IT'S A-COMIN' UP TO HAMMER & TONGUE TIME, FOLKS...
Following hot on the heels of February's magnificent, lush, heartwarming, funny and moving Slam Final- won by the'totally amazing' (copyright S. Jenkinson) STEVE DUNCAN- who goes on to reprazent Brizzle in the upcoming National Final- we're back to TWO SUPERB GUESTS...
Well, you say, WHO ARE THEY??
THEY ARE:
March's touring poet: ADAM KAMMERLING
Adam Kammerling is the Hammer And Tongue UK Slam Champion 2012, the Hackney Slam Champion 2011 and the Brighton Slam Champion 2010. He is also the newest member of the Chill Pill Poetry Collective. He cut his teeth at the open-mic cyphers and rap battles of the Brighton hip-hop scene. Since 2008 he has been performing spoken word across the UK and overseas, and generally being a little less aggressive.
Weaving numerous voices through his own, he incorporates elements of poetry, rap, theatre and comedy to create immersive, engaging works that poke at the boundaries of performance poetry, trying to annoy it. His work licks the finer and grimier sludge from the window of everyday life, celebrating the minutiae with an observant eye and a healthy dose of surreal humour. He wears nice sweaters and has BIG hair.

BEN NORRIS
Ain't it great when you find an up-and-coming voice that just puts a big, fat smile on your face and makes you glad you do this stuff? All the way from Birmingham; clever, funny, heartwarming poems about disaster, sex and foul language. You'll love him. We do.
PLUS: Of course, The HAMMER & TONGUE OPEN POETRY SLAM! 8 places. 3 minutes to get up and do your stuff and maybe win a place in the final.
Hosted by the Holy Trinity of Anna Freeman, Jonny Fluffypunk and Sally Jenkinson. They are worth the admission price alone.
