What's on at Cafe Indie.

Snazzy Promotions presents a night of spoken word featuring;

 

***JOHN PAUL***

 

New album … Subjects and 12” Nuts coming soon ….

His last album “No Filter” is the rightful extension of the Sleaford

Mods idea, in my opinion, but don’t let that drive you into thinking

this is some rehash.

John Paul has, with the help of Rat and Steve Underwood, created a

horrible account of modern forgotten England from the edge of his stool

in the corner of the pub away from all the hard men he once ran with.

It’s the re-awakening of a mind trying to tune into truth and it’s

brutal!.

 

His wordplay and observations are near exceptional and at some points,

and like all good music, it nearly devours itself as it tells musical

convention to get fucked. The music too, is so fucking crap it’s

beautiful, like the mundane back ground music sent out from head office

to all its pubs.

 

“‘No Filter’ has for me in some ways pushed the envelope of the Workers

Tale, the arrival into mid-life with its disgust for the old shit you

did and the attitudes that came with all that. Its solid” – Jason

Williamson / Sleaford Mods.

***BADGER***

Badger are a two piece alt pop force hailing from Newcastle, mixing

melody with a narrated existential crisis. Listeners are advised to

abandon all prior convictions. Badger have received national air play on

BBC 6 Music as well as local airtime.

***ROBIN WELSH***

“Robin Welsh is Hull born, residing in Oxfordshire. Robin is a published

poet, political activist and active campaigner for human rights and

feels strongly about the abuses and intolerances within society.

Everybody needs a voice and he raises issues that bring those who are

silent and downtrodden to the fore delivering honest, poignant and often

brutal spoken word with passion” https://wigandiggersfestival.org/2018
