Speakeasy
aims to create a meeting
place where vocalists, poets
and musicians of all levels
of ability can feel free
to express themselves. Speakeasy
works from the slam/jam
principle. We provide the
space, locus, environment
and audience members are
invited to contribute lyrically,
in poetry or song with the
optional accompaniment of
live musicians.
The
Speakeasy
ensemble
has
performed
regularly
at
a
quarterly
event
at
the
Green
Room
for
the
last
ten
years.
The
event
also
features
guest
poets/vocalists
with
established
international
reputations
like
Jonzi
D
and
Lemn
Sissay.
We
like
to
encourage
new
local
talent
by
providing
them
with
the
opportunity
to
perform
alongside
more
established
artists.
