as for local poetry my longtonian dad used to recite me this. does anyone know where it comes from?
molly dear a pint of beer
awoodbine and a match
a tuppenny halfpenny walking stick to go to the football match
after the ball was centred
after the whistle blew
old stanley got his hair off
and up that wing he flew
he passed it to old frankie
frankie wouldnt do
he passed it to ole nobby
and nobby banged it thru
where was the goalie?
when the ball was in the net
tied to the goalpost
with his knickers round his neck
they put him on a stretcher
they put him on a bed
they rubbed his belly with a lump of jelly
and this is wot he said
rule brittania
two tanners make a bob
three make eighteen pence
and four 2 bob xxx

The first local bands showcase at The Bird in Hand took place on Saturday (11th) called 'Local Heroes' and featured, Audiocrime from Stafford and two bands from Stoke, Amateur Assassins and Herzoga. Rachel the lead singer of Audiocrime had been suffering from a bad cold and bless her cotton socks still did her best and croaked her way through Audiocrime's set. Audiocrime play a fairly formulaic style of music, but it was well honed and when Rachel's voice broke through you wished that her larynx and not been so lacerated by the ravishes of illness, c'est la vie. As Audiocrime performed, the Amateur Assassins to one side of the stage, fired off darts of alcholol fuelled poison arrows, in an attempt to linguistically assassinate the Audiocrime, but thankfully, their anti-rock star rock star antics failed to destroy their targets. Next up indeed were the Assassins themselves, with the vocalist swigging from his 23rd bottle of lager and swaying and stumbling, spitting and screaming over the top of a very tight and noisy band, the Amateur Assassins sought to divide, conquer, then divide again. If you like it you like it, if you don't you won't. So fuck you. Finally, Herzoga took to the stage with a palpable increase in professionalism and stage presence. This was the writer of this reviews first time seeing Herzoga perform and it was impressive. Stylistically, there was a sense of the geek chic, and the music mixed up post-punk choppiness with something that emerged as a groove and back again. The bassist entered the crowd at every opportunity, climbing on the furniture that resides in the back room of the venue and played his own personal gig to the wall for minute or two, was great to watch adding
