Andy Bell Is Torsten.…… a series of concept albums, poetry books and musical theatre shows from the mind of a pansexual, semi-immortal, bohemian sensualist.
Lambeth, London
Joined July 2014
New Bronski Beat album ‘Forbidden Fruit: The Age Of Consent Remixed’ has lots of connections to the Andy Bell is Torsten project. Barney product managed, Chris overdubbed some piano & saxophone & Erasure/Depeche Mode producer Gareth Jones made a remix! https://t.co/ifIh0YYnMF

Andy Bell is Torsten writer @barney_poet has a limited edition new pamphlet out, ‘Beau, Beau Sadisto!’ - the first untender shapings of an all new spin-off character…?

Friends! Here's the promo video of my poem 'Endings' from my current @polaripress poetry collection, 'Cul-de-Sacrilege!' 'Endings' was first read at @Cheltpoetfest & @forumplus before being worked on for 'Cul-de-Sacrilege!' It's about the fear of a pending, imagined Armageddon.
