Title: Words, words, words...

Jeff Price is one of a select band of poets... the Poetry Vandals.

Jeff has been "playing" with words all his life. It all started at a very early age when his father presented him with a dictionary. And even the task of learning a page a day was not a punishment - more a joy.

But it wasn't until seven years ago that he took to writing and performing the poetry that had been in his soul all his life.

Together with the other Poetry Vandals - Scott, Kate, Annie, Aiden and Karl, Jeff performs a vibrant, colourful and dynamic explosion of words at regular events across Europe and here in the North East.

Their performance poetry is often taken into slam poetry and it's in slam that Scott and Kate are particularly versed.

In this film, we see Jeff taking us on a short journey through words to an evening in the Chillingham Arms... you can feel the words envelope you...
