"Merseyside's most popular performance poet."
Merseyside Arts Monthly
"There is real emotion in each piece, even underneath the cutting comic mood.
We have got to admire this man's honesty and his ability. Every critic and editor's nightmare, and every reader's dream.
All we can hope is that he comes to recite at a pub near us very soon."
The Big Issue
"David Bateman's poems come directly from the pub, the music-hall and the street.
He's a kind of top-gear Gavin Ewart on the top deck of a local bus."
Ian McMillan
"Seriously hysterical poetry- a genuinely amusing and frank entertainer."
