Off The Shelf, Word Life, Speakeasy and Dead Beats Presents;
We cant wait for this. This is one of the mostly hotly anticipated events in Sheffield's literary calendar. The first leg sold out, and we're back even bigger than before as part of Off The Shelf Literature Festival. We'll be releasing advance tickets in the next week.
Featuring;
MARK GRIST
Mark Grist is one of the UK's Leading poets. Most famous for his appearance on 'Dont Flop' battling 17 year old rapper Blizzard which has clocked up 2 and a half million views and counting on youtube. He's one half of 'Dead Poets' a double act that fuses spoken word poetry with hip hop and has appeared at countless literature events up and down the country.
SHEFFIELD UNI VS HALLAM UNI SLAM
The Varsity Poetry Slam is a poetry competition between Sheffield Hallam and Sheffield University. Teams of 5 poets from both universities slug it out one on one to fight it out for cultural bragging rights. Decidedly more raucous than your average poetry reading, expect them to trade a few insults and break a few hearts along the way. Sheffield Hallam are the current reigning champions, but Sheffield uni will be keen to avenge their defeat earlier this year.
NB: There will also be a Free Entry Live Music Event in the downstairs bar hosted by Opus Independents. More details to follow.
Price: £5.00 / £4.00
Time: 7:00pm
Riverside Pub
1 Mowbray Street (bottom of Corporation St, over from Kelham Island), Sheffield, S3 8EN, GB
