Dockers MC: "has performed with the likes of Kate Nash and Luke Wright, and her sassy, streetwise monologues are a hit at leftfield music festivals such as Latitude. Dockers acknowledges a wide range of influences from Roald Dahl to Steven Berkoff and even Little Britain." - Times Online

Clare Pollard: "born in 1978. She survived a Bolton comprehensive and three years at Cambridge to end up in London, where she is now working on a novel. She published her first collection, The Heavy Petting Zoo with Bloodaxe in 1998; won an Eric Gregory Award in 2000; and took to the road in the First Lines young poets tour in 2001. She has presented two TV documentaries, one for Channel Four with a verse commentary on the break-ups and piss-ups of Bolton's 16-year-olds." - Bloodaxe

Hannah Silva: "a multi-talented poet, performer and choreographer from Devon. Her physical performances, fast-talking delivery and innovative use of cut-up text make her one of the most ambitious and entertaining poets in the country." - Times Online

Kelly Marie: "I read my first book when I was an infant and quite liked it. I loved poetry when I was a kid; I had this lovely little book at home, it was blue and it had poems and pictures about pies and skies and messy bedrooms, but my favourite one was about Chocolate Cake, and I loved it. Probably because it was about chocolate cake, but still, it got me into writing, and so it began." - MySpace

An eclectic set from DJ Meter Maid

Guest compere is Tom Cubbin: "multi-lingual, dashing, well-travelled accordian player to the kings." - Jody Porter
