts of lots of ideas at the minute too so on course for my new full spoken word set in time for summer. Supposed to be hot today.
nice one
