Yo Sydney siders! Come along to Australia's first ever spoken word festival!
I am performing on opening night, Thursday the 6th of March.
The Night Words Festival is a modern day camp–fire, a cosmopolitan coroboree where stories are performed and songs are set alight. With politics gone mad, our climate off the scale, and war raging on- the time to speak up is now. With just a mic under a spotlight individual voices from across Australia step into the ring. The Studio will be packed with poetry, hip-hop, lyrics, monologues and music from un-earthed poetry slam winners to veterans like Tug Dumbly, Miles Merrill, Edwina Blush, Ghost Boy (Bris), Emilie Zoey Baker (Melb) and more Over three very different nights Australia’s best versifiers are joined by celebrity songwriters, hip-hop artists and novelists like Kev Carmody, Steve Kilbey (The Church), Linda Jaivin and Ozi Batla (The Herd).
Set to a live soundtrack by Entropic, Waiting for Guinness and Trevor Brown.
7:30pm every night March 6-8

March 6: Night Words House Party
The music pauses. The lights go out. One spotlight hits a lone poet who stands and delivers. Poetry is delivered on trays, in back rooms, on screens, from balconies and more. All set to a live soundtrack by the Night Words House Band- Entropic
March 7: Legends of the Word
Meet the stars of the Sydney's spoken-word underground. Samples, beats, images, poets live and dead and take us from rhyming beginnings to slamming present, with music by Trevor Brown.
March 8: Slamarama
You be the judge as 12 of Australia's word heavies create 3 super-slam teams and battle it out using hip-hop, theatre, spoken-word and whatever comes up. Accompanied by the wild rhythms of Waiting for Guinness
Warning: contains coarse language and adult themes
