About Me

I edited my profile with Thomasâ€™ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

The Sinister Minister, the Sicker Vicar
Rev Porl has been performing as a poet around the UK since the mid 90's. Eventually tiring of the poetry scene as it represented nothing more than "a bunch of t**ts going on", he decided to branch out, and find a wider audience for his filthy odes to monkeys and social workers. In 2002 and 2005 he collaberated with Stuart Crozier from electronic mavericks Superstring on two albums, "Reverend strings the blues" and "Hablo Diablo". He continues to perform as a poet while also fronting the anarchic "TeaTime" and is preparing a new album with the whole band for release in 2008. With his confrontational style, his sharp taste in shades, and his rampant alcoholism, the Rev causes delight and alarm in equal measure wherever he plays. Actually, it's mostly alarm.

Yo! Blair!

Just watched Tony Blair leave office and a bit of a smell which the tories could exploit to create a far bigger smell of their own. Lets hope Gordon is a bit more mainstream (Labour, not Daily Ma...
