1 week tonight!

Spot light on guest poet:
Steve Mingle

Steve is a retired actuary turned football author who first trespassed into spoken-word world in
2019. His favourite pastime is swearing at strangersand he’s been delighted to discover that if you do it from behind a microphone then some people will call it art. Steve’s output so far comprises seven books about Manchester City together with a recently released poetry anthology, More Poems About Rucksacks and Phones. Amongst this collection’s visceral rants and absurdist humour can be found traces of gentle nostalgia together with affectionate tributes to some of his heroes. However, any temptation to suggest that he’s going soft in his old age should be strongly resisted.
