The Suburbian Poet "We Buy Gold Music"
Hi My names Craig and one of my joy’s and releases in life is to write poetry, music and the odd bit of prose. I grew up on a council estate in South London and am now a lucky enough to live in Royal Tunbridge Wells in the middle of the countryside In such a beautiful place, most writers could say a dream get away amongst lush green pastures, alongside such history and interest, I’ll post some of the pictures of where I go to write and have been writing in the past year or so when I get a few moments.
School for me was trial and tribulation and I was not so great in many subjects but English I managed to scrape a grade B although my concentration and being a bit of a joker held me back from gaining a higher degree, my proudest moment winning the school poetry contest writing a poem about a young deaf girl and only to find out at the end of the piece it was actually written by someone deaf theirselves.
My poetry is written by observation and emotion depending on my surroudings or different moods that I find myself in, I can sometimes either enjoy or vent a different kind of delivery which as you will see at times that can be very off key and hard to decipher, but on the flip side of the coin my writing can be easy flowing and easily figured. My other passion and one that’s takes up most of my time is my band “We Buy Gold” :http://www.webuygoldmusic.co.uk/photo.html it is a project I started a few years ago that took shape from my experiences of the underground rave scene and one that I converted into a live sound with a great bunch of musicians who understand my direction and are still with me to date. I was involved in the music scene from an early age and got involved with pirate radio and started to use my poetry as a way of expression in a poetic way amongst the drum and bass scene and aquired after of a few years an individual style like nothing else out there. After a few years on the drum and base circuit I decided to go abroad and grab some experience and disipline in Spain, But this time trying to get a job in a top club hosting House and Garage music, and luckily ended up working for three years in a Club called “Tokio Joe’s” which was 5 minuets from at the the time the biggest club in Europe “Bcm” and Tokio Joe’s one of the great clubs it’s self. After 3 years I decided to return to London and carry on my journey and got involved with legal radio, and produced adverts for major event’s including Garage Nation. After a few years back the drum and bass scene for me took a turn for the worst and the fun and good vibes dissapeared, it was then I decided to convert everything I had discovered and learn’t into a live band. “We Buy Gold”http://www.flickr.com/photos/60578145@N05/6089923502/in/photostream We have just recorded our first Album “Ron’s Room” and released our first single “Spanish Beats”: http://www.webuygoldmusic.co.uk/and had some great reviews including one from”Mizz Mag”that gave us 4 stars the same as Nicola Roberts form girls aloud and Jay-z’s new sighing J.Cole. We are currently working on our second album but plan to release Ron’s Room very soon and have a great vibe about the band and have met some great people along the way, some of whom have become close friends. I’d like to share some blog’s and some of my writing/poetry with everyone and also gain interest in others like myself, I hope you enjoy these first few pieces.Craig.
