Hammer and Tongue Camden Feb feat. DIZRAELI and SOPHIA WALKER

The UK's biggest poetry slam network welcomes special guest and BBC Radio4 slam winner  DIZRAELI and SOPHIA WALKER.

OPEN SLAM, 8 PLACES, FIRST POETS TO SIGN UP ON THE DOOR GET ON THE LIST.

For those who saw Diz with Kate Tempest in December, or know of him from his work as frontman in Bad Science and The Small Gods or as MC alongside beatboxers Shlomo or Bellatrix, producers like Tom Caruana, DJ Downlow and Jamie Simmonds, MCs like Jam Baxter and Baba Brinkman and even legendary folk musician Chris Wood, you'll know him as a young man who has already made a long career as a prodigious talent. Twice the winner of UK National Slams, with the BBC and with Farrago, he is a spoken word artist who has shown the rest of us how to do performance, An amazing honesty, an upbeat clarity, his work is uplifting, full of love for humanity and composed with an unparralled gift for the verbal craft. He promises not to repeat anything he did in December (unless we really ask him nicely) - so look out for some new stuff!

Check his verse on the latest single by Brighton hiphop The Menagarie. It's sick! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HgexOeGnEI&feature=youtu.be

Or watch him do a little freestyle on the streets of Manchester with Bellatrix. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnE0MetlXfk&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

Diz will be joined by SOPHIA WALKER, variously described as a 'diminutive yank firebrand' and one of the freshest talents to hit stages across the UK and Scotland since she crossed the pond. check her out here defending her stature.
 

First 8 poets to sign up on the door come in for free and enter the competition.
