INTRODUCING OUR SEPTEMBER HEADLINERS:
MIKO BERRY:
@mikopoetry
MiKo is one of the best and most successful spoken word poets the UK has to offer. His outstanding performances, energetic, fast-paced imagery and stunning lyricism have gained him multiple slam titles, including the Scottish Slam Championship and the European Slam Championship. He also arrived fourth in the World Slam Championship! MiKo has been a huge influence on the way spoken word has grown and evolved, particularly in the Scottish scene which his performances and projects have revolutionized, and his incredible stage presence combined with his natural command of language make him one of the best live spoken word performers in the world.
Check out what he did the last time he performed at Raise the Bar:

LEYLA JOSEPHINE:
@leylajosephine1
Leyla is the 2014-15 UK National Slam Champion, a title she deservedly earned through her articulate narratives over important subject matter, expressed both powerfully and elegantly through rhythmical cadence, technical rhyme schemes and sublime storytelling. Her poetry moves naturally and effortlessly from serious to comical, using creative structures and unique angles to address crucial issues. Leyla’s style is a far cry from the traditional poetry studied at school - what she brings to the stage is sharp, political and highly entertaining.
