Poet Reprobate - book by Trev Teasdel

Poet Reprobate was the second chap book I produced, this one in 1985, published by The Poetic Licence Collective, a Teesside based magazine run by Ann Wainwright. It consisted of performance poems, stories, lyrics from the 70's or early 80's and graphics designed in a fanzine style and popular at my gigs and on the International small press network.

This version is a recently revised edition, the core of which reflects the original but with additional or replaced material and restructured layout.

Port of Love - The poem Port of Love was made into a song later on but I only have the instrumental backing track played on keyboards by myself, Steve Gillgallon and Stephen Ingledew.

Love Song written 1981 - cassette recording with Trev on vocals and guitar and Steve Gillgallon on bass and lead.

We Talked For Ages - Live version of the poem to music -Trev guitar and voice.

Hardrock Holiday - performance poem by Trev - This is just the basic instrumental backing recorded at the Dovecot arts Centre Stockton on Tees 1982 by Colin Walker in piano and then keyboard. The final performance has Ann Wainwright on keyboards, Colin Walker on violin, Steve Gillgallon on bass, Richard Sanderson on guitar and a guy from Huddersfield on flute and Trev performing the poem but no recording was made of the final work as performed live.
