From the Bowels of Londinium They Came...


Following the success of the recent London Recession Session night (featuring the likes of Tom McCarthy, Paul Ewen, Lee Rourke, Christiana Spens and many more), Beat The Dust is now running the various stories, speeches, poems and slanders online along with some footage of the night (minus the organiser Melissa Mann, Will Ashon and myself as our moving images cannot be captured due to a thousand year old Carpathanian Gypsy curse placed on the heads of our peasant forefathers - the tape got chewed or something).

Still there are photos of my grotesque visage and some much more pleasing to the eye from the night here. And the writer Sam Jordison has kindly reviewed the shindig for 3:AM Magazine.

Here's a quote from it (which I intend to have etched on my gravestone) - "A person has to have something going for him if he can introduce himself by saying “My name’s Darran Anderson, apologies for the hair” and then tell a story about masturbating in front of traffic and how JG Ballard had put him up to such depravity."
