The Imploding Inevitable Festival - The Golden Aubergine Presents

As mentioned yesterday, poetry was a major component of this years Inevitable Festival. Curated by John Leyland and Annette Cookson, here's a selection of the many poets who appeared as either scheduled performance or performed as part of the high quality open-mic. Oh, and there's Pico at the end there. He's a sponge. And not much of a poet either. But still very very funny indeed.
