JAZZ VERSE JUKEBOX
Join us to celebrate the beginning of
spring, with spoken word from Musa Okwonga, Mark Gwynne Jones, Agnes Meadows and
Anna Le, music from Sarah Moule, plus an open mic for poets and singers.
Compered by & with music from Jumoké
Fashola.
Musa Okwonga is an acclaimed football
writer, poet and musician of Ugandan descent. In 2008 his first football book,
A Cultured Left Foot, was nominated for the William Hill Sports Book of the
Year Award. His poetry and football writing have been featured by
Channel4.com’s 4Talent, Attitude magazine, Prospect, The Times, and The Sunday
Times, and he has twice been a guest on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme; he has
also performed his poetry at the 2008 EU Energy Summit in front of an audience
of EU environment and energy ministers. He is one half of The King's Will, an
electronica outfit that blends poetry, music, and animated videos.
Four times fringe-award winner, Mark Gwynne
Jones is well known for mind altering poetry with an almost music-hall edge. He
mixes humour and poignancy with great skill and through collaborations with
film-makers and musicians he is pushing poetry in new and exciting directions.
Mark’s work is contagious, gritty and sometimes startlingly sensitive. Appearing
solo and with The Psychicbread, a show combining poetry and music Mark has
toured with Kate Rusby and performed alongside The Levellers, Alan Bates, Mark
Radcliffe and John Peel favourites Half Man Half Biscuit. He has sold poetry to
the CIA; written poetry with disenfranchised kids in some of the most deprived
areas of Britain and held various writing residencies in galleries, prisons and
cinema. Mark regularly performs at music and literature festivals throughout
the UK and abroad. In 2008 Loughborough University commissioned Mark to write a
series of poems for a performance walk and following the event’s success,
Gunpowder Parks commissioned him to write in and around four of London’s
central parks exploring what is meant by ‘common ground’ in 21st century
Britain. Mark has won The National Trust Poetry Competition and the Buxton
Festival Fringe. With filmmaker Andy Lawrence, Mark produced a unique series of
6 film-poems. It’s Only Water was broadcast by ITV and The Message, a
screenplay mixing poetry and drama, ran for seven nights on SKY television.
Agnes Meadows has been a Featured Poet with
the Austin International Poetry Festival ten times, and has twice won the Christina
Sergeyevna Award for Outstanding Writing. She has also read and given workshops
at festivals and events all over the world, most recently in Singapore and
Zurich. . Agnes also runs successful poetry events in London,
including ‘Loose Muse’, the capital’s only regular event for women writers at
the Poetry Society’s Poetry Cafe. She has been an adviser on Poetry for
Channel 4 TV. She has written five books of poetry, entitled “You and
Me”, “Quantum Love”, “Woman”, “At Damascus Gate on Good Friday”, and
‘This One Is For You’, the latter three published by Flipped Eye.
Agnes has also produced a CD of her poetry with music, called “Blues Shakin’ My
Heels’. She is currently, and incredibly slowly, writing a novel set in 12th
Century Constantinople, with a woman soldier as the central character.
Anna Le is an undercover word lover,
applying her craft by stealth. Increasingly, Anna is now performing at some of
the most prestigious poetry events including, Farrago, The Poetry Café, and the
Hay Festival.
Recently named by Jazz UK Magazine's Brian
Blain as the Best Live Vocal Jazz Gig in the last 15 years, singer Sarah Moule
has established a rapidly growing reputation as one of Britain's most exciting
jazz vocal talents. Her new one-woman show 'FEMMES FATALES - Songs for the
Fallen, Wild & Wicked' has received standing ovations and been described as
'compelling', 'empowering' and 'highly original' and when performing her
PORTRAIT OF PEGGY LEE, Bob Sinfield of Jazzfm Radio says that ‘something of the
spirit of Peggy Lee seems to come over her. It’s slightly spooky...but in
a very good way’. Sarah’s latest CD, 'A Lazy Kind Of Love' (Red Ram Records
RAM001), marks a new direction in her choice of material, including songs from
unusual sources such as Julie Burchill, Clive James/Pete Atkin and Madonna's
brother-in-law, composer and producer, Joe Henry, as well as continuing her
ongoing musical relationship with legendary American Beat lyricist Fran
Landesman and British composer and pianist Simon Wallace. http://www.sarahmoule.net
