Dave Bryant has been on the London poetry scene for some considerable time, ducking his way up and down stairs to sweaty cellars and rooms above pubs to spread his frequently high paced, sometimes slightly warped "art". He has even been known to wander into theatres, libraries and art galleries when the invitation is extended. In fact, he's been on the same bill as bands and even Burlesque performers before now in his ridiculous and possibly fatal mission to get the poetry over to as wide an audience as possible.
Over the last few years, he has performed sets for (amongst others):
Apples and Snakes
Utter!
New Blood
The George Tavern
The Cellar at The Poetry Cafe
Whitechapel Art Gallery
Novas Gallery
Touch Me I'm Sick at the Old Crown
Tall Lighthouse
The Klinker
Y Tuesday Poetry Club
Borders Bookstore on Oxford Street
...and many more venues and nights which are fondly remembered by the poet but couldn't really be listed here, otherwise this entire biography would end up being a list of venues and we wouldn't get much further. Just because he didn't namecheck you, though, doesn't mean to say he doesn't want you to ask him back.
He has also been published in the Hearing Eye anthology of London writers and performers "In The Company of Poets" which is still commercially available, and some of his work has also featured in numerous "Delinquent" anthologies which can be ordered through http://www.thedelinquent.co.uk. The UK Poetry Podcast has also been known to feature his work, and the live recordings above stem from an event they put on at the Poetry Cafe in London.
Keep an eye on this profile for audio and visual updates, and read the blog. He doesn't refer to himself in the third person there, at least.
