Poetry with a difference! Four alternative poets performing a rock n' roll fuelled selection of their work with humour and no doubt a bit of controversy. Each member brings his own unique style to the group getting to know each other on the poetry and performance circuit for the last 5 years. They include poetry with musical backing tracks and songs with acoustic backing, also comedy and brilliant one-liners to give the edge on any socialist event, anti-war gig or comedy fundraiser. As they say themselves, "We want to perform some old\/new stuff as a group with a different edge to it, have a few laughs, cause a bit of controversy and mayhem on the way, all for one & one for all!!" They have so far played in Manchester, Salford, Bolton, Wigan, Leeds, Wakefield and grow from strength to strength.   A big thank you again to Tony, Ian, Gordon and Jeff for coming on the show.   Social media contact: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tony.kinsella.73 https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ian.c.whiteley https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gordon.zola.1 https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jeff.dawson.792 Jeffarama Instagram account https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jeffinbolton\/?hl=en       ","author_name":"Funny Peculiar Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/funnypeculiar.org","html":"
