Wondermentalist Cabaret

Series 2

Episode 1: Listening to More than Words

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Recorded at Radio 4's 'More than Words' festival of listening in front of an audience at St George's, Bristol, Matt Harvey presents this comedy-infused, musically-enhanced, interactive poetry cabaret. The series begins, suitably enough, with this show on the theme of listening, exploring the spaces between words.

Joined by one man house band, Jerri Hart, and fellow poets Byron Vincent and Sally Jenkinson, Matt Harvey encourages the Bristol audience to surprise themselves with their own creativity, as they crowd-source and group-think a poem on the subject of ears: "as hearing fades, with hand I cup, they are what hold my glasses up".
