This Saturday, from 1pm, a poetry event called 100 thousand poets for change will be taking place in Shot In The Dark on City Road. Not all of you live in Cardiff, of course, but the event will be (gulp) livestreamed here oh my goodness.
The theme is "the doors of perception," and I'll be performing at rrrroughly quarter to 2, but do get online / there from 1pm. There's going to be some QUALITY wordsmithery going on. In fact, right after me, Leeum Johnson is performing, and you know what I think of him (hint: he is ammmmaaaaazing).
Also, and this is so so exciting, the headline act is Labi Siffre. This Labi Siffre.
THIS LABI SIFFRE.
This may sound cheesy or whatever but this song used to make me cry when I was a teenager and still felt feelings right. That I'm going to meet the man who wrote these words AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
and all after that was incoherence and panicking
I better come up with something GREAT. At least I'm not reading after Leeum, I really don't think that would go well for me.
So yes, come if you can, sign up to Bambuser if you can't. Entry is free, any donations made will go to Lapidus Cymru. I'm nervous.
Ooh. An afternoon gig? Well I hope to see you there!
ReplyDeleteSadly I'll be on the train at that point but I know you're going to smash it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with it today! I might tune in, and then feel lazy. Hope it goes well!
ReplyDeleteWell it was lovely to see you as always. But I'm immensely sorry that I wasn't there at the right time to see you perform.
ReplyDeletevids or it didn't happen.
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe it did but I won't have seen it!
A vid link would be great.
