from the festival programme:

The first night of the Festival rocks to a close with Penny Rimbaud performing How, a reworking of Allen Ginsberg’s beat poem Howl, accompanied by Louise Elliott on saxophone. Penny Rimbaud is a poet, drummer, writer, former member of the performance art group EXIT and co-founder of the anarchist punk band Crass, with Steve Ignorant in 1977. He also set up the anarchist/pacifist Dial House community in 1967 with Gee Vaucher and Phil Russell and helped to instigate the free festival movement. His works include Reality Asylum, Rocky Eyed and Oh America and he says “our response to things wasn’t a musician or a lyrical response, it was a political response.”
