Sounds Like: At a Farrago SLAM! ANY style of poetry is welcome, read or performed, ANY number of poems can be presented in the slot and EVERY poet wins a PRIZE! Our events are always open for poets to turn up and sign up on the night and if there is not a slam there is always an open mic.Our feature performers come from every poetry tradition, community and corner of the globe, from concrete to hip hop, jazz to traditional on the page and beyond. Our nights have also featured many different languages, not just English and our Spanish language and International events are an important part of our programme.We also regularly feature music, prose, drama and performance art to explore the possibility of the spoken word!
