Re*Cords

New to 2016! Following the success of last month's full to capacity event, it comes with much excitement and/or apprehension that we can announce: WE HAVE BEEN UPGRADED TO A BIGGER SPACE. Previously held upstairs in Jacaranda Records, we will now be gathering together as a family in The Basement! This space holds 80 so please bring your family/friends/pets* etc! *please note, pets are not allowed. Spoken word every month at Jacaranda Records. Featuring some of the most exciting up and coming artists from the North West. Performances will be filmed & added to Jacaranda Records YouTube channel. For any poets with dreams of going viral, it could all begin here! This month we are so excited to have Mark Mace Smith headlining!  Mark is a poet, artist and photographer. He studied Journalism, philosophy and politics and was awarded the Scott Trust Bursuary from the Guardian. He has won the Commonword Superheros of Slam and the Glastonbury Festival Slam. He was BBC MediaCity wirter in residence from 2011 to 2015 when he quit, live on air, via a poem. He was born in London and now lives in Mallorca and Manchester. "...Never shy of challenging his audience or himself, Mark's poetry is political, passionate and powerful. With undeniable stage presence, his mastery of exuberant and subtle theatrics mixed with his well woven language is totally engaging. Seeing his name attached to an event is a mark of quality and skilful, heartfelt writing." Dominic Berry. You suggested - we listened! February's theme is "non-romantic love" as always the theme for next month will be chosen by you! First-timers welcome. 3 minute slots only. #rhymesandrecords Produced by Salt Water Poetry For open mic slots please contact: lyndsaywritespoems@gmail.com
