Slammin' Slam

Just went to see the Laganside Poetry Slam in the Duke of York in Belfast and was completely blown away by the standard and completely inspired with every thing I saw. Wasn't the best sound due to the venue and things......but it was without doubt one of the best nights this year.

The winner was a poet from Newcastle called Scott Turrell, who is one of the best Slammers in the United Kingdom at this moment in time. He looks a bit like Phil Jupitus but sounds like Ant and Dec when they have reached maturity.....anyway....ended up staggering home via Esperatos.....an incredibly wonderful Kebab shop that lights the sky at any time of night.....likely to be the only place open at 4am every night......useful!
