Don’t miss the next Loud Poets show from Scotland’s premier spoken word night!
For over ten years, we have been showcasing the best spoken word poetry from Scotland and beyond. Expect fist-thumping, heart-wrenching, side-tickling poetry performances with live musical accompaniment from Jack Hinks.
Our July 2 Showcase line-up features touring poet Diz Undone, Kareem Parkins-Brown, Spencer Mason, and Emma Atkin.
“Loud Poets is tearing up the landscape, bringing the ancient art to contemporary audiences – spreading mirth, giggles and talent along the way.” - Corr Blimey
“Go listen to Loud Poets and hear them say the things you’ve been trying to say yourself.” - Shane Koyczan
“There’s a humour, poignancy and most of all confidence which serves to inspire.” - Scotsman
