BBC Radio 4 National Poetry Slam – North West Final

A reminder that this prestigious event is this evening Thursday 2nd July 2009. Doors open at 7.30pm for an 8pm start at the Greenroom, Whitworth Street Manchester  (there’s a map on the gig guide at www.writeoutloud.net)

BBC Radio 4 will be broadcasting a second series of Poetry Slam programmes in 2009 and, after a series of closely fought local slams – Bolton, Wigan, Salford, Wirral, Liverpool, Manchester and more – this is the North West Slam Final.

All of the contestants are top performance poets who already are slam champions in their own right! This promises to be an excellent evening with superb performance poetry.

We also have music from one of the North’s leading musicians, Kevin Bates, who will play a specially commissioned set in between the first and second round of the competition.

So a night not to be missed – see you there.

If you haven’t got a ticket there are a limited number of tickets available so ring the Greenroom box office on 0151 615 0500! £5/£3 (concessions) now and get yours.
