The Furious G appeared at Spice of Life in Soho for Shabby Rogue’s last gig before their hiatus … also there were the hilarious Blabbermouth.
GPW read from upcoming release Tiger Poetry – including Other People’s Poetry, My Ex-Girlfriend Is Smoking, The recurring conundrum of a spiritual minded drug user, plus staples You Are What You Eat and O.A.Ps.
Afterwards, he rocked over to 84 Great Eastern Street to the former FOundry to join the open mic night being held there by the new residents of the squatted social centre.
He gave a reading from Howard Zinn’s People’s History of the United States, and then tore the place up with Civil Disobedience and O.A.Ps.
It felt good to be with a home crowd.

Last on the bill of fifteen new acts at Monkey Business in Chalk Farm … a woman was nearly killed by a falling light, the homeless took a severe tonguelashing from several ‘comics’ … performed OAPs and Word Pron to an exhausted and faintly abused crowd … Phots by Nurul Mohamad …
“Great poet – stupid name” quote from the man Martin Besserman himself, lovely guy, who was bizarrely sporting the same hat as my dad …


MIGHTY JAH-J! the Furious George premiered his dubfunkpunk phenomena on Sunday night at the Grosvenor in Stockwell. Amzing venue, wicked crowd of largely folkies who turned up to see the legendary Leon Rosselson. Show went down really well with people equal parts amazed and impressed. Setlist – This Is Liberation, Choke On A Dictionary (over the Acid Maggot dub), Octogenarian Anarcho Punx, Mighty Jah-J! Has Landed, Civil Disobedience (with new backing track) and You Are What You Eat, in the versus Sublime vershaaan.
