Speech Painter

Contains 10 performances.

Originally part of a duo, The Speech Painters (with Max Barnes), Geoff Allnutt was sole user of the name by 1996. Also belonged to 'poetry pop group' Atomic Lip alongside Patience Agbabi, Steve Tasane and Joelle Taylor (the latter later replaced by Pink Sly). Often appears these days as support act to friend and neighbour Philip Jeays (Phil's song 'Geoff' is, indeed, about him) or as vocalist in Radio KWG ensemble. Based in Midhurst, West Sussex.
