Quiet: It's ... Hammer and Tongue!
Yes, the celebrated Hammer & Tongue is back on in Oxford after the seasonal break, with a special first event of the new year to be held this Tuesday evening at the QI club in Turl Street, involving an Open Mic and an extended feature slot, with a workshop earlier in the evening (a fantastic chance for participants to get feedback on poems and tips on performance). The special guest for this first 'Quiet: It's ... Hammer & Tongue' will be the incomparable Mark Gwynne Jones, who last performed in Oxford at the Brickworks in March 2004.
"Mark Gwynne Jones is to poetry what The League of Gentleman is to TV scheduling" - Martin Newell in The Independent
"A charming performer. See him live." – John Hegley
Examples of Mark Gwynne Jones’ work (including film poems, music and audio poems) can be found at his website for those who wish to sample before buying. Mark will be performing throughout the event, in between the participative Open Mic performance sections.
If you'd like to take part, you can sign up for an Open Mic slot by arriving between 7.30 and 8pm and getting your name on the list.
Tuesday 24th January at The QI Club, Turl Street, Oxford (between High St and Broad St), 8pm onwards. Tickets are £5 or free to QI members. Feature performer Mark Gwynne Jones. Open Mic slot 8pm to 10:15pm. Workshop 5:30pm - 7pm.
Please note that subsequent Quiet: It's Hammer & Tongues will take place on the third Tuesday of the month. For more information, you can try visiting the Hammer & Tongue website, though it's awaiting updates at the moment, or email any queries to poetry@hammerandtongue.org
