Speakers has just celebrated 3 years of free entry free speech cultural growth with its open mic burial. Over 200 world class MCs were present (the majority of them established artist), audio will be available online shortly. We thank everyone who has taken part in our monthly open mic @ the Jamm in Brixton from Feb3rd2005 to Dec6th2007, a lot of whom have supported us and our previous sound system events from many years before at various events legal & illegal in and around London.
We continue now with our ideals to promote & elevate the Spoken Word, Lyrical artform & its message. Throughout the course of 2008 we will be hosting the EOW MC Challenge @ The Rhythm Factory in WhiteChapel (near BrickLane), run the Hip Hop stage @ DropBeatsNotBombs, continue to run & support worth while community projects / campaigns + finally getting round to compiling all our archived footage & audio online. As well as setting out plans for a regular DVD magazine & Mix-tape Series.
The return of SpeakersCorner as the main event will take some time, first we are to look into funding (any help with this would be appreciated), then also venue/enviroment etc.. The important issue to remember is that we WILL be back, hopefully sooner than later.
In the meantime please support the EOW UK events we are hosting, this is a global platform for UK artist. You can find out more including view the entire first seasons heats & final footage at: Myspace.com/EndOfTheWeakUK & EndOfTheWeak.Com .. We our also currently searching for a small roughly 200 capacity inner city venue to host an Open Mic only event to be hosted by the SpeakersQuartet & various guest producers along side the SpeakersCorner resident DJs & Host. Keep your eyes and ears open for more info on this as it happens. Full details should be available here by soon.
