So a little about me then?
Well, I write and perform/read my poetry regularly, but I didn't always. I've only recently started reading my poetry once more. For a long time after moving up to Merseyside I didn't read my poetry, or socialise much for that matter. Being a part of poetry groups once more has made me realise how much I missed them. The really great thing about the poetry group is that the small numbers are perfect for two things, building your confidence and helping you develop your poetry. At this point I must point out Wirral Words and The Bards of New Brighton, which are two excellent groups. I have been able to push my newly written/undeveloped poetry on them and been able to use the feedback/reception that I got to rewrite and develop my work.
Of course small groups only get you so far, last month I had a rather daunting gig, reading my poetry in front of 250+ people at the Charity Cases event. Hopefully, if another one of these gigs is arranged I'll be able to perform again as it was just such a buzz it was unbelieveable. That's not even mentioning the amazingly talented singers, comics and other poets that performed. If I do get invited, and if another one is arranged I'll post here.
Now you may ask, why two posts so close together? Simple. I have finished updating Writer's Forum and all my other little online things and I was bored, so decided to make youo the reader also bored.

Hell, Martin if Nat and friends don't organise another I'm sure someone else will. At least you didn't fall to pieces like Jane Hammond! 'Oh God! There's just too many people!'
