READING BETWEEN THE LINES, The Island's ONLY dedicated Spoken Word and Poetry night tumbles back into Wight Rock starry-eyed for more poetry-based shenanigans, and rampant misadventures in drunken lexicography.

Heading up the bill again is our residential spiritual-guru COOLY HASTE. To anyone who's ever been to one of our events before, you know that Cooly needs no introduction, but incase your new to us, let's fill you in. Cooly is a veritable tour-de-force of the south-coast UK hip-hop scene, having opened for legends such as Afrika Bambaataa, Akil of Jurrasic 5, Aloe Blacc and the Cold Crush Brothers.

We're thrilled to welcome a RBTL debut from DONNA JONES MBE. Donna is a published poet of great repute, Whose books 'Blue Devils' and 'The Thick and Thin Of It' have won much acclaim. A talented poet as much as a visual artist, we can't wait for what we're sure is going to be an enthralling set.

Next up, one of our favorite local poets, ADAM GATERALL. Formerly known as IOW PUNK POET, Adam has decided to drop the moniker, and perform as himself. Not one for the faint of heart, but immensely funny, Adam (known to many as the bassist for Pleasurade) is a rising talent in the UK spoken work scene, and though we're never entirely sure what he has planned we KNOW it'll be worth listening to.

They're joined by young blood CALLUM FAIRWEATHER. Callum was one of a precious few to make it to the finals of Bestival's Inaugural Spoken Word contest. He put forth a valiant effort, leaving us spellbound. The stars have finally aligned, and we're able to bring him back down to the island. Expect big things from this boy. He's brutally honest, and unafraid to confront some emotions that would make lesser poets cower in fear.

As ever, opening up proceedings is our own cuddly poet laureate, KING STAMMERS. We tried telling him to sod off, but he just wrote another haiku about how it made him feel. Returning with his normal blend of foul-mouthed haikus, sardonic poetry, and maybe even yet more cute animal pictures means that if nothing else, you'll certainly see nothing else like it. We're mildly contented to say He's also going to be your MC this month. That's nice. His mothers very proud of him at least.

Each month we welcome new guests, different themes, new decor, new visuals and exciting twists and turns with every syllable.

£2 on the door all night.
