    I’d like to watch those shows where people demean themselves for a chance to touch Ant and Dec but I’m usually busy counting the scabs on my neighbours rottweiler.

About me:


Alchemy In Nowhere Town from Phil Bambridge on Vimeo.

In this section I will be talking in the third person about how I’m well awesome and properly big time.

You heard me, not only will I be bragging, but I’ll be doing it whilst referring to my self as an entirely separate entity. I am utterly convinced that this is a well cool thing to do and not at all the behaviour of a self aggrandizing fucktard:

Slam champion Byron Vincent was (poorly) educated within the in the cloying conurbation of various northern sink estates. His flowery name and love of language ensured that his journey was a challenging one. Never a defeatist he fought back with poetry. This was a terrible strategy and he regularly got his head kicked in.

With poems such as Kevin’s an ‘erbert and Never buy drugs at a festival amongst his repertoire Byron’s subversive brand of barking doggerel has taken the UK poetry scene by storm and kicked it until it’s handed over it’s wallet.

Byron is a regular at many of the UK’s most prestigious music and literary events including, Cheltenham festival of literature, Oxford literature festival, Glastonbury festival of performing arts, Latitude festival and Bristol Poetry festival. He has performed at venues as diverse as London’s Whitechapel gallery and Leeds /Reading festival’s alternative stage. He has appeared on BBC 3’s the verb alongside Roger Mcgough and Ian McMillan and radio 4's Bespoken Word. He has shared the bill with such luminaries as John Cooper Clarke, John Hegley, Simon Armitage and Patti Smith. He is currently in the throws of preparing for three collaborative national tours as well as being involved in numerous live literature, writing, film and radio projects.

“Byron Vincent was born to be a poet. A consummate performer, achingly funny, He’s the brightest new star on the block. Heidi Stephenson – Apples and snakes.

“Like a bad ass version of Roger McGough” “He’s clever, witty, a cut above” Rosemary Dun, Big Mouth poetry.

“Looks and sounds like he could easily of stumbled off an Artic Monkeys tour bus” Bristol Evening Post”

“Hilarious” BBCi

    Yo,

    All groovy ta.  I've been hybernating quite a bit, re-hashing a play I did at Drama school into a radio play.  I'm going to send it to the BBC n see if they're interested.  It's mostly about my Granny.  Other than that generally amusing myself. I put some friends onto you (The Byron Vincent Co-oporation, Plc) and they wondered if you'd be up for doing a 'gig' in Hebden Bridge at The Trades Club?  Quite a bizarre place and worth a visit purely on a sociological level.  You'd be remunerated of course but I've no idea what you're worth these days. I think someone's trying to get a comedy night going there or something and they really like your thang.  Anyhow let me know if you're interested.

    Bye bye X

    Hi Byron. I was wondering if I could ask you a favour? I've got a mate who's doing a study on what "Preston means to you..... and what is it that makes it Preston". I'm sorry to hit you with an exam question after so long off myspace but I felt you might have something worthwhile for her. Everyone else has just said "drunks"

    peace

    Hi Bilas,

    I gather you've been schlepping about at Shunt.  I keep meaning to go when I'm in London.  Are you doing any more there? I might be there next week.

    Hope all's well with you, Mia X

    Thank ya thank ya for the add lol hey, You like muppets and porn? Ever see " Meet the Feebles?" That kind of embellishes the idea, well I guess it's like the muppets gone mad.  My dad almost met  Jim Henson then he croaked...too late , yeh, im an odd one

    Hello sir,

    wondering if I'd said hello yet or not, didn't think I had.  Hope you are good and still looking youthful for your 34 years.

    PS. You should try to wood push again, it's good for the soul.

    PPS. Mmmm maybe wood push was the wrong phrase to use...

    Thanks, I'm thinking about it as it isn't too far a trek from where I am.  The only interest my local arts theatre roused recently was an evening with Pam Ayers, but she was sold out!

    I was just checking the tickets situation for your stint in St Albans on 22nd, BUT you're showing as being there a week later on 29th.  T'is at the Maltings, non?

    Really, they have a cure for it now. That is a relief. Everyone I've slept with you say? Don't have Sally's number by any chance do you mate?

    I'm not going this year sadly. I was a little disappointed with last years, the Apples and Snakes was the best performance by far all weekend :)
    Was good to hear new stuff (you and Berkavitch) as well as seeing acts I already like (Jamie Woon) :)

    I shall take your advice on teepee security although we're off to a big home educator's festival so they're more likely to paint it creatively or use it to illustrate a principle of geometry rather than nick it. Glad you got to perform at Glastonbury and I'm sure it was more than "ok".
    Sorry to hear you've done your back in too.  Get back to the doctors and be all forceful...or failing that, read your Bob poem at him/her and it should at least get you sectioned, possibly a hospital bed and one step nearer to some bloody treatment.  Hope you get it sorted soon.  Sarah x

    go to see an osteopath soon as you can. i think there's one on gloucester road--i went to the family practice one on coronation rd: 0117 9669724 or the wells rd one: 01179710221. i felt momentarily like a human internet then--or 'worm' as nokka, the naturist from mousehole, once called it--but it's really just because i use her card as a bookmark and it was to hand as i saw your plea for help.

    when you're better, do you want to do a gig with us 14th august at the grain barge?

    oh, rest loads, but don't stay completely still, because your whole body will seize up like a raped arse hole.

    ahh. alas i did not stay pink! if i wasn't so stoned i don't think i would have ever done it! i was a fool to think i could pull it off just because lily allen could! i take it you live near by then? but surely not originally... with your lovely accent and all. and i didnt recognise your face.. more your lovely jacket xxx

    i'm not sure. but i think me and my friend drunkenly came across you on cotham brow, and i had pink hair which you told me was nice, you gave us your lighter to use.... maybe it wasn't you. but none the less your face seems familiar and this is the only place i can place you x
