dear cliford Jeff Nuttall lives up the road from here in Abergavenny and works between there and London. he acts on tv in things like the Lenny Henry Show and he was Friar Tuck in one of the Robin Hood films and he continues to write, read and paint. he has a show of paintings at Brecon at the moment. the work reminds me of his sculpture which he displayed at happenings in the late sixties (and probably before that when he was workingh with Bob Cobbing and many others). it is "landscape painting wih relief lumps of stuffed stocking" his work since _Bomb Culture_ is extensive. you could check a biblography via the internet. his work with the People Show was extensive and he wrote two volumes on Performance art (John Calder publisher) as well as one on the comedian Frank Randle (Routledge Keagan & Paul). I co-published two books of his and they are probably still in print. you can get them from jim pennington at Aloes Books, 110 Mount View Road London N4 1JX I recommend _The Foxes Lair_ which is a late expressionist visual-poem with some succinct collages. the other book (a fiction) was called _What Happened to Jackson_ we also distributed his _sculpture_ book but I think they have beren sold. Jeff also plays cornet in a jazz band in an Abergavenny pub and co-runs a poetry group there, I don't go to that town very much, so you wld have to find out about it from someone else. Maybe Mainstream/RWC/Jethro Cadbury will reply to you. Charles Bernstein reads on video-tape in the San Francisco archive. he also features on cd-rom. check his page at buffalo. He has a clear delivery with a hard back-beat which varies from book to book. Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney may still be alive, they were both overrated writers and Hughes is a very poor reader, but I think they stopped writing poetry a long time ago, at least, as far as I can tell. very best allen fisher hereford, uk %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
