Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Though they’ve shared many a line up, this marks the first official union of the Proletariat Pegging Posse – aka local poetry legends Malaika Kegode, 1990s Chris, Bridget Hart and T.S. Idiot. Expect poetry spanning working class identity, queerness, dildos and Freddo annihilation."

A event held at The Chelsea Inn on Wednesday 7th December. The event starts at 19:30.
They're filthy. They're poor. They're queer. It's the Proletariat Pegging Posse! Bristol's secretive (and sexy) poetry squad come to The Chelsea for a night of poetry, punk and (possibly) pegging. 4 queer, working class poets, 2 hours, an unconfirmed number of dildos and Bristol's best punk venue. What's not to love? (or hate)
