HEADLINERS
NB

NB is a multi-medium artist who grew up in rural Norfolk and like many queers, ran away to Brighton. They first took to poetry in college, when they couldn’t connect to the elite poetry syllabus. The medium became an outlet to help them decipher their intersectional perspective of the world. Their work explores fluctuation, the search for authenticity, our relationship with strangers and a non-binary relationship with the body.

After listening and sharing at open mics across Brighton NB was lucky to perform many headline sets, be published in zines and an upcoming book. Regrettably poetry took a backseat for the last few years, as they focused on acting and their punk band BEEF, but this gig is the start of their comeback!

ELLIE
Ell is a queer, neurodivergent creative, based in Brighton.Her work lives where vulnerability meets resistance- through raw, emotionally honest poetry, Ell explores mental health, identity, love, and loss.She writes with the belief that poetry can be a form of healing- a way to process pain, reclaim voice, and turn survival into something powerful.She invites the audience to slow down, feel deeply, and remember that even in the messiest parts of being alive, there is connection, and the possibility of healing.

MUSIC
