www.afharrold.co.uk - big-bearded tea-drinking occasionally-yak-obsessed
eccentric genius. Viv Stanshall meets Edward Lear in a bowler hat shop in
Reading. Elvis' co-collaborator on "Yaks 'n Kilts 'n Rock 'n Roll".
www.bbc.co.uk - the
Radio 4 "Saturday Live" homepage has the text of poems performed by Elvis on
previous shows.
www.colonyroom.com - "rush up, read up, write up and fuck off". Quite.
www.hammerandtongue.co.uk - mighty fine purveyors of cutting edge slam
poetry. Fronted by the tireless and frankly heroic Steve Larkin. As Harry
Hill's cat Stouffer would say if he'd ever been to one of their slams,
"respect due".
www.henrybowers.com - another big-bearded genius. This one's from Sweden and
doesn't drink tea. Tom Waits meets Chuck D in a country-hip-hop-hoedown in
uptown Uppsala. Nice. We like.
www.myspace.com/jamiekilstein - funny, angry, political, brilliant.
www.mikemcgee.net - do you know the way to San Jose? Mike does. He lives
there. "Writer, poet, comic, talker, chubby hobo traveller". Top poet. Top
fella. With an impressive beard. What is it with these beards?
www.rachelpantechnicon.com - Author of "Michelle And The House Of Crisps".
The "lovechild that Eddie Izzard and Pam Ayres never knew they had". Owner
of Harold the cat. Collaborator with Elvis and AF Harrold on "The Big
Bearded Tartan Elf Shelf Show". When Sue Perkins saw Rachel perform she wet
herself with laughter.
www.spoz.net - the website of Birmingham's poet laureate no less. Go and
visit. You may be surprised. Very surprised. Bostin'.
www.writeoutloud.net - excellent website/organisation promoting performance
poetry "of the people, by the people"
