What is an A. F. Harrold?

…an unlikely Slam Champion, poet, performance poet and person.

'This won't be for everybody.' - The Herald, 2003.


A.F. Harrold - a man for all seasons (except summer, which is a bit hot on the whole).

He has spent years writing things down and reading things out and along the way several hundreds of people have smiled wryly, chuckled happily and been mildly surprised at the good bit.

You can find some examples of his work by clicking the poems link above which will take you to a place where such things can be had to read and listen to, or clicking the kids link if you'd prefer something designed to amuse the younger members of the audience. Or you can follow this link to take you to a podcast of an early draft of a tragi-comic novel, or this one to take you to a podcast series of surreal lectures. Or you can follow this one to take you to his My Space space where there are more poems to hear, or this one to a different My Space space where there is music what he wrote to listen to. Alternately to hear a full live set recorded at The Wondermentalist Cabaret in Totnes, Devon in 2008 you could click this link.

Want a cut out and keep A.F. Harrold paper doll, designed by Dolly Dolly, to sit on your desk? Right click here. (And choose 'save target as...')

The best way to find out all that's going on, where he's playing, what he's playing and why (not to mention the chance to take part in occassional competitions with real prizes) is to join the A F Harrold Irregular Information List? Just click the red words and say 'Can I join your list please?'


'This yak-poet is Spike Milligan and Peter Cook rolled into one.' - Daljit Nagra, 2008
