Word in Leicester Wednesday 1st March

From 8pm onwards, on Wednesday 1st March, with entrance absolutely FREE for everyone, the monthly Leicester performance poetry and spoken word show will roll onto the stage once more at Bambu, 21 Welford Road (opposite council buildings).

As always, there will be Open Floor Spots available, which sounds unhealthy but actually just means you can step up to the mic yourself if so inclined. For more information on that, you can contact Steve Carroll on 07870 608875 or email him at steve@applesandsnakes.org

Word is Leicester's premier open floor spoken word event. It runs on the first Wednesday of each month at the Bambu café bar, and features a fantastic guest artist as well as open floor spots.

This month's special guest performer is none other than Kimberley Trusty.

Kimberly Trusty grew up in Canada and Jamaica and now resides in Birmingham.
She holds an MA in Colonial and Post-Colonial Literature from the University
of Warwick. Her first book of poetry, 'Darker Than Blue' was published in
2002 (McGilligan Books, Toronto). 'Modern Amazons', her first play, was at
The REP (Birmingham) in June 2005. She was one of the artists selected for
the Apples & Snakes national tour 'Temptations', which ran very successfully
last year.
