The latest issue of Sandman has a review of the blood and bone marrow donation awareness gig I played in September for Danny North.

Relevant extract here:
"The night takes a detour from rambunctious-rabbit-dance-antics into the realm of spoken word performance with the arrival of Penny Broadhurst. Coming equipped with only a mic, setlist notes, barbed witticisms and zesty rhyming couplets, Penny regales us with some interesting poetic ruminations on (amongst other things) the banality of modern reality-pop shows, call-centre life and living with a socially-unrecognised disability. It's captivating stuff, and gives the evening a very interesting twist, just a pity some chuntering clods at the back seem to think their conversations take precedence in terms of volume." Nick Kearns, Sandman magazine.

My track LJaded has been shortlisted for the demo hour at the launch of 20/20/02 Vision 2007 - a competition that puts 20 filmmakers with 20 bands/artists to make 20 videos in two weeks (the best of those 20 win prizes etc). One track is voted in by the crowd at the launch gig to automatically get one of the 20 places. If you turn up to the Fav in Leeds on Tuesday and vote for me, I might get that automatic place.
