Hammer and Tongue Open Poetry Slam @ Braindrop, featuring MC Angel

Hammer & Tongue's London arm is bringing the UK's top open slam event to London's very best drum'n'bass night, Braindrop, for the very first time.

We will be turning Hidden’s garden area into a literary battleground before the main arena kicks off and we are looking for eight poets to go head to head with each other in a battle of words and wit. Crowd reaction as ever will influences the final say of the five sets of judges, who again will be picked from our very discerning audience. We also have a headline feature set from the very excellent MC Angel, Hammer and Tongue's 2009 London slam champion who recently battled Keith Allen offstage at Latitude festival.

One slammer will win a slow at Hammer and Tongue's monthly London night, held on the first Monday of the month at Camden's Green Note Cafe at 106 Parkway.

If you are interested in slamming on the night, drop Michelle an email at madsen.michelle@gmail.com. Slammers get in for free and there's a clutch of half price guest list spots for friends of Hammer and Tongue - please contact Michelle again
