Speak Easy, November 2024

 

Last night at Speak Easy (Our Spoken Word Open Mic night at Dulicmer, Chorlton) was a special night for a few reasons as a old uni friend of mine who I have known for the better part of 25 years read, Andy and also Natasha Tingle (who guest hosted) had the pleasure of introducing her son, Simon on stage, Speak Easy I’ve found over the years, me, Amanda and Steve Smythe have ran it have found it is full of wonderful little stories which bring it together into the welcoming and friendly and supportive family that it was. I found out off Andy this morning before he drove back home, he thought it was going to be a quiet, little reading maybe around the table, not having 22 readers and over 50 to 55 people attending with people from Simon’s age (21) right up to Kevin Bamford (who is 90) and he said to me honestly, he wishes he lived more local as he would be there all the time.

Pictures from the night are now uploaded on the Speak Easy page as always took by Amanda are now on our facebook page –

New Spoken Label Podcast - Kate Jenkinson

 

* Bonus Episode *

Latest up from Spoken Label (Spoken Word Podcast / Poetry) features the return of our friend, Kate Jenkinson.

Dr Kate Jenkinson is scientist and poet reconciled and is one of a handful of LinkedIN Business Poets. She likes hats, writes about the many ones she wears (Mother, Daughter, Friend, Coach, entrepreneur) and she enjoys performing at open mics and slams since the pandemic made the poetry community more accessible. In 2022 she performed her TEDx talk Poetry Never Abandons Us and she enjoys attending and headlining events internationally.

Her work can be found in EyeFlash, Good DadHood, Steel Jackdaw, Flight of the Dragonfly and Feral (their first Mother/Daughter poetry and art collaboration).

Kate recently realised she was neurodivergent so this and her aphantasia is a feature of her recent work.

This bonus episode talks directly about Kate's debut poetry book 'Unbroken'.

'Unbroken' is described as "Kate Jenkinson's debut collection is a tale of self-discovery. Delving into her past to analyse and embrace her neurodivergencies. Sometimes heart-wrenching and difficult, sometimes glorious and life-affirming, always about acceptance.

As an aphantasic poet, it is about much more than creating a visual image for Kate. Her poetry lies in the sounds, tastes and touch that she experiences; the emotions that come from all senses. With sublime natural lyricism, and joy in wordplay, rhyme and alliteration, her slam poetry comes to life on the page. Sitting alongside beautiful form and free verse poetry, it is a marriage of the soul.

Kate's poetry will have you looking inward, while she holds your hand, showing you how to accept yourself to ultimately become Un/Broken"

Kate can be found on both facebook and Linkedin:

D.I.H. and friends - Christmas album call out 2024

 

Back again for its 22th anniversary(Barring a few gaps off course), D.I.H. and friends at Christmas are now after experimental, ambient, songs (on any topic), poetry and music tracks on the theme of Christmas.

As can be seen on www.digitalvomit.com/dih-and-friends, DIH and friends have since 2002 been producing an annual series of anti-Christmas songs for people who really don’t like Christmas or have a very alternative viewpoint of the season in question.

The history of the project from Digital Vomit state ‘The origin behind the infamous series of DIH with friends at Christmas began back in 2002 when for a one off joke as a side project from his more official work in D.I.H., Andy N one year decided with the help of one or two friends decided to do in his words ‘ A Christmas album for those people who don’t really like Christmas’ where in the space of half an hour (as was the original plan) – Andy and a few friends would murder, cripple and take the piss out of as many songs as they could.

However, as is the nature of the beast with this sort of thing things snowballed and by the time the second album came along, It had become officially a D.I.H. project where they would between all the members in D.I.H. alongside an ever-increasing cast play around with the myth of the Christmas, which will often be funny and sad sometimes within the same breath.

The music contained within this series of albums is varied and can vary from spoken word (sometimes with musical backing or experimental backing), acoustic singer-songwriter music stuff that could appeal to fans of Aphex Twin, hardcore, breakbeats, dubstep, fans of the spoken word, re-imagining of carols and classic songs, faithful versions of Christmas carols and songs and generally people who like their music to challenge and make them think.

