FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
'UTTER!' Spoken Word returns to Camden's Green note for 'Utter!' ISSUES with Hollie McNish, Kayo Chingonyi, Laurie Bolger, Mel Jones & Alan Wolfson – for just £5.
Tuesday 21st October, Green Note, 106 Camden Parkway NW1 7AN, 7pm.
As part of its Arts Council-supported 10th birthday celebrations, London's legendary 'Utter!' spoken word returns to one of its favourite ever venues to tackle the big issues:
SEXISM: Hollie McNish
One of the hottest properties in Spoken Word at the moment, with millions of hits for her sharp feminist pieces commissioned by the likes of the Guardian and an eagerly-anticipated new album out. Her UK tour's London date has completely sold out, but you can still catch her feature set at 'Utter!'
RACISM: Kayo Chingonyi
The young widely-published Geoffrey Dearmer prize-winner and guest editor of Magma poetry magazine reads from his provocative new poem cycle 'Calling a Spade a Spade'.
AGEISM: Both exhibiting energy to put any poet half their age to shame, Mel Jones will be lightening the mood with poems about sex and ageing while Alan Wolfson, pedantic sharpener of the pencil of pointlessness, gives his inner child full rein.
Plus previous Paid Gig contest winner Laurie Bolger, co-host of Britain's most popular Spoken Word night BANG SAID THE GUN and her own Roundhouse radio show.
Your Host: Richard Tyrone Jones of Radio 4's 'Big Heart'. ***** - Three Weeks magazine.
PAID GIG CONTEST: Just turn up to get 3 minutes to read your work. The audience decides, by secret ballot, who wins a £50 paid gig!
7pm start. £5 prebooked tickets still available: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/290216
or £7.50 on the door.
