Zena Edwards
Raised in Tottenham, North London, Zena Edwards has become known as one the most unique voices of performance poetry to come out of London, was nominated for the Arts Foundation Award for Performance Poetry 2007 and won the Hidden Creatives Award 2012. She has been commissioned to write for the BBC and the Birmingham Rep, and is Associate Artist at the Albany, London.
"Edwards is a superb performer" - Lyn Gardner

Jonny Fluffypunk
Possessed by the spirit of a 17th century Ranter, Jonny began his ‘career’ spitting vicious political verse between bands at punk gigs until cured by a West Country shaman - since when, armed with his trusty banjolele, he has charmed audiences with his unique blend of poems; songlets; surreal banter; off-kilter observation and bitter autobiography.

A seasoned performer at gigs, festivals, schools, DSS offices and, on one occasion, in the bowels of a decommissioned Navy minesweeper, Jonny is equally at home on cabaret, poetry and alternative comedy stages.

Rob Casey
Voted for by the audience at May’s Archimedes Screw, Robert Sean Casey is a fictional character based on an author of the same name, who uses a variety of aliases, including poet, journalist, filmmaker and novelist.

Plus: a local poet voted for by the audience at May’s Archimedes Screw event at The Art House.
