All right? This month, we were joined by the Brecht of Longbenton, Nev Clay. A folk singer, poet, and Olympic patter-smith, we’ve seen Nev perform a twenty minute set consisting of just one song, so we’re delighted to have three whole poems from him for the podcast!
Many of our open mic performers wrote about the shameful rioting in Sunderland (and elsewhere) this month. We have Nihilist’s Mirage by Just Think Phil, Sunderland’s Riots by Emily Kitching, A Bear From a Decade Ago by Jay Sykes, and Sunderland by Karima. And from Nev we have TWOC, Son, and Alien.
Thanks again to Pop Recs for hosting us every month. And thanks to Nev for his wonderful headline set. But most of all this month, thanks to everyone who was able to make it along on the night, despite anxiety about the potential for further violence in the city. Sunderland united, we will not be divided!
King Ink's podcast is hosted by Helen Wilko and produced by James Whitman.
