London Calling

I have two scheduled visits back to my native city coming shortly. Various gigs are booked (see below), but if anybody in or near London wishes to hire my services around the end of June or the beginning of August, I will happily consider being paid. Or at any other time, come to that. :)

Tuesday 28 June, 7:30pm
The Book Club, Shoreditch (100 Leonard St., London EC2A - Tube: Liverpool St./Old St.)
Glam Slam UK 2011
Guest poets: Emanuel Xavier, Chris Young and Catherine Brogan.
Following three fierce and successful instalments, Ernesto Sarezale brings Glam Slam back to The Book Club in Shoreditch. The Glam Slam is a poetry competition in two rounds and there are four competing categories: loss, work, lust and wig-a-poem (a poem about any subject). There is a £100 prize up for the best verbal vogue! Non-competitive open mic slots also available. Door: £5; £3 concessions; FREE for participants.
