This will be the Third series of "Bespoken Word" and (as before) I will be involved in presenting and performing for the show. The first series was a short 15 min airing which gave the whole country an introduction to the undeground scene of Spoken Word poetry. It proved to be so successful that it was granted a SONY award nomination.
By the Second series we were promoted to a full 30 min slot and given a chance to really present Performance Poetry in an entertaining format. This proved to be hugely popular with the national audience and demonstrated that Spoken Word does indeed have the potential to translate from it's small clubs and bars into the mainstream media.
This time around we're hoping to push things further. It's going to require a lot of work and dedication, but for the "Bespoken Word" fans, you won't be disappointed!
