SUMMARY:Lower the Bar
DESCRIPTION:Back by unpopular demand\, Raise the Bar presents its awful Christmas event Lower the Bar. The worst hour of poetry you’ve ever heard\, followed by the option to stay for drinks as we will be running a bar on the night too. \nCarly Etherington\, Saili Katebe\, Sam Grudgings\, Stephen Lightbown\, Pascal Vine and Melanie Branton will each be delivering their very worst poem. \nThis year’s event will be headlined by Sir St.John Scarpia\, official candidate and the people’s choice for the next Leader of the Conservative Party\, for a spoken word performance followed by an audience Q&A. \nAhead of his performance in Bristol\, Scarpia has said ‘I intend to show that if I can manipulate the shower of liberals and lefties that you get at these kind of events\, I am worthy to lead this great party and nation through whatever chaos awaits you.’ His campaign slogan is: “I don’t care\, so why should you!” \nExpect uncomfortable hilarity\, bizarre variety\, crappy metaphor and terrible performance. \n[NOTE: The bad poetry does not include any material that is seriously offensive and derogatory. It’s still a safe place to be! The venue is wheelchair accessible\, but please note there is no accessible toilet.] \nDoors open: 7pm || Show runs: 7:30 – 8:30pm (no interval).\nFollowed by drinks til closing.\n£3 on the door (cash & card accepted).

She was a finalist of the BBC Edinburgh Fringe Slam 2018. \nHolly Daffurn:\nHolly Daffurn’s work rages from the political to the confessional\, featuring a combination of rhythmical and fast-paced poems mixed in with carefully crafted passages that shrug off any expectation of rhyme.\nHolly was commissioned by Apples & Snakes to create a podcast in which she explored inherited mental illness\, receiving commendation from mental health organisations\nSANE and BipolarUK. She performs as a featured poet at events and festivals throughout the UK\, and her work has appeared in countless publications including DIVA\, Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture\, Sluice Magazine\, and I Am Not A Silent Poet.\nShe is also the facilitator of the Words To Live By project offering poetry workshops and publishing opportunities to individuals suffering from long term mental health conditions. \nHannah Teasdale & Thommie Gillow Poet:\nBetween them Thommie Gillow and Hannah Teasdale have 8 children\, two MAs in Creative Writing\, two ex-husbands\, one current husband and a stack of various awards and poetry accolades. Difficulties getting pregnant\, miscarriages\, ectopics\, abortions\, caesarians\, post-natal depression\, breast-feeding\, and single parent issues have all featured in their lives and are reproduced in this collection. Meeting at poetry nights in the South West Hannah and Thommie discovered each other in a world that so often shies away from talking about the realities of motherhood and found a partner with whom to share all their mothering joys and woes.
