For those who hadn’t already noticed through other channels, I’ve put a couple of videos of my poetry performances up on YouTube, and have more to drip-feed out over the coming weeks.
I’d really appreciate it if you could check them out, maybe even subscribe to follow me on YouTube… if you like it, feel free to share!
This is the latest one I’ve uploaded. It’s my first ever live performance (aww!), at a Crosswords night in a cave in Nottingham (still my favourite place to perform). The first poem, Memory, has been rewritten substantially since this performance… one of the benefits of testing material in front of an audience. Hope you enjoy 🙂
Alternatively, you can subscribe here
Thank you!
A Certain Point of View 
congratulations on your first performance !!

Thank you… but the first performance was actually a year ago – have just been a “bit” slow getting it onto youtube! 🙂

It may be the massive blood loss I just suffered from an impromptu and unsuccessful bit of juggling with a bailey’s glass in the washing up bowl, but I will allow this… Thank you 😀

Hurray, you’re going global and viral, Al! I’m on a road trip for three weeks right now, with limited cell service and data, but I’ll have a look once I’m in a house with WiFi again! Good luck with your YouTube channel.

Wow, you didn’t look the least bit nervous standing up there in front of all those people, Al. I’d be shaking like cocktail shaker at the Ritz! You’re a natural at it.
Well done.

Thanks Hugh. The quality of the recording is not good enough to reveal how shaky my hands were, or you might be saying a different thing! 😀

Was that the one I recorded on your phone? I thought I’d made a horrible mess of it but that looked rather fine. It did sound like me at the start saying “Pressed it!”
A wonderfully splendid performance that I could now appreciate properly without stressing about dropping your phone or recording the floor instead of you. 🙂
