Monkey Kettle's Favoured Links of Web
| The Return Of Lieutenant Gruber's Liddle Link Vall... We've had over two hundred writers in Monkey Kettle over the years. Luckily not all of them have asked me to advertise their websites. But here's the ones that have. And some of the ones that haven't. Apologies if any of these are dead. I can't be bothered to check them very often, and I'm certainly not going to have time to chase them up. If you spot one that's dead, tell us and I'll delete it. Shazam! CURRENTLY BEING REBUILT - JUNE 2008
|
 |
| Vincent Berquez (in #28 and #29) | In his own words, Vincent's web site "takes a little while to get going" (i.e. you need to install a better version of Shockwave Player than I had!) but once you're in it's ace - artworks and all! |
| Kit Bowman (in #20 - #27 inclusive) | The Russelling was our resident in-mag cartoon for quite some issues - but check it out online to see how it SHOULD have looked! |
| Brad Evans (in #8, #12, #28 and #30) | Brad runs (or ran - it's not currently taking submissions) a poetry journal called Red Lamp. This is the online side of what is described as "A journal of realist, socialist and humanitarian poetry". |
| Tom Harding (in #27) | Based in Northampton, this is Tom's website, called "To Marianne". |
| Andy Humphrey (in #21, #25, #26, #27) | Long-term friend of the Kettle and ex-Speakeasyer now in York, this is his website. |
| Nigel Humphreys (in #23 and #27) | http://www.nigelhumphreyspoet.com/ |
| Aoife Mannix (in #10) | Also in the Monkey Kettle book - from a little way back, but she's done pretty well for herself since, so well worth adding her link here. |
| Meechy (in #25) | Local artist / writer type who's won awards and everything. Here he is. |
| Paul Murphy (in #26, #28 and #29) | Paul's got a Blogspot. On it he mainly looks at some pretty hard-sounding movies. |
| Jaymz OTL (in #21 and our pal anyway) | http://www.cellartapes.com/ - includes his music and t'ing. |
| Peter Schwartz (back cover, #28) | His artwork can be seen all over the internet, but specifically at http://www.sitrahahra.com/ |
| Doug Tanoury (in #9) | Detroit-based Doug's got two sites to check out - Funky Dog Publishing and his own Online Poetry site. They both seem to be his own stuff though. As far as I can see! |
| Natalie Williams (in #29!) | New to the world of Monkey Kettle, you can see Natalie's work in the very latest issue. And here's her site! |
| BANDS & MUSIC IN MILTON KEYNES AND NEARBY, SOME OF WHICH WE HAVE QUITE MAJOR CONNECTIONS WITH - OR ARE IN! |
|
| The Further Adventures Of Vodka Boy | Um... yes, this might well feature the Editor of Monkey Kettle on Lead Vox. But a splendid evening out for all nonetheless! ;-) |
| David Goo | Smashing acoustic rock wid darkly comic edge. Based in London, created in America or somewhere like that! |
| Jokulhaups Records | Localish record label, with examples of their ware here on their MySpace. An eclectic output! Trancey, dancey, Eurobeaty and more... |
| Dan Plews | Local boy made extremely good on the international Folk scene. |
| Raw Pride | Ace hip hop collective from the mean streets of MK. As seen at Lupus Aid etc. |
| The Road To Corm | Have YOU ever dreamed a golden city to believe in? Fabtastic concept rock side project fun! |
| Speeding Mellow | Man alive, do I love cellos! And here's a great MK band with a cello right up top. Result! |
| Sushi | Monkey Kettle Music Hero Phil is a troubadour for hire. Here's his MySpace, dude! Awesome! |
| The Zeroes | Fellow poet/musician Tom F's band, they have quite the reputation on the MK gig circuit! |
| ARTS
& STUFF IN MILTON KEYNES (and nearby) |
|
| ArtsCastMK | Great new local events diary site thing. With podcasts and all - I'm even ON the first one! |
| Company MK | Impressive local theatre, particularly of big musicals an t'ing. |
| Concrete Chaos | Useful local site for music, with bands, news, reviews, and links. |
| Ludamus Theatre Co. | Unofficial home page of ace Stantonbury-based Ludamus, bringing together current and ex-students alike in the name of exciting theatre, since 1991AD. |
| Peppers Ghost Theatre Company |
Award-winning local theatre company. We
should know - it was us that gave
them the award! |
| Performing Arts Newsletter | Online guide to theatre and arts in MK, including reviews, links, and forthcoming productions. A very useful resource. |
| Poetry Kapow | Hosting and judging poetry nights in MK was too much for my paper-weak nerves. So the Slam baton has been ceremonially passed on to these groovy types. (bows) Check 'em out! |
| Ripping Pages | A Northampton-based Writer's Group which a few MK bods have been along to and highly recommend. Let's spread out our tendrils, long and green and tendrilly. |
| Speakeasy | Long-established MK Writers' group who do workshops, events, etc. Recommended. |
| Whose Turn Is It Anyway? | MK-based improvisation team, based primarily at MADCAP. Any resemblance to a long-gone Channel 4 impro comedy show is strictly intentional. Knob gags aplenty, so well worth a look. |
| FURTHER AFIELD : WRITING
RESOURCES (including other Poetry Mags) |
|
| Dee Rimbaud | Very
well-organised writer/artist, plenty for sale and to look at here. He
also has an online blog at http://deerimbaud.blogspot.com/ which
is well worth a read. |
| Devil Stick Peat | Performer and adventurer, there's no-one quite like Peat. |
| Ink Provoking | A site which generates regular writing challenges to get you going if you're stuck. Which is fair enough. |
| Lit Mag Central | Very comprehensive site with links and articles about Lit in the UK. |
| Moontown Cafe | Online poetry forums, competition details etc. |
| The Poetry Kit | Useful set of links and resources for all kindsa poetry. You'll spot us listed in the magazines section. Hey hey! |
| Sixties Press |
Publishers
of great and underrated poetry. Get involved. |
| JUST OTHER THINGS WE LIKE |
|
| The Breast Cancer Site | One of those sites where you click a link and it donates a small amount (just do it every day though, and it soon adds up). Also links to other sites like the Hunger site and saving animals, rainforests etc. No excuse not to, costs nowt. |
| Online
graphic novelly greatitude. |
|
| Garfield Minus Garfield | The simplest ideas are usually the greatest. Take Garfield out of Garfield cartoons and what are you left with? A lonely lonely man. Fantastic. |
| Pokey The Penguin | Excellently bizarre online cartoon, with no graphical expense spared. Some of this actually reaches genius. |
| Rabbit With Things On Head Site | One of my favourite web pages ever. Japanese chap fills the web with photos of his rabbits with things on their head. And that's it. Enjoy! |
