Word Life - featuring Denis Jones, Polar Bear, Joe Hakim, Andy Cook and open mic. Hosted by Joe Kriss.
Denis Jones played for Word Life this time last year, and was so good we had to invite him back. Over the last four years he has developed a show-stopping live performance based around the core of his exceptional and unique guitar-playing style and rich, soulful voice.
Polar Bear aka Steve Camden is one of the most accomplished performance poets in the UK. His poem 'Jessica' has clocked up over 50,000 views on youtube, and is widely considered to be one of the best individual examples of spoken word in the UK.
Joe Hakim is a writer, poet and spoken word performer from Hull. He was the winner of Poetry Idol 10, a spoken word competition held at Shortfuse in Islington. Since then he has been performing around the UK on a regular basis with residences at Contact in Manchester, Birmingham REP, the Battersea Arts Centre, the Shunt Vault, the Crossing Borders project in Mytholmroyd and Hyperlexic presents: Poetry Boxing.
Andy Cook is a spoken word artist from Sheffield. He is to audiences what card tricks are to kids. He studies English with Creative Writing at the University of Birmingham.
