April is National Poetry Month in the US and – seeing as it might be the last one – I’m celebrating by sharing recently-released recordings of poems from my collection Noisesome Ghosts made by Graham Farram.

[058] “A Ghost of 50 Berkeley Square, London” (n.d.)

Graham’s reading:

Image: 50 Berkeley Square today. This famous haunting repeatedly belies the claim that living persons cannot be physically harmed by anomalous forces.

JOHN COOPER CLARKE
Snap, Crackle & Bop
1980 UK pressing

It took me watching British panel shows to discover John Cooper Clarke.

This is a really great album with killer tunes, and I particularly love “Conditional Discharge”.

Here, he gets musical help from Martin Hannett, Pete Shelley, and Bill Nelson to name a few.
