Highlight: Every year this event just gets better and better. The cream of young Britain's spoken word performance with Linzie Kwesi as guest is bound to get your neurons firing.
Lowlight: Didn't know Linzie was performing until it was too late to inform my other half who is a big fan. Yet another memorable event he has missed out on due to young Kyle!
Fill in: This event cured me of my fear of teenagers.
The Poetry Society runs an annual event for young people for spoken word performance. The imagery that comes out of the mouths of these guys is truly humbling. I hadn't been back to the Drill Hall since the early nineties, when I used to use the darkrooms as it was close to my partners offices where I used to sleep between jobs. I did a True Blood style shoot of the finalists as a personal project as well as the commissioned work of taking the performances and press shots.
