Come Rhyme With Me

Happy Friday and all that!

Tonight, I start a nice little 3-legged gig run with Come Rhyme With Me starting in Crawley today, then Brighton on May 16th (feat Sabrina Mahfouz and Kendel Hippolyte) and finishing May 30th in London (feat Moona Moon and Jay Bernard). 

Crawley is a town where I did a lot of my growing up and still have a lot of fond memories so I'm pretty excited, my parents are coming! It's part of the annual Crawley Wordfest which is a jam packed schedule of decent events happening around the town. The line up for Crawley features heavyweights Hollie McNish, Sabrina Mahfouz, and of course Dean Atta and Deanna Rodger who run the event. Come and reach!

Crawley Wordfest: Spoken Word Sunday 1st April

Greetings!

This Sunday (1st April 2012), at Adelio's Open House in Crawley, I've asked to put together a spoken word evening as part of the ever expanding Crawley Wordfest. Now in it's second year, it's come on even stronger than last, all you need to do is have a look at the programme of events on the website. This is a great thing for me to be part of as  Crawley is the town where I did a lot of my growing up. I went to school there, I had and still have, good friends there, I first MCed in Crawley, I played football in Crawley, I went to cadets in Crawley, I got drunk (many times) in Crawley the list goes on....

I've called upon some good friends and some of London's strongest performers to come down and grace the stage, they go by the names of Dean Atta Rob Auton and Sean Mahoney. 

Doors open at 7:30 and it's a mere £3 on the door!
