Mark Gwynne Jones and The Psychicbread

Four times fringe-award winners, Mark Gwynne Jones and the Psychicbread use poetry, music and humour as their messenger. From the girl who spent too long on a sunbed to the joys of driving a Sherman Tank at rush hour. . . the result is contagious, gritty and sometimes startlingly sensitive.

Completing the Psychicbread line up are: Nick the Hat on guitars, sitar, kora and voice; Deb Rose on piano, bass, percussion and voice; and John Thorne on djun djun, udu, djembe, drum kit and voice.

The following clip ‘13 Teeth (Peacock and Pig)’ was recorded live at The King’s Arms, Salford.

Psychic Bread

‘New musical theatre … a rewarding, exotic experience, not to be missed. Billed as Spoken Word, this underplays the complexity of Mark’s unique genre. His stories are imaginatively enhanced by an evocative sound-track created by the music, percussion, and vocals of Psychicbread and the effect is spell-binding.’ —(Sarah Jones, Oxford Festival Fringe)

In the light of this is their new CD taking listeners on a musical and poetic tour de force. Here, poems become songs. Recently featured by Verity Sharp on Radio 3 the album has played on radio stations from California to Sydney, Australia.

‘Shakespeare wouldn’t approve, he’d just be jealous.’ — Mixmag

‘Gwynne Jones should be ruined with fame and money before he shows the rest of us up for the bunch of sissies we are. But if you don’t want the truth don’t call a poet. At least not a real one.’ —The Independent
