Musical Traditions Folk Club, www.englishfolkinfo.org.uk/mustrad/mtc.html.
Country: Britain (Irish descent). Style: Performance Poetry.
Lineup: Peter “Racker” Donnelly (recitations).
A Reacaire (anglicised as Racker) was a reciter of topical poems. “Racker” Donnelly was born in Sheffield and brought up in Bray. He lived in Surrey for many years (including a spell as a councillor in Woking). In the last decade he has been reciting his humorous poems in a variety of contexts, including London Folk Clubs.

3rd June 2016 at King and Queen, London W1.
“Dublin Night”, Musical Traditions Folk Club, www.englishfolkinfo.org.uk/mustrad/mtc.html.
This evening consisted mostly of songs about or associated with Dublin (e.g. "Biddy Mulligan, "The Forgetful Sailor", "The Maid of Cabra West", "The Ragman's Ball", "The Charlady's Ball"). More specifically of songs relating to James Joyce (given the proximity to the 16th June the annual Bloomsday celebration derived from the day in 1904 on which the action of Ulysses takes place), and concerning the Easter Rising (with the 100th anniversary happening during the preceeding month).
Country: Britain (Irish descent). Style: Performance Poetry
Lineup: Peter “Racker” Donnelly (recitations).
Racker Donnelly was born in Sheffield to Irish parents. He described Bray as his "spiritual home". He spent time there with his uncle and aunt during the war as an evacuee and in school holidays (and later attended Blackrock College as a border and then UCD). He also returned to Ireland living in Bray (and Sandycove) in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Retired from a career in journalism he was now dedicated himself to his poetry. I took photos of him doing a floorspot when Will Duke & Dan Quinn performed at this club in 2012, see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157632379498657/.

Godfathers of hip hop, spoken word legends THE LAST POETS performed and toured the UK for the first time since 2013, as the headlining act on the Apples and Snakes: Speak Up Newcomers Tour.
Grown out of the civil rights movement in the late 60’s The Last Poets are modern day griots, their spoken word albums preceded politically laced R&B projects such as Marvin Gaye's What's Going On and foreshadowed the work of hard-hitting rap groups such as Public Enemy.
"We all thought we were moving towards bringing about something new, something good, for America – not just for black people, but for all people," Umar Bin Hassan.
Critic Jason Ankeny once wrote, "With their politically charged raps, taut rhythms, and dedication to raising African-American consciousness, the Last Poets almost single-handedly laid the groundwork for the emergence of hip-hop."
Speak Up Newcomers Tour 2015 saw these spoken word legends performing alongside emerging UK spoken word talent.

On the tracks - where we shot part of Sync 1 for the POEM project
This is a Poem: SENSE/AntiSENSE
This project is the result of a collaboration between Jason Taellious, Richard Thietje, Jim Hill and Meesh Rheault Miller. This project explores the fusion of a new form of performance poetry and experimental film. Contrapuntal language and synchronicity are layered with added strata of visuals, sound and music. The viewer experiences the intention of the words on multiple levels – a sort of ephemeral sound sculpture and visual alchemy the unexpected result of reinventing media.
