What can the crowd expect? </span></div><div><span>AN EFFERVECENT ECLECTIC MIX ... Performance Poetry at its very best, Jazz music that will make you close your eyes and imagine you were somewhere else, a journey into my state of mind, familiar characters that will make you laugh at them, but maybe later with them, contrast, the breaking down of the fourth theatrical wall, edutainment and the flipping of the script. In a nutshell, something very different.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>
<br /></b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>As a Poet, how did you make the transition into writing and performing a one-woman show that also features comedy and drama? </b></span></div><div><span>It's always been in me. Started off as an Actress and lack of work sometimes led in me and a few others along the road of creating our own stuff and performing them at Fringe places. This was way, way back though. Now I have revived my playwrighting spirit and am currently doing a Masters. I think I mentioned this earlier.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">

<br /></b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>We know that you’ve performed internationally, which non UK performances have you enjoyed the most and why? </b></span></div><div><span>A Show that I put on with a few other Londoner's in a South African joint called "Jungle Connection". It featured London and South African Poets, Drummers and Singers and was a great cultural exchange. I loved the clicking that that was incorporated into many of the songs and poems ... was awesome experience and the air of South Africa just screams art.

I think it would be somewhere in Africa. I have been to South Africa a couple of times, so maybe Jo'burg. Haven't been back home to Nigeria in a while so probably there. I'd buy a standard class ticket and stay with friends/family. I'd spend time visiting orphanages and seeing how I could help and what I could put money towards. I would like to also sow seeds in to the lives of some aspiring young people who would otherwise not get the opportunity to fulfuil their dreams.

I was getting the inmates ready for ... oh dear, forget that, I've just remered a bad performance ... oh dear, can't mention that one, not fair on the other person involved. Okay then, back to the prison workshop. I was trying to get the guys to do some positive stuff for an upcoming performance and they weren't listening. Just weren't having it. They wanted to do their slack raps and mceeing. One even said to me, "You don't like mi s*!& do you?".

Where does your dancehall influence come from?</b></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span">Both of my parents are from Jamaica- my mum born on the island, and my dad born here in the UK, but both of his parents born in Jamaica. Reggae has been a prominent genre of music played in my household from a young age, and I like to represent for my family in my work.</span><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>How did it feel when you first heard your music played on radio stations such as Choice FM and BBC 1xtra?</b></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span">Euphoric - it makes the hard work worth it when you hear your own music played and you feel appreciated by others. Anticipating that radio play makes my music reach wider audiences and gives me the motivation to continue. Any reward for your efforts always feels great!</span><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></b></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><span class="Apple-style-span">Do you feel it’s harder or easier for female rappers like yourself to become established in the industry as opposed to male rappers?</span><br /></b><span class="Apple-style-span">Both. It’s easier because of the ratio to male rappers. There are not many female rappers, so it’s easier to get attention in terms of competition. It’s more difficult because females can get bitchy. Haters slandering you can have more of an effect on a female than a male in this industry.</span><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span">Do you have any pre-performance rituals?</span><br /></b><span class="Apple-style-span">Ermmm… [I] feel sick!! I get so nervous before performing it’s unreal; I think I’m getting good at hiding it though [laughs]. But seriously, my pre-performance ritual is prayer; I ask for His guidance and for Him to give me the confidence to take the stage. He never lets me down.</span><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span">Who are your greatest influences?</span><br /></b><span class="Apple-style-span">Buju Banton, Lauryn Hill, Drake, Lily Allen, Tinie Tempah.</span><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span">Is there an artist or performance that you’ve recently seen that blew you away?</span><br /></b><span class="Apple-style-span">Drake and Jessie J gave performances that really impressed me. Their energy, stage presence and clarity were on point. What really made me smile was the diversity in the audience. When you touch people of all kinds, you must be doing something right.</span><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></b></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><span class="Apple-style-span">What inspires you to write?</span><br /></b><span class="Apple-style-span">Two things: the beat, and my life. I am an observational artist so everything I see, hear or do is embedded in my lyrics somehow, in some way. I just play the beat and whatever comes to my head first, I write it down. A word or phrase in that first line may make me think of something else- so I’ll write that down too. I’ll gain an idea of concept by the fourth line, and gear it towards a conclusion by the end.</span><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span">Let’s pretend I’ve just given you £6,000 for you spend on a dream holiday. Where would you go and how would you spend it all?</span><br /></b><span class="Apple-style-span">Fiji! It just seems so beautiful. I would spend the money on an all-inclusive treat-me-like-a-queen package. Cos one day I’ll want to go waterskiing, the next day I’ll want to be getting my hair and nails done [laughs]</span><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span">What’s been your best performance experience so far?</span><br /></b></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">I think the best has been Notting Hill Carnival. The crowd was so big, and so hyped up over what I was doing it was overwhelming. I love music and the feeling it brings when I write and record; but performing makes me feel like I’m on cloud nine. I would do it again in a heartbeat.</span><br /><br /><br /></span></span><div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><b>So, all that said, where can we find you performing next?</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><div>I'll be performing at Style & Substance on Tuesday 2nd August at Queen of Hoxton, 1-5 Curtain Road, LONDON EC2A 3JX (<a href="http://www.onitpr.co.uk/#/style-substance-august-201/4552076948"><b>Full info</b></a>)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAmyxTdohzeSfnmt2mkGlXVvOJ2TZz6uWUstEsYNwid98bBhdyHV6TgvC-9W8Kk5LUV89luyF7thS3WVhyphenhyphen4xJ-b-NSwIIduGX6YgP2myOGeFi08nMSNqGkK7NALAtkfrS6nU3DnYdts7lK/s320/Style+%2526+Substance+-+June+2011.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633051405977074034" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 320px; " /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><span class="Apple-style-span">Lastly, where can we find you <i>outside </i>of the stage?</span><br /></b><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.moymoy-artist.com"><b>Web</b></a> | <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.twitter.com/moymoy_artist"><b>Twitter</b></a> | <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.facebook.com/moymoyofficial"><b>Facebook</b></a> | <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.reverbnation.com/moymoyartist"><b>Reverbnation</b></a> | <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.soundcloud.com/moymoy_artist"><b>Soundcloud</b></a> </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Words by</b>: Shorntay Allen</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div></div></div></div></div>ONiT!