For reasons too long-winded and boring to go into here, D.I.H. took a break from the Christmas albums in 2012 before starting up again in 2015.

Following on from their 2015 comeback, we are now expecting submissions for our 2024 album, our fourth album since starting up again with anything and everything encouraged from experimental, drones, ambient, Christmas Carols, Poems, songs.. whatever takes your guardian really..

Anything is welcome by email to either myself aen1mpo@yahoo.co.uk. (Andy N).

Send it in a wav format if possible. 

Me and Keith can also be contacted viva Facebook for further questions 

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011783198151 (Andy)

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=627682972 (Keith)

The complete archive can be sampled here - http://www.digitalvomit.com/dih-and-friends

and the album will be released on Hicc Records on https://hicc.bandcamp.com/ as a free download

Closing date - 22 December 2024

New Spoken Label Podcast - Lesedi Letsoalo

 

The latest from Spoken Label (Spoken Word / Poetry Podcast) features the amazing Lesedi Letsoalo, making her debut.

Lesedi Letsoalo is a 20-year-old South African writer studying Accounting Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand. My Grief - Booked is her first solo book and was written after her grandmother, who had been her primary caregiver/guardian since she was an infant, passed away very suddenly in 2021 due to COVID-19. The loss opened her eyes to how much stigma, shame and negativity surrounds the inevitable emotions that come with grief and loss, thus she not only wrote the book, but published it. She aims to raise more awareness to the impact of grief and loss on individuals, to educate society on how to be kinder to people going through it. Another goal of hers is to create a safe space for grievers to sit with and in their true and authentic emotions, however heavy they may be, and know that it's normal and okay to feel the way that they're feeling during whatever their time of their grief.

Her debut full-length collection "My Grief ~ Booked" can be found on Amazon.
Her email address to contact for more details is lesediletsoalo02@gmail.com

New Spoken Label Podcast - Peter Topping

 

Latest up from Spoken Label (Author / Artist / Poetry Podcast) features the

amazing Peter Topping.

Peter is a local artist in the Chorlton Area and has worked on several books with historian Andrew Simpson. He has also written his own book entitled “Smile Dammit Smile!!! – Chorlton”.

He has created many “History Walls” and art installations around Chorlton together with Manchester historian Andrew Simpson.

Together with Andrew he has created 14 books on the history of Chorlton and Manchester

He was The Chorlton Arts Festival Director for 4 years.

At the present, he is working as Virtual Arts Festival Director for Chorlton Arts and also is putting together artwork by local artists to be displayed on hoardings around Chorlton-cum-Hardy.

In 2023, at the age of 74, he started collating the poems he had already written and started to write new poems reflecting on his life so far.

He then worked on a project with Lindy Newns, which came about while he was working on The Virtual Chorlton Arts Festival for 2024. Peter was curating the Literary Arts section and was creating the exhibition panel that carried Lindy’s entry. As he read the poem, he began to think that perhaps he could enliven the panel by painting a picture of the scene.

He then decided that it would be fun to have a collection of Lindy’s poems illustrated in the same way, mixing the two arts together, literary and visual, in what would be an exciting book to read, and to view.

The rest is revealed in this feature length podcast

New Spoken Label Podcast - Jo Somerset

 

Latest up from Spoken Label, features the return of our friend, Jo Somerset.

Jo Somerset is based in Manchester. She completed a MA in Creative Writing in May 2020 at the University of Salford, where she received the Leanne Bridgewater Award for Innovation and Experiment. Like Isla, Jo grew up in Birmingham with an unspoken Celtic heritage. A love of the Hebrides and her experience with a blended family underlie Isla’s heartfelt journey towards finding her origins and a new self-belief.

In this Podcast, we primarily talk about Jo's new book "Mission: Find Mum"

This book is described as "Isla and Lac's mum is missing, but has left clues, and an emergency credit card. The children travel from Birmingham to Mora, a Scottish island, camping and tracking their mum. Hampered by challenges and unsure of who to trust, can Isla and Lac succeed in their mission? What else will they find... and lose? For ages 10 and up."

