FEATURED GUEST ACID ON THE MICROPHONE
POEMS ON STEEL STRINGS – NEAL BONNER
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 at the first Acid on the Microphone event of the season on 15 February 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 recently found his voice as a poet, putting his poems to his own guitar accompaniment.
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.
