FEATURED GUEST ACID ON THE MICROPHONE
NEAL BONNER – Steel Strings & Poems
Sometimes he takes a page from punk poet John Cooper Clark; other times he draws from his own deep well of prose poems and holds captive a hushed audience.
Neal Bonner, originally from the UK and now resident of Golden Bay, is a poet of some substance. His words tell stories against a back drop of some stunning original music. He weaves his words around the steel strings of his guitar and creates a strong and resonate tapestry of word song that dances to its own tune.
He will be the featured artist Acid on the Microphone on Thursday 18 September at the Mussel Inn.
Neal’s performances are as engaging as they are beautiful and impossible to ignore. Starting life as a musician- and still a talented one at that – Neal has found his voice as a poet, wrapping his words around the steel strings of his guitar.
Neal’s poetry and music speak from personal perspectives and what moves him. He says, “I’m enjoying bringing this ‘real Neal’ experience to intimate audiences.
