Ello Mr Lloyd, loved your set last thurs! Typical bloody council's and there bouncing check's ey, lol! Loved 'This Town' in particular, inspired me to finish a poem about South East LDN that I started so long ago but for numerous reasons couldn't finish! Will definately have to have a creative link up soon!

Busy is good as long as you never get to that #overwhelmed' point. I've pulled back on teaching so I can produce my own work. Do you know any female poets who write about Mother daughter bonds / relationships...it is the theme of my first full length choreography and I want to integrate text. George's piece is going well and this week we have been to see DV8's show which had lots of amazing monologue / solo vignettes that integrated text and movement. Have you seen it? Very clever and sublime in it's technical correlation of gesture and sound.
Yes the copy you spoke of would be great. Do I get DEMo tape direct from you too..you could pop it in with that.
If you are coming down this way...could we not arrange a small gig here??? Coffee would be good regardless!!
Thanks bro, I checked out that vid. That's inspirational and hard hitting, you're telling it like it is! :-P I salute you for being a man with the courage to stand out from the crowd.
respect.. i got 2 NEW BANGERS!! right on my page HEAVY HITTERS!..plus
dont forget i put up 2 Albums for anybody.. FREE 4 DL.. check me out
and much love
Hey Mat, how goes it? I have a GCSE student who is using your 'blokes' poem/video as a stimulus and accompaniment for his solo dance composition. He is a strong lad, and I'm confident it will be good...will let you know!!
Amazon has admitted defeat on the 'Demo' book so I'll have to order one through you.
How's tricks...a busy summer on the festival circuit? Tee J x
I've moved to Norwich to study, and it's as nice as Norwich can be, i'm slowly investigating the open mic scene out here, but whenever i'm back in london i'll be sure to look you up :D Hash x
