Unity Words | No.12
JB Barrington plus Kieren King, Hannah Batley and Pandemonium Poets.
Pay What You Feel (#PAYF)

Unity Words returns to Wakefield for a second year, after a superb stretch in 2016 which brought some internationally renowned spoken word artists to the Merrie City. We intend to pick up where we left off, and have a fantastic event in store for you at the end of January.

JB BARRINGTON
JB Barrington is a Salford born award winning performance poet renown for his searing and satirical poetry and snarling delivery of strong sentiments and sharp rhymes. He's is funny, endearing, nostalgic and a spoken word maestro who provides one of the most powerful performances on the UK scene. JBs one man shows have been selling out and they've been described as a rollercoaster of emotions with a brilliant and imaginative display of poetic writing covering social issues, economics, class and loss.

KIEREN KING
Kieren King is a Salford based spoken word artist. He is best known as the co-creator and host of popular Manchester spoken word nights, Evidently (Shortlisted for Best Regular Spoken Word Night – Saboteur Awards 2015) and the Word War Slams, and formerly as a host of Bang Said The Gun: Manchester. He was recently hand-picked by Guy Garvey of Elbow to curate a Spoken Word event as part of the 2016 Meltdown festival at the Southbank Centre in London.

HANNAH BATLEY
Hannah Batley first performed as part of our Pandemonium Poets workshop last year, and is the first poet to work with us under 2017's mentoring scheme. Hannah will spend a couple of full days working with Ralph Dartford as a mentor, and will perform a fifteen minute slot as part of the show.

PANDEMONIUM POETS
A quintet of emerging voices who'll have participated in our spoken word workshop on the afternoon of the event.
