Poetry for people who don't like poetry. First there was Bang Said The Gun London, then Bang Said The Gun Manchester, soon there were Bang Said The Gun films broadcast on Channel 4 and capturing the best of Britain's biggest poetry night is BANG SAID THE GUN: MUD WRESTLING WITH WORDS, a book bursting at the spine with the cream of the spoken word scene. Rob Auton is in it. So is Kate Tempest, winner of the 2013 Ted Hughes prize. Hollie McNish with over over 2million YouTube views of her poems to her name is in it as well. So is Jon Hegley, so is Murray Lachlan Young, Ian McMillan, Luke Wright, Matt Harvey, Nia Barge, Jo Bell, Tim Clare, Inua Ellams, Salena Godden, Peter Hayhoe, Elvis McGonagall, Ian McMillan, Adrian Mealing, Molly Naylor, John Osborne, Dave Viney and Byron Vincent. Not forgetting Bang Said The Gun architects Dan Cockrill and Martin Galton. We have dragged poetry kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. Says Dan Cockrill The night is a rollercoaster of emotion. It's loud and raucous, as political as it s trivial as serious as it s funny, says Martin Galton, it's like a rabid poetry mongrel and we have captured the best of that and put it in the book.
