Sonnet Youth is a spoken word house party. A literary rave. A poetic piss up - bringing together poets, authors, rappers, comedians and musicians for a night of no holds barred performances.
Curated and hosted by Kevin P. Gilday and Cat Hepburn Write, we're proud to present a night of non-stop entertainment from some of the most unique artists plying their trade in Scotland, and beyond.
Our February bill is a heady mix of big names and vital new talents:
- You'll know our headliner as one of the stars of Never Mind the Buzzcocks but before appearing on your screens he was one of the UK's top performance poets - it's Porky the Poet aka Phil Jupitus.
- Fresh from touring her piece 'The Drift' with the National Theatre of Scotland, Hannah Lavery- Writer will be sharing her beautiful words with us.
- Award winning stand-up and cast member of Scot Squad - if he's good enough for the First Minister, he's good enough for us - it's Stuart McPherson - Comedian.
- Artist and activist Ellie Harrison will be reading from her essential new book 'The Glasgow Effect: A Tale of Class, Capitalism & Carbon Footprint'.
- DIY king of the Glasgow music scene, Lovers Turn to Monsters, serenades us with his melancholy hits.
Plus...
- Exciting new voice, Orla Reid will be sharing her work for the first time on a SY bill.
