Hamswell Festival/ We Are Poets/ Hammer & Tongue Hackney Slam Final / Buddy Wakefield & more early September Poetry shows

Hamswell Festival was great. Chill Pill (myself, Deanna Rodger & Simon Mole) held down the poetry over the weekend alongside Johnny Fluffypunk.

Woke to clear skies and headed to our next Festival (Festibelly)

The Chill Pill member that was missing from Hamswell was Mista Gee, but that's because he was recording a series for BBC Radio 4 about how poetry workshops have helped prisoners reflect on their lives. It's called 'Poetic Justice' and it starts next Monday at 1:45pm. TUNE IN!
