1st Show from Brighton

This first show from Brighton includes Ross Sutherland and Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip who are both playing the city this month along with the usual random mix of music and spoken word.

If you're a musician or spoken word artist and you'd like to be featured on the show please email info@patrickwiddess.co.uk or tweet @headstand. I'd particularly like to hear from Brighton based acts.

Show: Rychard Carrington and Romsey Poets

Headstand may have finished on Cambridge 105 but I'm still broadcasting from Brighton. This show features recordings from last month's Romsey Poets night including Rychard Carrington's headline performance. Tune in for poppadoms, Welsh Haiku, TS Eliot and more.

The event was organised by Alex Blustin. If you're in Cambridge on a Thursday do visit his poetry stall in the market.

Show: 25.8.13 with Afrodita Nikolova

25.8.13 with Afrodita Nikolova by Headstand on Mixcloud

On the last show on Cambridge 105 for the time being I was joined by Macedonian poet Afrodita Nikolova who read one of her poems and the winning entries of a poetry competition I judged for Macedonian magazine Sh.

Here is the winning entry:

The Archive

Old ambered men,
rotting in vanilla,
are bound together
and numbered
in open coffins.
And a mist of dust
protrudes through
their wooden prison;
conspiring with the
ever tempting dark
shining from above.
White paper roses bud
below ladders that end
where shadows begin;
there silk webs spread
over this waste of heads
that thrust upwards
towards the bars.

Dushko Talevski

Congratulations also to runners up Sara Jovanovska and Zorica Petkoska.

In Photos: Shindig closes the Romsey Art Festival

Shindig brought the first Romsey Art Festival to a dramatic close last Saturday with music, dance, film and spoken word along with Katy Mcdonald's installation ‘Light Up Your Dreams.' The paper lanterns that decorated the dimly lit church were all made by local workshop participants truly capturing the festival's theme of community. You can read my review on Local Secrets here.
The next Shindig featuring Ghost Outfit, Bernard and Edith and Holden Girls is on September 14th. Details here.
