January 2006


A gentle start into the New Year, busy finalising details of some very interesting projects - details of which will be posted here very soon. In the meantime, get yourself a copy of the latest issue of The Quiet Feather - a lovingly put together magazine - which includes two poems by Nathan Penlington.  


The new season of SHORTFUSE starts on Thursday the 19th of January, beginning another hefty rota for London's ONLY weekly fusion of stand-up poetry, performance comedy and spokenword. As well as the top performers you've come to expect, there are also some unusual nights that may well rival the success of the SHORTFUSE Poetry Idol contests...
