TRASHCAN

09.04.2008
We did the live show last night and it was one of my favourite gigs ever. The audience was fantastic, and our venue, an amazingly well preserved Masonic Temple. All the poets performed superbly. We were sad to not have Tim Clare with us, but he was ill.

Hattrick and I will now cut the recordings up a bit and create some taster tapes for the networks. I'll probably post some of it here too.

Hosted by Luke Wright

With their finger more firmly on the pulse than a happy-slapping nurse Hattrick presents Trashcan – the premier place for the dark young things of the UK poetry scene get to mouth off on the airwaves. Flitting from the whimsical short stories of Dockers MC to macabre surrealism of Ross Sutherland, from the mosh-pit musings of Byron Vincent to achingly honest and passionate Kate Tempest, Poetry Trashcan is a fast-paced, accessible and mind blowingly original take on the world. And most of it rhymes.
