How to get to the Fox

Our VERY special guest this month is the amazing

SHANE SOLANKI

Shane Solanki is a performer whose poems are comic, political and a little bit naughty.

Shane helped to run the legendary festival-in-a-club Megatripolis, his early musical output was produced by Mercury Prize 
winner Talvin Singh, and his writing for cult record label Ninja Tune achieved global notoriety. 
His band the D’Archetypes recently toured internationally with the British Council. Shane performs in venues up and down 
the UK. 
His latest album ‘Endarkenment’, due to be released later this year, is creating quite a buzz on the underground music 
scene – his track ‘Manbag’ is a favourite on BBC Radio 1. 
Funny, sharp and not afraid to be challenging – look out for the Last Mango in Paris!

You can hear some of his tracks here...

Previously at PureandGoodandRight...

Sunday 21 January - Jane Holland and Emma Purshouse
44 people in attendance and 17 performing poets at the mic, with several more in the crowd, taking it easy and enjoying the atmosphere.
Emma P in hard hat, marigolds, and tutu (till she stripped them off), Jane H spawning poems like fish and getting gory with Boudicca... Dani Carbery hosting with all the aplomb of a RADA graduate (available for top notch radio drama!), and even Sean doing some new stuff and singing 'Spiderman' to close another excellent night!
Sunday 18 February - Dreadlockalien, Dan Wilson and Evoke
I was too busy to count, but the crowd felt even bigger than January's (collectively, not as individuals!). Our three guest poets brought the house down, and 14 visitors to the 'open' mic received the usual warm and enthusiastic response.
- previous guest stars Don Barnard, Peter Wyton and Jane Holland all returned to take the mic, which is a testament to the quality of our evening