To be honest my train of thought hasn’t been on performance. I’ve been investing a lot of time working on my page work and just studying the craft, to improve in general. It is possible to be gifted but lack skill and so performing isn’t hard, wowing people isn’t hard but neither of the two are things that rank highly on my priority list. Performing anywhere is always an honour; I think there is something beautifully powerful about strangers opening themselves up to you and so standing on a stage is somewhat of a sacred act for me. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Do you have any pre-performance rituals?</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Going over my lines in my head [laughs] and breathing!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Who are your greatest influences? </b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Oh lord, we could be here forever.

I can relate deeply to that, he was the first poet for me where I could see myself in his work and his attitude to art. My drive to write comes from my drive to understand things; I am always trying to understand myself, humanity and the universe.

Tell us about your experience of recording in a space that Bob (Marley) and so many other influential reggae artists have used?</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">It was amazing! It was good to have that ancestral energy, seeing all the medals and platinum records was definitely inspirational and I felt homered to be there.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>What can we expect to hear on this album?</b> </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">You can expect to hear my usual soul, eclectic mix of Jazz and hip hop but it’s fused with a reggae undertone and it was recorded with a full, live band.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>You’re well known in the industry as a Singer/Songwriter as well as a Poet. Do you have a preference of the two?</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Oh boy, boy, boy [laughs] No I don’t have a preference, no. I’m a Poet, who likes to use sound I suppose. I’ve always loved messing about vocally, but yeah, I can’t say I have a preference.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>What inspired you to start performing and actually pursue it as a career?</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">Initially, it was just about sharing some of my creativity and I suppose what inspired me, was seeing some of the other artists on the scene doing their thing and making it their career. I didn’t really know Poets could be so, powerful. It made a big impact on me – especially the spoken word scene. As for singing, I was 11 years old when my favourite artist (<b>Erykah Badu</b>) bought out her first album, <b>Baduiz</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><b>um</b>. I played it non-stop and I just loved it, so I suppose it had quite an impact on me.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Describe your style…</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">I’d say its thought provoking, passionate, youthful, cheeky but with an underlying message from an old soul.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Do you have any pre-performance rituals that you like to do before a show?</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Before I get on stage, I like to prep myself up by visualizing what I’m going to do, I like to give thanks that I’m about to go up there and do my thing, and tell myself to breathe and not to worry [laughs] because sometimes, I can get quite nervous.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Who are your greatest influences?</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Erykah Badu</b>, I like <b>Busta Rhymes</b> because of his energy, I’ve always loved <b>Busta</b>. I’d also claim <b>AmeN NoiR</b> as one of my influences; he’s a spoken word artist from the London scene. I just think he’s amazingly powerful and has a great stage presence, so yeah. Also, sorry I can’t forget my jazz influences, <b>Ella Fitzgerald</b> and <b>Billie Holiday</b> - love them.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>If you could collaborate on a track with any other singer, dead or alive, who would you choose?</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">Dead or alive? Erm.. Fundamentally I would like to do something with Erykah Badu but for someone that’s passed I’d like to do something with Billie Holiday because her pain was immense, and really came through in her sound and her tone, so yea</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; ">h, I’d work with her.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Is there an artist or performance that you’ve recently seen that blew you away?</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">I saw <b>Damian Marley</b> not too long ago and he was tight, really good.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>We know you’ve performed internationally, from New York to the Far East (Jealous!) What’s been your greatest performance experience that you’ve had outside of the UK?</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Once, I was in New York and, because I do a lot of youth work as well, I mix music with youth work, I performed for a school of supposedly 'naughty' under privileged youths, and they went off their heads saying “oh woooow you should be on American Idol” and so on, so that was nice, definitely. Mostly, because they’re children. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Musically I’d say Bangkok - I performed with Thailand’s top Saxophonist (sorry, I can’t remember his name). He was amazing and the vibe that we had was just incredible because we both shared a deep appreciation for Jazz, which was nice.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>What do you do in your spare time to relax when you’re not hard at work?</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">I like to hold a juice, kick back, light candles and enjoy a hot bath, using some of my <b><a href="http://naturallydivineproducts.com/">Naturally Divine Oils</a></b> from my own product range [laughs], and just chilling with my bredrins. We like to talk over good food, discuss a good book and so on.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>What can we expect from your Album Launch at Plan B on the 5th of June?</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">Ooooh some exciting surprises!

