Mental Virus Launch Night Issue #4The Mental Virus MagazineLaunch night of Issue #4 Saturday 15th December at The People Under The Stairs The Tavern, Mesnes Street, Wigan 8.30pm – Free Entry The Cubical / Scot Devon / Paul Bibby / Gordon Zola / John Fairhurst / Cayn White Issue Four of The Mental Virus is ready and waiting to be spread throughout the synapses and viaducts of your mind. And for one night only ‘The People Under The Stairs’ event will be taking place upstairs on the top floor to fully launch the new issue. On Saturday 15th December we have a great line up of poets and musicians. From the scat/rap poetry of Scot Devon to the ‘young heir of John Cooper Clarke’ Cayn White. Also on the bill, Gordon Zola, the self-styled whitest man of rap, who will be bringing some musical accompaniment to his comic rhymes. We also have the talented blues guitarist John Fairhurst, who has his debut album ‘Joys of Spring’ out in January. Expect exploding blues, baroque folk and chugging Indian ragas. Who else do we have? Oh yes, the great Paul Bibby will be making a special solo appearance. Those who missed him at the last magazine launch missed a great performance of technical wizardry culminating in a live symphonic classical piece. This time he has an up-beat special planned with his weapon of choice the guitar. Headlining the night we have the Beefheart and Howlin’ Wolf inspired demon blues of The Cubical, kindly booked by Lupine. As always with Mental Virus launch nights, there will be other things going on. But this time I think we’ll leave it as a surprise. [In the past we’ve had themes of cannibalism, surrealism, sound installations and art exhibitions; what will this night hold??] www.myspace.com/thecubicalthecubical www.myspace.com/johnfairhurst www.myspace.com/paulbibbyelementals http://writeoutloud.net/poets/caynwhite http://writeoutloud.net/poets/gordonzola http://writeoutloud.net/poets/scottdevon |
