Speakeasy Poetry Smackdown

Entry: £3; Open Mic and featured performers
“To celebrate Speakeasy’s second birthday we are doing something slightly different!! Its going to be Milton Keynes Poets VS Peterborough Poets in a fight to the poetic death. Yes that’s right… its fight night with a good old fashioned poetry slam. The winner walks away with a genuine wrestling mask, a support slot on the next Speakeasy in April and also free entry to all Speakeasy’s till next March!!! Plus the Speakeasy title…. I think you would agree it is going to be epic. If you want to enter then please contact keely or Mark on our website.”
Yes, MK poets in some good, old-fashioned poetry rucking with the poets of Peterborough. Bring it on! Mark Niel will have a featured slot and be appearing as a totally unbiased judge. Apparently there’s thematic dressing-up and all…
“Speakeasy promotes some of the best local and national spoken word talent in the UK. Through its two performance nights and also its link in the local community, it supports many different groups and enables poets to have a voice.
“Speakeasy incorporates the best poets the local area has to offer, alongside nationally renowned spoken word artists.
“For example, Scroobius Pip, Dockers Mc, Mc Angel, Francesca Beard, David J to name a few… the night is supported by Writers’ Centre Norwich, which is part of the New Writing Partnership. Speakeasy promises unforgettable evenings in a friendly, laid back atmosphere which will engage,entertain and thrill.”
