In 1992, I had reached a point in one’s life, possibly a mid-life, not necessarily a crisis, but at a point where I felt I needed some help.

A live session from the Talented Losers, comprising the notorious Sexton Ming and poet Colin Shaddick.
The Losers conduct an unusual session, in the sense that, Ming is in the studio whilst Shaddick collaborates via telephone.
The whole episode ended in a complete meeting of minds, we were united in self-realisation and found our way back to the source of the unverse through farting, haikus and shocking ourselves awake.
Dave Russell – If you discover him – then you will not forget him. Dave is editor of Poetry Express, mainstay of Survivors Poetry and Core Arts. This is a rare opportunity to hear some new songs by Dave, performed live, with all the unpredictable technical holdups – highly enjoyable I hope.

Proving it is hard to learn by his mistakes, James embarks on another series of Outsider In where we may find insight into the world of the ‘outsider’. In the first episode we find James accidentally embroiled in facing off the mainstream media when they assume he represents UKUncut… Heathcote Williams sends James a new anti-government poem which he will read out for the first time and live on air… this is underpinned by more candid UKUncut field recordings and advice on nuclear safety.… More...
Frank Bangay and Tunde Busari
Frank Bangay was born in Wandsworth South London in 1951. He left school at the age of 15 to a variety of different work experiences. He started writing poetry in 1972.
