Out-Spoken: April
Join us for our monthly celebration of diversity in voice and performance, with bills featuring brilliant poets and musicians, hosted by Joelle Taylor.
Out-Spoken is the Southbank Centre’s resident poetry and live music night, bringing the hottest UK and international poets to perform alongside world-class musicians every month.
Each monthly gig is hosted by TS Eliot- and Polari Prize-winning poet Taylor, with Bromfield spinning the best in reggae, soul and R&B throughout the evening.
Presented in association with Out-Spoken.
