Talkatives

It’s that time of the year again, when the best wordsmiths in the country gather on a single stage to compete for the Talkatives crown. Poets, rappers and spoken word artists go head-to-head, word-to-word, in a classic poetry SLAM style competition. This one is the biggest yet, the stage is the Dublin Book Festival and the artists are past Talkatives winners. Salamay, The Poet Geoff, Cormac Fitz, Leon Dunne, Kestine, Jamie and Freddy Black compete for our biggest prize of 500 euro and the prestige of being the best of the best Talkative.

Hosted by Dagogo Hart of WeAreGriot and Thembe Mvula.

Thembe Mvula appearance supported by the British Council in collaboration with The Times and the Sunday Times Cheltenham Literature Festival.
