We are, it has to be said, getting a little* excited round this way. In just over 24 hours’ time (8pm Wed 26-Jun-13, to be precise), our first big, massed fundraiser showcase on behalf of PBH’s Free Fringe will be underway at the Hackney Attic.
(In case you missed the previous post about fundraising - basically, it’s an opportunity for us to raise some much-needed cash for publicity, printing, and other costs; even though the venues are free, there’s still a lot needs to be spent to get the word out, and we’re a collective organisation - we all work together to raise the profile of each others’ work.)
*For a little, read barely able to contain our glee physically - check out this line-up (links open in new window)!

If you want to tell us you’re coming via the medium of Ye Olde Facebooke, try this: https://www.facebook.com/events/506287976086030/ Tell your friends. Tell everyone!
The show will be rich with both poetry and storytelling, and will run the gamut from the gently lyrical through the surreal, the downright filthy, and foot-stampingly rabble-rousing, via the personal, the political, the mystical and the touching through to the face-hurtingly funny. And this is what spoken word should be about, so we’re deeply, deeply chuffed to be able to bring such an amazing line-up to you!
It’ll also be a chance for us to launch the PBH Spoken Word Album, which you’ll be able to download from here: http://pbhfreefringespokenword.bandcamp.com/ from tomorrow onwards. Some samples below:
See? And that’s just a wee sample!
So, see you soon - either at Hackney tomorrow, in Manchester or Cambridge next month, any of the many previews going on between now and August, and Edinburgh itself.
