Attila the Stockbroker, Pete Murry, Ian Reid, Glenn Smith, Outbar Squeek
Sat 2 Oct 1982 at
Adams Arms (London - Camden) (16)
The first Apples and Snakes show. Headlined by probably the then-best-known name on the live poetry circuit, supported by various alumni of Worthless Words, the writers’ collective that spawned A&S in the first place. Glenn Smith later performed under the name Markus Jahn.
Benjamin Zephaniah, Belinda Blanchard, Emile Sercombe, Take It
Sat 9 Oct 1982 at
Adams Arms (London - Camden) (16)
The second A&S show, and the first to feature the already-established Zephaniah. Also the first to feature Belinda Blanchard, who was destined to be something of an early A&S favourite; and Emile Sercombe, a member of the pre-A&S collective Worthless Words and another cornerstone of these early bills.
Fran Landesman, Patric Cunnane, Berni Cunnane, Sonia Pascall, Martin Brown

Adams Arms (London - Camden) (16)
Contrary to the wording of the flyer, the Cunnanes were not performing as a Carpenteresque brother-sister act. They did separate sets.
Staunch Poets & Players, Chris Cardale, Julian Pearce

Controlled Attack, Mark Steel, In and Out
Sat 30 Oct 1982 at
Adams Arms (London - Camden) (16)
This is the Mark Steel. He was a member of Worthless Words, the precursors of Apples and Snakes. Controlled Attack included later A&S solo performer Alan Gilbey.
Kevin Coyne, Owen O'Neill, Spartacus R, Sheri Laizer
6 Nov 1982 at
Adams Arms (London - Camden) (16)
Apparently a memorable night, thanks to a typically frenetic performance by Kevin Coyne.
Joolz, Patrik Fitzgerald, Michael Belbin, Slade the Leveller
Sat 13 Nov 1982 at
Adams Arms (London - Camden) (16)
Debuts by future A&S regulars Joolz and Slade, and a welcome appearance by punk maverick Fitzgerald.

Bella on Contact usThe Spoken Word Archive is an amazing wealth of knowledge and history! It's so great to be able to track the progress of one's poetic heroes from grassroots to where they are now :) Thank you!
Fiona Marie on Lydia TomkiwThis is fascinating! It's sent me down an Algebra Suicide / Lydia Tomkiw researching wormhole.
