Hairy Poets at the Torriano
Konstandinos Mahoney and Dónall Dempsey - Dino and Donie - aka almost anagrams - aka the Hairy Poets - knocking a few poems about on the stage of the Torriano Meeting House, severally and together, separately and simultaneously, all for your delectation and delight.
Spend your Sunday evening with a Greek-Irish Londoner and an Irish-Guildfordian from the Curragh of Kildare sparring with words and speaking in tongues as a poetry duo, a poetry duel, a duet of hairy poets, twins surely separated at birth in another universe, sharing a stage for one night only in this.
