Updates from TheNeverPress - news from inside the camp, and also dispatches from out there. These may be film, tv or music reviews, artist profiles and interviews, industry updates or the odd gonzo report from our various misdeeds and shenanigans.

Mic Nightlife: POW - Play on Words, The Roebuck, Borough

Write Speak Recover: Nic Stanley

This project and the poetry scene are rooted in shared experiences. Those moments that make you sit up and say “I have written about this too!” As if you are hearing your experience but in a different context. Nic is one of those poets for me. The poem she selected

Since starting this project I seem to have developed a sense that tells me a poet has a deeper story to tell while I watch them perform. Something beyond their words that has drawn them to that particular stage at that time, leaving me moved to speak to them and

Write Speak Recover: Rick McLean
