The Antipoet:
‘The Antipoet’, Paul Eccentric and Ian Newman are comedic beat poets with a double bass and a triangle. An act that defies description and it well worth leaving the house for! They have become somewhat successful over the last fifteen years, tirelessly touring the poetry, comedy, Steampunk and music circuits appearing at countless festivals including, Glastonbury, Bestival, Camp Bestival, The Edinburgh Fringe, and Brighton.
