Grand Slam 2024
who is the Best Bard of Berkshire
Sunday, 7th January is Grand Slam when in place of our normal open mic the best performance poets from Dreading Slam 2023 compete against each other to win the title of the Dreading Slam Champion for the next 12 months.
The show will begin at 7.30pm with doors opening 15 minutes before the start. It promises to be a lively, fun evening’s entertainment. And it’s Free to come along….
The poets taking part have qualified through the monthly Open Mic heats that are held on the first Sunday of every other month.
2023 has seen some incredibly talented Slam Poets win through to the Final making for a hotly contested event and gives you, the audience, the unique opportunity to hear the very best of Berkshire Poetry.
You might even be randomly selected to judge the performances and become part of the event. (Please note that this contest is not Open Mic).
There will, however, be an Open Mic element at the show with our ever popular Quick Fire Contest. Judged by the loudest applause, the theme for this event is “Resolution”. To take part, just bring along some short poems (up to a maximum of five lines long) and join the fast moving queue
.
Host for the evening will be Current Grad Slam Champion, and Radio Berkshire War of the Words Winner Sarah Smith (akAa Wordsmith)
