A Load of Poets at the Jenny Lind

A Load of Poets from 1200 Postcards took over the bar at the Jenny Lind in Hastings old town for the afternoon on 2nd December, 2023. This was the second time we’d done this. Della Reynolds (the Poet in Pyjamas) and I were first on stage, at 3pm. I performed Bloody Poets, Trust a Trader and (with Della) Fairytale of Hastings and her ‘Self-Made Man.’

We were followed by great performances from:

Kat
Yellow & Green
Dan & Tara stand-up
Brian the Beach Bard of St Leonards
Philip (with a hilarious rendition of ‘Man Boobs’)
Jemia de Blondeville
Column 258 – great work from the ‘house band’ who collaborated with some of the poets
Vicky (our host)
Tom Barron
Kerri (Yellow & Green) & Tara Valentine
Lucas the Peaceful Poet featuring Chris the beatbox guy.
