"Fidge Bibblyotek started off the night with his brand of poetry. It was slightly beat, slightly surreal, slightly political, slightly scathing attacks on society. It was the first time Bibblyotek had used a phone to read his poetry and there were a couple of teething problems, but nothing that removed the rapt audience from the words. One poem was about living in Brighton. The best line was ‘No one can drive you to Gatwick, as it costs more than wine’. His set ended with a poem about deconstructing the Greggs menu. Each item was given a slightly political meaning. It reminded me of author John Green’s The Anthropocene Reviewed podcast and the episode about the Taco Bell breakfast menu. But funnier. However, Bibblyotek claimed that a cheese and onion slice was good. Gah! It isn’t. Other than that, it was a strong start to the night."

If yr wondering why NW #4 hasn't appeared yet its cos I've (Fidge) been too busy working on my first book of short stories. Tangos For Ennui collects works from 2012 - 2024 including lots of previously unpublished and brand new writing. It will be published this summer. Then I promise I'll crack on with the next zine.

We're down to the last 7 copies of the book...

"A omnibus of all the 2023 editions of the Never Work zine, in one lavishly printed book. Inspired by the likes of Guy Debord and William S Burroughs, Never Work explores the fertile ground of life beneath capitalism's radar - a place where artists, poets, and writers comes together to reconsider how language might be used to critique the very system it upholds. Brazenly sticking two-fingers up to all those who have 'got it together', Never Work celebrates life's struggling outsiders - autists, qu**rs, addicts, and anarchists. It serves as a manifesto for the last days of capitalism, a cry for the last remaining path of resistance - in the face of global exploitation, a world in which your labour is actively used against you, there is but one sane option: never work!"

Fidge (NW boss) has a solo tape coming out thru a great little label. The sleeve art is by regular NW contributor Jake Kennedy. The album is minimalist, experimental, ambient, and a bit noisy. The work is a tribute to John Cage and Luciano Berio, it's primarily made from cutups of found audio. If that sounds interesting to you pls consider pre-ordering the release thru the label's bandcamp page -
