The next Hamilton Slamdown Poetry night is on Monday 25th July at the Lido Cinema. 

Participate or observe either way you are welcome and we want you to come! If you want to participate please let Kashka know before Monday 25th July (email kashkatunstall@gmail.com)

Format: If you have been before you will know how this goes down, if its your first time attending we welcome you….

The idea is to either write orignial poetry, or recite well-known poems on stage as a theatrical performance, so to inspire the audience and keep them engaged.

We are changing it up a little in that we will have some acoustic numbers during the slam. If you are interested in performing an acoustic number let kashka know…..
