Where does inspiration come from? And why does it sometimes not come soon enough? Regardless, this month we’re celebrating the moment when things fall into place:
The Eureka Moment
…when things start to make sense! Helping us to do this we’re delighted to welcome:
LOUD POETS!
Truly unique Edinburgh-based poetry collective, founded by Scottish Slam Champion Miko Berry, and top-notch performers Kevin McLean (BBC Slam finalist) and Doug Garry.
BLANK CANVAS!
A melding of choppy urgent percussion, thick driving bass that sits way out in the front of the mix, honed guitar riffs, and smooth vocal lines belting pensive lyrics” (Beat of Travel)
JULIA TAUDEVIN!
Widely recognised as one of Scotland’s most exciting new theatre-makers and performers. “Taudevin is fast emerging as one of the most exciting forces in Scottish theatre” (Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman)
DOL EOIN MACKINNON!
Acclaimed singer songwriter, actor and film maker. His creativity in both Gaelic and English extends beyond any one genre and as a performer he is one of the most exciting Gaelic talents and voices in Scotland.
AJ McKENNA!
Newcastle-based author of two pamphlets of poetry, ‘A Lady of a Certain Rage’ and ‘names and songs of women’ and a spoken-word album ‘…the gunshots which kill us are silenced’. A multiple slam-winning poet, AJ was a finalist in the 2013 Superheroes of Slam competition. AJ states: “As a trans poet, my work deals with LGBT issues a lot of the time, but also covers other topics from a generally progressive standpoint.” We’re delighted to have her on board for her first Rally & Broad set!
