Read more about Chuck Middleton, aka Chuck the Poet who will be joining us at our Corby Community Gathering on 23rd April with some inspirational performances!
What kind of artist are you?
I am a published performance punchline poet.
Where do you find inspiration?
Following the break up of acclaimed band BS3704, I started writing poetry instead of lyrics. Back then mostly observed musings or involving bodily functions but things changed and punchline poetry evolved. I have publishing three poetry books and performed all over the country using witty writing and an odd pun.
What advice would you give to anyone who wants to be an artist in Northamptonshire?
Just do it …yes it can be scary but the rewards can be huge.
Do you have any memories of Made With Many Projects that are important to you?
Without Made With Many, Corby and Wellingborough would be a poorer place, they have built stages and the people have come. They have facilitated fun and created opportunities. There have been many events but the 2018 Living Legends sticks in the mind as it was collectively a great gathering of work.

What is your favourite biscuit or treat?
That’s tough and not a shorty answer, I’d have to digestive on that. I’m not one for hobnobbing around a subject or jam dodging the question but are you looked for a packet biscuit or an individually wrapped treat? Fox’s Classic….
