SOLD OUT


Recorded in the hot summer of 1997, POPoetry was a collaboration between David Horner and musician and sound engineer David Jones.  Both Davids say, "Neither of us quite knew what we were up to when we started.  However we found we liked the sounds we both made and so we recorded 11 poems from the books So there! and Talking With Your Mouth Full plus a poem specially for the recording."  The cassette proved very popular and live worked followed which the two Davids found hugely enjoyable.

Interesting Tape Fact 1:  Neither David had to stand on the other's shoulders for the cover photograph.
Interesting Tape Fact 2:  For a long time the project had no name and it was finally David Horner's son Ben who came up with POPoetry.


Unfortunately POPoetry (Rock Garden - POP01) is no longer available on cassette and so out of the kindness of his heart David Horner has allowed you to download the tracks from POPoetry in MP3 format.  This will allow you to play these songs on your PC.  You will need some MP3 playing software which you can download for free at www.winamp.com.
