THE WORD Slam Poetry and more

Hosted by spoken word artist Marty Mulligan, The Word showcases a fine blend of poetry, spoken word, slam, prose, rap, readings, literature, comedy and music brought to you by an eclectic mix of national and international writers, poets and performers, all backed by The Aftermath, an act the Irish Independent rated as "the saviours of Irish rock" and they'll be mixing it up with some very special guest artists throughout the weekend.

There will be readings from emerging and established writers such as Olaf Tyaransen, Ronan Sommerville, Ronan Casey and many more. We're also thrilled to present The Book Club Boutique, which is rocking the London literary scene to its core with its outlandish shows.
