Poet Puzzlers – Matt Nicholson

This week’s puzzled poet is a true gentleman, and we know this because we met whilst navigating the outer rim of galaxy 2471a. There in the depths of space, rapidly leaking oxygen due to an impromptu game of knifey-handy, Matt ‘the terror of Tenturion 7’ Nicholson fashioned a repair kit using only moisture from his suit and space dust. He’s also got a wonderful new book out called ‘Small Havocs’, and was due to be our next guest (after the lockdown hopefully he’ll still come and perform his balloon animal and poetry extravanganza for us).

Poet Puzzlers – Bob Horne

Sticking with our opening salvo of Puzzle Hall Poet royalty, we have Bob Horne. Alongside John Foggin, Bob was at the helm of the Puzzle Hall Poets for six (yes count them six) years, before handing over the reigns to Laura, Charlotte and Steve. A true gentleman, and the brains, braun, and everything else behind Calder Valley Poetry, read on to find out how severely we should be troubled by his addiction to cricket.

Poet puzzlers – john foggin

Our second victim to be tossed into the thresher we call the Poet Puzzlers is a Puzzle Hall Poets cornerstone. For 6 years, alongside Bob Horne, he has run, compered, hosted, marketed, breathed life into Puzzle Hall Poets Live (and continues to do so despite officially letting some new muppets have a go). He needs no introduction (so pretend you haven’t read that). The one and only, John ‘The Great Fogginzo’ Foggin.

Our new youtube channel

Thanks to the very wonderful Alan Wrigley - Puzzle regular, film maker, musician, and all-round Renaissance man, we now have our own Youtube channel.

Poet Puzzlers – laura potts

First up in our new interview series we talked to our very own Laura Potts to find out what skeletons lurk in the closet of the poet that Elfen Dictarship Monthly once described as ‘most likely to annihilate an entire species’.

A Little Lockdown Light

Good morning, and a happy April to everyone.
We really hope everyone is staying safe and well in these strangest of times. Obviously we are missing all of your lovely faces terribly and as a small offering to help stave off the urge to scale the walls, we’ve started a new interview series – The Poet Puzzlers (blame Steve for the cheesy name). First up is our very own Laura Potts.

Oz Hardwick – March Puzzle Poets

Puzzle Poets at the Navigation is proud to present our Monday March 2nd event. Special guest Oz Hardwick and open mic (of course).
Oz Hardwick was due to be our guest last November when his gig was cancelled at the 11th hour by the unexpected closure of the pub. We’re delighted that it’s re-opened, and finally we’ll get to hear him perform.
