Some reviews of me at these:
'Michael Parker owned the stage, and had great rapport with the audience as he told us how “[we] would have loved [the poem that he'd written]“. This was fantastic theatricality, booming “OUR POET KING” (as we would have crowned him). I believed him.' http://sabotagereviews.com/2012/04/22/hammer-and-tongue-national-slam-final-the-individuals-31-03-12/
'downright sublime' http://www.ministryofhiphop.com/hammer-tongue-slip-jamb-10th-annual-poets-vs-mcs-concorde-2-brighton/

Yes, the lighting makes me look like an angelic being of light, and Lou, the camera operator seems to have been a bit dizzy, but you get the idea. Performing for the participants in the regional final of the Shake The Dust Youth Poetry Slam, Nuffield Theatre, Southampton, 2012.
