Chalk Talk: a spoken word open mic night with live music accompaniment!
An evening where poets and musicians can turn up and perform together to create spoken word performances with a musical or sonic backdrop. All are welcome, regardless of skill level or background. Just bring your beautiful words and sounds.
The music will be created in the format of an improvised jam session, which means musicians can turn up and play together to create music for the evening! The aim is to create music that complements and enriches the narrative or feeling of the spoken word acts.

This is an event where artists can interact and experiment with each other, listen to each other, enjoy themselves, have fun and create something unique and powerful together.
