One of our Bad!Slam!No!Biscuiters!

The 3rd Tuesday of July meant it was time again for Bad!Slam!No!Biscuit!. 

Avatron

The Phoenix was packed for drinking, poetry, talking, heckling and listening.

Avatron

Thanks to Tim Kent for all his words as our first feature act of the night. Thanks to Avatron too, for the sounds and words, as our second feature act for the evening. Reactions to Avatron came as either complete dis-like or total love, this to me is good. 

Tim Kent

Thanks to all the performers who jumped up and gave their words.

Julian Fleetwood of that other slam

The winners walked away with 4 kilos of potatoes and two comics. It felt good.
