Robert Artley

As described in my blog from 25^th of May 2014, I had my 3^rd live performance at the poetry slam in the Cologne (Arttheater) on the 23^rd of June 2014.

It was fun as always and I enjoyed myself very much. I sang 2 songs, which were new for approx. 98% of the audience :-). More musicians than comedians performed on stage this time. At the end the audience nominated a very talented young singer/songwriter as so-called “Kapitalistenschwein”:

1. Alexander Körner (aka Van Nazareth)
2. Robert Gross (aka Emily’s Giant)
3. Robert Artley (me :-))

My first song “A long way” is about someone who had to leave home and friends. Time will tell if a relationship over a long distance can be kept and will survive or not. Maybe you can feel what I mean! Have fun with the Youtube-video:

For the non German speakers: Gert Buurmann and Hildegart Scholten – the 2 moderators of “Kunst gegen Bares” made jokes about my hairless feet 🙂 at the beginning.
