UWE 'Bristol Sessions' 2022

Hi! On August 3rd 2022 I went in to the recording studio and cut 11 tracks of performance poetry. Everything went well and the results should speak for themselves. Tracks include The Hatchet poems, Big Brother has been done again and some newer material such as The Road to 'Seshlehem', Hectic and my latest poem 'No Prisoners Taken'. Enjoy :)

Track List UWE 'Bristol Sessions' August 2022:

Let Battle Commence: 1st poem in the MC poetry collection from 2020. About the start of the show and its aims and objectives.

The Power & The Struggle: A poem written in 2006 and only performed once at Acoustic Night at the same time. A very urban / Hawkwind inspired poem that is still one of my favorites.
