North-West London’s own spoken word extravaganza drops anchor at the Good Ship, Kilburn on Tuesday July 7th from 7pm.  Hosted by SYP Speaker Meeting Co-ordinator Rebecca Fenton.

Featuring six performers who range from novelists to poets, the evening’s main emphasis is on quality original writing, performed in the authors’ inimitable styles.

Featuring:

Anna Mae Selby – poetess and lyrical genius with a penchant for big hats and superlatives

Niall Spooner-Harvey – to be heard to be believed, don’t ask this poet to tone down his energy onstage on pain of DEATH http://www.myspace.com/spoonpoetry

Sarah Day – Geological Society supremo by day and super short story writer by night

David Floyd – often a wry social commentary, Floyd’s poetry refreshes parts other poems can’t reach
