the giro playboy - michael smith

Over the last couple of years I've performed extracts from The Giro Playboy extensively, with musical accompaniment from Flora.

Listen to:
» The Seaside Town (MP3/4.9Mb)
» The Icecream Van Melody (MP3/4.3Mb)

We held a year long residency at the Whitechapel Gallery's fortnightly Pulse evenings, and have gone on to play The Purcell Rooms at London’s Southbank Centre, the 'Crossing Borders' festival in The Hague, and a mini tour of Scotland courtesy of Borders Books/Glenfiddich Whisky.

We have played most of the hotspots on London’s spoken word scene - including Cherry Jam’s 'Bookslam', The Great Eastern Hotel’s 'B Club' and the Boogaloo Pub.

The summer just gone was a busy one, with appearances at Haye-on-Wye, Port Eliot, The Latitude Festival, and the Spice Festival in Hackney.
