These are either people I like or people I’d feel guilty about if I didn’t include them. Most of them have their hearts in the right places, though. They’re all concerned with poetry or beat-music, although there’s one which is just photos of Essex churches.

Project Adorno
Quite possibly the new Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood

Liz Bentley
My poetry best friend

Openhaus
Arty organisation near where I live

Blyth Power
Raucous, blaring pop group

Eastfield
Same as above, only with more foliate hair

Philip Jeays
Histrionic singer who can make people weep

Hairy poet from Reading

Elvis McGonagall
Stubbly poet from Scotland; possibly has a drink problem

Proof that there is poetical life in Southend-on-Sea

Pure&Good&Right
And in Leamington Spa

Don’t Feed the Poets
And – improbable as it may seem – Hastings

Steve Lake
Nice singer with dark punk rock past

The Poet Laura-eate
Breville-making poet who likes writing about buildings

Pog
Brighton’s favourite high-pitched beat-group

John Hegley
Very much the omniscient greengrocer of the poetry world

Alan Clayson
Apparently the leading authority on all music ever

Hammer & Tongue
All-consuming poetry juggernaut, coming to a town near you

Similar, but without the magicians

Youthful poetry ensemble – said to be handsome
