Performances Over The Summer


I hope everyone is fine and dandy.
 A few people have asked me recently what I'm up to so here's some dates of some performance stuff I'm doing over the next few months.....

Friday 20th May - Phase One Studio Session
This is the first session of this type which Phase One are doing, I'll be part of a live performance which will be recorded and filmed. Their inviting people to comedown and film themselves with a view to contributing footage towards the final cut. I will be performing a few pieces and a very gifted singer songwriter called Nick Evans http://www.nickevans.co.uk/. I've been told there is space for a small audience so if you would like to come just send me an email, particularly if anyone would like to film it!

27th - 29th May - Meadowlands Festival 
This will be the first of a few festivals I'm doing and I can't wait, it's somewhere down in the Sussex countryside and I like the countryside. I'll be in the Bang Said The Gun  tent on the 28th and29th for a short set alongside fellow Rubix members Talia Randal and Deanna Rodger and loads of other big names form the spoken word and comedy circuit.

Sun 29th May - Poejazzi 
From the fields to the tall buildings I'll be heading straight from Sussex (maybe via Mum and dads for a cup of tea if I'm lucky) to London to perform at Poejazzi. I feel really honoured to be doing this as it's one of the best nights in London and both the roll call of names that have performed there in the past and the excellent guys that run it speak for themselvs!!

16 - 18th June - Beachbreak Festival 
After the successful 'work in progress' version of show House Party I did with The Rubix at the Roundhouse in March, we will be taking it on the road for the first time to perform at this festival which I'm told is actually on a Beach, in South Wales. the only other time I've ever been to Wales was in 2004 when the almighty Millwall played Man United in the FA cup final, and to be fair, I don't remember a great deal about the day!

8th July - 10th July - Lounge On the Farm
I'll be performing all 3 days at this one and I think it will be around different parts of the festival in a funky installation type way, it should be fun

20th July - 24th - Secret Gardern Party
I'll be doing the whole 4 days at this one am particularly excited because all the material is specially being written for the 4 days I will be there. I'm proud to be going as part of group including Chimene Suleyman, Dean Atta, Deanna Rodger, Sabrina Mahfouz, Bridget Minamore and Sean Mahoney.....I can't say too much at the minute but all will be revealed!!!

2nd August - 6th August, Richard Pernell at The Hen and Chickens 
I've been asked to support Richard Pernell http://richardpurnell.wordpress.com  who is a doing a 1 man show, he is a very smart and funny man, so hopefully, this will be great.

15th 20th August - Edinburgh festival - The banshee Labyrinth (PBH Free Fringe)

I'll be going back to Edinburgh again this year as part of the PBH free fringe and will be performing at the same venue as the show I did last year with the Roundhouse Poetry Collective. The show is currently being written and is called "three's a crowd".

Well, I think that's about it. if you've got this far, thankyou for reading.

Sunday 1 May 2011

But I made you a mixtape event...

Hello.

I'm looking forward to this excellent event next week. It's a spoken word event put on by How It Ended Productions. It's at a theatre called Jacksons Lounge. It's about music, and I've been asked to write about a song. I love music and could talk about it all day long. I also like performing in theatre studio spaces. I don't get to do it too often, it adds something to the way the words come out. So if you're about, come down, Sean Mahoney, Dean Atta and Zionte (all from Rubix) will be performing too. large up!
