2009 Slam Final, plus special guest, Tim Clare.
Three rounds, 9 finalists, one winner...
Charlie Dupre, Charlie Wright, MC Angel, Richard Tyrone-Jones, Andre Mangeot, Catherine Brogan, Charlie Creed-Miles, Wayne Alexander, Joshua Niecho.

For Hammer and Tongue's last competitive slam of the season the very best of London's slamming fraternity (winners of H&T slams over the past year) will be gathering at Camden's Green Note Cafe to supplicate you, the judging audience, to their will through the power of
the spoken word. Winner goes on to compete in the H&T national final at the Brighton festival next month.

We are also delighted to feature the eclectic, story-spinning genius that is Tim Clare. Author, poet and musician, Clare is a doyen of Glastonbury, Latitude and has aired his witty drivel on Radios 1 and 2. Described by the Sunday Times as a ‘highlight of the spoken word scene’, Clare describes himself as ‘‘Bob Hoskins going mental in a dustbin'.
