N.E. England Gig - 24.10.2009

Theory Slam - like Poetry Slams except folks present a theory – 4.00 P.M. Saturday 24.10.2009 at the The Sage, Gateshead, NE England. 

P.S:  this Theory Slam "will be recorded for future broadcast in Radio 3's Night Waves" (BBC website - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/b00qn4b8); the Slam starts at 31:15 and includes about a third of my three-minute speech at 35:45 -  "If you are not American, don't Americanise - for the love of our world being multicultural."

Checked in October 2020, and the BBC recording is no-longer available; I shall add all the words shortly but, meantime, they are summed-up by this Tweet - 

To all non-American humans: rather than copying American pop, rock & (c)rap, PLEASE perform your own good musical traditions, to keep our world/our #UnitedNations nice & multicultural; &, to Native Americans/First Nations, please keep your traditions alive davidfranks.blogspot.com/p/repertoire.html
