Poetry Isn't F***ing Boring! - Taster #3

Poetry's Not Fu**ing Boring is back at Bradford Fringe Festival for a second year! Continuing on from last weeks tasters with Luke 'Tatty' Hoggarth and Janine Booth, we're sharing some more awesome podcast poetry with you. This poem is by PNFB Collective Member Hayden Strawbridge - Look him up on twitter, he's the only one! In Hayden's own word ~ I started writing poetry a few years ago while I was on placement in Pisa. I write about most things I observe and feel. This specific poem was written when I ended up getting stranded in London and had to keep walking round on a cold December night, people didn't want to help me or even acknowledge my existence. But just outside Euston station I met this fascinating character a man from Portugal we talked about politics and lots of random stuff, he also invited me to share in the warmth of his fire of burning papers.

Intro - All Rise: The Bradford Legal Heritage Radio Plays

One of the most popular events of each Heritage Weekend in Bradford was the re-enactment of historic legal cases of Bradford in the old courtroom in City Hall. Entertaining around 400 people each year, the queues to get in stretched through City Hall with many families returning year on year. These plays were written for over 10 years by Gill Arnold JP (Deputy Head of the West Yorkshire Bench) and performed in full period costume by current and previous magistrates. Each play was based on a genuine court case, with a little artistic license to fill in the facts! Based on court reports ranging from the 14th to the 20th century, re-enactments included the trial of a man who traded his wife for a pig and the pickpocket who prowled the aisles of the Alhambra Theatre when it first opened. Gill has teamed up with Lydia Pearce of Broadway House Chambers and comedian Paisley Boyd to re-vitalise the most popular performances as a set of radio plays to be broadcast on BCB Radio as part of Bradford Fringe Festival. The radio plays are also supported by Bradford Theatres as part of their Heritage programme. Each play will be performed by a cast of local magistrates, judges, barristers, solicitors, court staff and law students and aired on BCB Radio and Bradford Fringe’s Podcast Channel every Saturday at 6.00pm. All Rise is sponsored by Broadway House Chambers