I also enjoy the fact that you feel like you can take risks there and experiment, which is important for poets who are serious writers as well as performance artists.<br /><br /><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong>How did yo</strong></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "><strong>u fi</strong></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "><strong>rst get into performance poetry?</strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">When I was 2</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; ">0 I went travelling across North America and stopped in Columbus, Ohio and walked into a Slam, where I didn’t kn</span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">ow what was going on! At the time, I carrie</span><span class="Apple-style-span">d a travel journal and someone looked at what I had written and said that what I wrote was basically unspoken poetry. So feeling inspired, I got up and read s</span><span class="Apple-style-span">omethin</span><span class="Apple-style-span">g, not really knowing </span><span class="Apple-style-span">what I was doing and it seemed to resonate with some people, so I thought that when I got back to London, I would check out the spoken word scene and take it from there.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong>Describe your style…</strong><br /><br />“Classic mind struggling with the modern world” [laughs] (according to Mr Gee who Raymond is currently sitting with, who is also a poet, and a member of Chill Pill). I would also describe myself as a confessional poet.<br /><br /><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong>What do you most enjoy about poetry?</strong><br /><br />The ability, or the attempt, to encapsulate what can’t be said or is difficult to say. I love the way that poetry </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; ">is so condensed - you can say so much in just two lines. I’ve realised that all of my favourite writers, are actually poets and I admire their ability to pack so many ideas, emotions etc, into just one paragraph. I’m also a fan of minimalism, so I think it comes from that as well – saying as much as you can in as little words as possible and as a result, I’m a rigid editor of my work.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong>What has been your personal, favourite gig so far?</strong><br /><br />The first one to come to mind was a tour in Chicago that I did recently. I was the headline poet at <em><a href="http://www.greenmilljazz.com/index.html"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>The Green Mill</b></span></a></em>, which is significant because it’s the same venue where the first ever Slam took place – it was hosted by <strong>Mark Smith</strong> who has been credited as the inventor of Slam and it was an amazing experience, mainly because it wasn’t just a crowd full of poets, this was a place where open micers were ordinary people, who just wrote on their lunch break or on the way to work, etc, so the atmosphere was just so real and that’s what I loved the most about that gig.<br /><br /><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong>Any nightmare gigs that you can share with us?</strong><br /><br />Yes! I did a gig last week at a comedy club, I was advised to do it to toughen up my skin a bit, yo</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; ">u know. Performing poetry to a comedy audience is always a challenge, but once the initial banter was over, it felt really awkward, like the audience just wanted me to hurry up and get off the stage, which obviously wasn’t an enjoyable experience!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />Another terrible experience was actually at my second ever gig, where a drunken guy from the audience wouldn’t shut up and actually got onto the stage, picked up a mic and started to literally scream and shout in the middle of my performance. No-one said anything about it or removed the guy from the stage, so I left. It honestly took me about a week to get over that one! I won’t drop the names of these events in case they’re still taking place!<br /><br /><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong>Who are your greatest influences?</strong><br /><br />Performance poetry wise there’s a poet called <strong>Jon Sands</strong> in New York who I love and think is incredible. In terms of performers, Richard Pryor has been a big influence for me personally, simply because.. Erm.. his balls are so big he’ll just say anything! [laughs] I know anyone can get on stage and just say anything but to have substance and weight behind it, not everyone can do that. <strong>Francesca Beard</strong> is one of my favourite performers in the country – I love her work- she’s brilliant and also <strong>Aoife Mannix</strong> – I’ve read her poetry collections and have done a poetry workshop with her, she’s great. There’s so many names I can mention but they’re the ones that come of the top of my head.