A event held at The Tobacco Factory on Thursday 20th October. The event starts at 19:30pm.
Milk Poetry is bringing our signature taste of word magic to Tobacco Factory Theatres. Featuring Jemima Foxtrot's spoken word show Melody and Chris Redmond.
Winner of Buxton Festival Fringe's Spoken Word Award, Jemima Foxtrot's Melody fuses spoken word and song to explore how music attaches itself to memories, people and places. From funk and soul to folk music, in her unique and distinctive style Jemima tells a funny, poignant story of childhood, displacement, growing up, love, migration, heartbreak and joy.
“a glittering show, a gem in every sense, a shining thing” - THE STAGE
We'll also be welcoming the coolest man in poetry, creator and frontman of Tongue Fuh- Chris Redmond.
Poet, musician, performer and producer. A regular at music and literature festivals both nationally and internationally, he’s been featured on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 4, XFM, CBBC and Sky Arts. Chris’s debut collection Let The Pig Out is published by Burning Eye. Sometimes he goes deep (ish). Other times he’s content to splash around happily in the shallows. Like a poetry narwhal, but skinnier and without the prongy bit.
‘…a wordsmith wizard whose sublime art of storytelling in verse is impossible to ignore” The Poetry Book Society
And as always - what Milk Poetry is all about. We have two exciting emerging artists coming through to show us what they've got. This time round we're thrilled to introduce Sam J. Grudgings and Amani Z. Saeed to our bill of amazing performers.
It's going to be so super fun, and tickets are only £7, available NOW from Tobacco Factory Theatres.
