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

    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.

    hellooo! there's a new poem on my player, called "Moonwalk".. i wonder if you can guess what it's about. I dunno what's going on, I can actually write things.
    EXCITED for Latitude!! x

    Did you get to perform at the weekend or were you too busty interegating people to find the whereabouts of your beloved teepee?  But, glib comments aside, it's so horrible when someone does something like that as it often means you trust everyone a little less. I hope you had somewhere to sleep for the weekend and didn't lose any other stuff. We're about to head for HESFES in our new teepee next week....but I was nowhere near Glastonbury last week  I promise and, if I know you, you had your name in it somewhere like your P.E. kit. Hope you have a better time this week. Let us think of terrible things that could befall your thief...might I suggest, the central pole becomes a large lightening conductor, igniting the (also stolen) booze in their tent and engulfing them in flames?????? Go on, think of teepee Karma. Get it all out hehehe xx Sarah

    Byron, is there, perchance, anywhere in the interweb a site where your poems are written down? It'd make your poems a lot easier to analyse for A level english if I didn't have to transcribe them from your videos.

    Thanks

    ACCORDING TO bbc.co.uk/poetryseason; Byron Vincent describes himself as "poorly educated on various northern sink estates". He delivered the best poem I've heard about Britain's drink problems and is underrated by nobody but himself.