<br /><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong>If you could work with any other performing artist(s), dead or alive, who </strong><strong>would you choose?</strong><br /><br />I’m gonna say <strong>Orson welles</strong>; he’s a hero of mine because I identify a lot with him in terms of his restlessness as a creative thinker. He was at least 100 years ahead of his time and he recognised that, acknowledged that and put that into his work which I think gave his work real integrity. He was heavily misunderstood, but never tried to conform. He’s someone that invariably had to suffer lack of appreciation but it didn’t hinder him from creating. He understood the power of saying something through art which made him an amazing actor, writer and thinker and I think he would be the most amazing mentor and friend in person, which is why I’ve chosen him.<br /><br /><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong>What can an audience expect when they come to see you perform?</strong><br /><br />Expect to see a young guy talking about his inner torments; expect very confessional and open interpretations of my life. Expect honesty, expect someone on stage who is enjoying themselves and hopes that you are too.<br /><br /><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong>Do you have any forthcoming projects in the pipeline?</strong><br /><br />Yep! <strong><em>Chill Pill</em></strong> at the Soho Theatre and also <strong><em>Chill Pill</em></strong> at the Albany. I’m doing a tour of Germany in October and I’ve just released my first album called <strong>Speed Camera Shy</strong>, which is a dub-step and me not-quite-rapping-not-quite-performing-poetry, but trying to do something in between that. I wrote most of the album 4 years ago when I was 20 and recorded it when I was 21, so I’m a bit ambivalent about it as I feel I’ve come quite a long way from there. The voice of the album doesn’t represent me today, but the record label really liked it and believe in it, so great! I’m also doing the <strong><em><a href="http://tinyurl.com/3tc6sft"><span class="Apple-style-span">Keats House Festival</span></a></em></strong> at the end of the month. Myself and <strong>Simon Mole</strong> run <strong><em>Keats House Forum</em></strong>, which is a young writers forum where we facilitate workshops and talk to emerging younger writers about their work, then, once a month we showcase the poetry that they’ve been writing. We also have an open mic session at Keats House, on the last Saturday of every month, the next one is on 28th of May.<br /><br /><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong>You’ve recently relocated to the <a href="http://www.sohotheatre.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span">Soho Theatre</span></a> for <em>Chill Pill</em>, How has that made a difference to the event as a whole?</strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong></strong><b><br /></b>Well, <strong><em>Chill Pill</em></strong> started out as a very small, intimate, low key kind of night in a basement bar in Bethnal Green, with a capacity of around 50 people. Even though there was no room to move or breathe [laughs] people still attended. Each week, the venue was full which we thought was a sign that we needed to expand – we went shopping around for a bigger venue, to match the demand, and Soho Theatre came forward so now, we’ve got an even bigger venue with more people coming. It was difficult to try and translate the intimate feel into a bigger space, but the last one did really well and it sold out, so I think we achieved that.<br /><br />Our main objective had always been to showcase the cutting edge of underground poetry, we look for quite obscure but very credible acts and that’s still what we live by. Our next show is on the 1st of June at Soho Theatre and it’s now a bi-monthly event. The <strong><em>Chill Pill</em></strong> following that, will take place at <strong>The Albany</strong> (headquarters for <strong>Apples & Snakes</strong>) on the 9th of July, before returning to Soho Theatre for the August show.<br /><br /><strong><em>Chill Pill</em></strong> used to have an open mic segment, but we’ve not done it since the move, but we’ll be bringing it back for the Albany show like BAM! The first six people to sign up will get to perform.<br /><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong>Outside of the stage, where can we find you? </strong><br /><br />You can Tweet me <a href="http://www.twitter.com/RaymondAntrobus"><span class="Apple-style-span">@RaymondAntrobus</span></a> I have a blogsite: <span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="http://raymondantrobus.blogspot.com/">http://raymondantrobus.blogspot.com/</a> </span>and a podcast: 'Head Job' which you can search for and find on <strong><a href="http://www.itunes.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span">iTunes</span></a></strong>; it features spoken word and poetry recorded in outdoor locations in and around London.
