WHO?
Rally & Broad are Jenny Lindsay and Rachel McCrum who, between their carefully lacquered fingernails, have promoted more Edinburgh events than they can count. Jenny has been credited with creating a thriving spoken word scene in Edinburgh with The Big Word and Is This Poetry?, and is the 2012 BBC Edinburgh Festival Poetry Slam Champion. Rachel has worn through her boots over the last two years in Edinburgh, running nights and hosting national and international performers at events with The Forest Cafe, Inky Fingers and Blind Poetics. Together, they know how to put on a damn good show.