The book can be bought directly from Stairwell books:

New Spoken Label Podcast - Toki Ward (Onion Mash)

 

Latest up from Spoken Label features Toki Ward from the band Onion Mash.

Onion Mash are a 4 piece female-fronted melodic (mainly) hard-rock band formed in 2021, but as the name suggests, their music is a mash up- a little bit hard-rock, heavy metal elements off melodic, even a little punk with raw emotional vocals, big personalities and plenty of hooky riffs.

New Spoken Label Podcast - Unspoken

 

Latest up from Spoken Label (Poetry / Spoken Word Podcast) features Unspoken.

Unspoken is a Tampa poet, actor, host, workshop facilitator and member of the Growhouse Collective who has performed throughout the US both professionally and competitively. A 2nd Generation American, much of Unspoken's writing deals with being Latino in the U.S. and the nature of identity. Unspoken also writes about mental health through the lens of his own experiences in the hopes that people with both internal and external struggles can relate to what he went through and feel someone can understand whatever they're going through. When he isn’t writing, Unspoken likes to plan vacations he can't afford, rewatch Scrubs a concerning number of times, and agonize about not writing.

Unspoken is also working on his debut poetry collection, Unspoken Perspectives, out soon.

New Spoken Label Podcast - Hayley Lynn Gordon

 

Latest up from Spoken Label (Poetry / Spoken Word Podcast) features making her debut, the amazing Hayley Lynn Gordon.

Hayley is a mother of 2 and a spoken word artist, known as, Twisted Tales and was born and raised in Anfield, Liverpool. She writes about motherhood, love, heartache, co-parenting, grief, addiction, mental health and random stuff e.g. about her cat eating ham!

She started a project in 2023 that involves incorporating music with spoken word and is on the look out for musicians to collaborate with in the future.

Her poetry journey began in July 2021, when she saw a post from "A Lovely Word" advertising an open mic night. She finally found the courage to stand up in St James' Gardens and read "Lemonade Grenade" for the first time, to far more people than she expected. Since then, Hayley's life has been a rollercoaster and she's found writing helps her navigate through lifes ups and downs. Music is a big passion and she has been inspired by many artists, such as Stevie Nicks, Taylor Swift, Paramore, The Cure, Prince, Marilyn Monroe many more.

Hayley is also one of the many women platformed by Claire Berry's popular "Fem De La Femme Comedy and Spoken Word" events at The Everyman, Liverpool. This amazing comedy night also raises money for various women's organisations within the Merseyside area every 3 months and is so proud to be apart of an organisation that empowers women and also gives back to the comminity.

Hayley mainly performs her poetry with "A Lovely Word" at "The Everyman" and "Word Vomit" at "Round The Corner". She performed during the poetry festival hosted by "A Lovely Word" and "Unusual Art Sourcing Company" in Liverpool for the launch of their poetry zine during June and July 2024, whilst also competing at "A Lovely Word Slam Competition" at the Shakespeare North Playhouse (2023) and The Everyman (2024).

Hayley also recently hosted an intimate poetry reading with the local community in Dovecot MAC and had a ball whilst being interviewed by Andy NPoet for his podcast "Spoken Label".

New Spoken Label Podcast - Kate Ireland

 

Latest up from Spoken Label (Spoken Word / Poetry Podcast), making her debut is the amazing Kate Ireland.

Kate describes herself "Hi there, I'm an artist from Scotland with a fidgety brain. I play with the boundaries of performance, installation, text, and community practice.

My art is all about fighting the urge to optimize ourselves through language and gathering.

It is also about connecting to the primal, childlike, strange and tender parts of ourselves.

I also love working with my pals and seeing creative projects as an excuse to parallel play."

This chat is primarily about her debut album with Locksy "Self Regulating Behaviours".

This album is described as "An audio-visual performance and pamphlet that explores the relationship between the performer's behaviour and impulses in the face of neurotypical, hyper-capitalist standards of optimisation. Accompanied by a Sheffield-based producer

and DJ, the performance features distorted words, missed phone calls, and increasingly bizarre wellness rules.

The album is on bandcamp at: https://kateireland.bandcamp.com/album/self-regulating-behaviour.
