Spoken Word All Stars

Welcome to Spoken Word All Stars!

Poetry is blasting its way back into the hearts and minds of a new generation with high energy and rhythmic poetry, winning new audiences for poetry and sketching out a new literary landscape for the 21^st century.

Charity Poet in the City, working with Apples & Snakes, the leading performance poetry organisation, has created Spoken Word All Stars, featuring some of the best spoken word artists in the UK in a fabulous live show. We’ve taken five poets and one globally-acclaimed musician, and given them free rein to create a spectacular evening of wall-to-wall words backed by an addictive mix of musical loops, beats and melodies.

Here you can find out our tour dates, follow our blog, watch videos, listen to audio clips, and talk to us about the project.

Sky Arts @ Spoken Word All Stars: Documentary

Spoken Word All Stars are on a national tour, which began at Latitude Festival 2010, and is featured on TV as a documentary by Sky Arts. But to get the full Spoken Word All Stars experience, come to one of our live shows and allow us to take you on a journey of comedy, tragedy, romance and philosophy – all bound together as the All Stars interweave their words with live and improvised loops, beats and melodies from the sophisticated sax-player Jason Yarde.

The next leg of the tour is at Kings Place in London. Information on how to get tickets can be found here.
