Baden Prince - Mama, Me and ...
Advertisement
The joyous Antiguan-born poet, performer and storyteller Baden Prince brings 'a celebration of my Caribbean upbringing and of my grandmother who raised me.'
He has been part of London's Live Literature and Spoken Word scene since the turn of the (21st) century!
Between 2003 – 2010 he was organiser, promoter and host of “Speakeasy,” one of the most popular and highly-regarded poetry and spoken word events in London.
His own performance credits are myriad and he was Writer-in-Residence with the London Borough of Havering’s Library Service in 2003/4 and again in 2007/8. He has worked extensively in schools and community settings all over the country as a workshop facilitator for organisations such as Apples & Snakes, Hackney Learning Trust and Spread the Word, on projects as diverse as the London Schools Poetry Slam, Linklaters Reading and Writing Challenge and New London Orchestra’s Music & Literacy Project.
Over the past few years Baden has developed an impressive reputation as a storyteller, largely due to a series of appearances at the East Anglian Storytelling Festival where he has delighted and enthralled audiences young, old and young at heart. He was a featured artist at Halsway Manor’s “3 Golden Apples” Storytelling Festival in October 2018, by special invitation of organiser and host Taffy Thomas MBE; has been invited to perform at events in Southend-on-Sea, Havering, Swindon and London as part of this year’s National Storytelling Week; and most recently at Glastonbury and the Cambridge Folk Festival.
Baden’s repertoire incorporates “traditional” tales from the Caribbean and all over the world, as well as original, self-penned material. As a writer and performer Baden engages reader and audience with a style that is warm, self-assured and displays an entertaining blend of insight and humour.
As always, doors will open at 7.00 for a 7.30 start.
There will be cake and other refreshments There will be the justly famed Feast of Fools Raffle. All this, as well as stories and music - what more can you ask?!
